Tips for you:
When measuring your ring at home, here are some important things to consider:
- When to measure?
It is probably that your finger size will change throughout the day. Your fingers will tend to be thinner in the morning and tend to be larger during the evening due to changes in weather, hormones, medication, etc.
Therefore, it is recommended that you measure a ring multiple times during the day. It is crucial that the ring size you choose feel comfortable in the evening when fingers tend to expand in size.
- How should it fit?
It is essential that you feel comfortable with the ring. As a guide, your ring should fit your finger well enough so it won’t fall off. Also, keep in mind that the ring should be loose enough to fit over a knuckle without too much pressure.
- Should it go bigger or smaller?
Your ring should fit snugly enough on your finger so it won’t fall off, but it should also be loose enough to be comfortable and fit your knuckle without too much difficulty, and to accommodate changes in finger size each day.
If you are in doubt between sizes, it is always better to go a size slightly larger than one that is too small – there is nothing worse than a ring that is too tight on your finger.
Wide rings
If you are buying a ring that has a wide band (more than 7mm or 0.27 ”), this requires a larger size. You need to increase by half a size in US numeric sizes or a full size in the Australian ring size alphabet system.
Most Common Ring Sizes for Women:
AU/UK: L½ or US: 6
AU/UK: N½ or US: 7
AU/UK: P½ or US: 8
AU/UK: R½ or US: 9
The lower the letter or number, the smaller the size.
Measuring from existing ring
If you’ve got a ring that fits you perfectly, this is a great way to find out your ring size (or to secretly find out someone else’s size if you’re buying a ring as a gift).
Download our Ring Sizer and print it. The guide should be printed so that your printer doesn’t alter the size of the page in any way (instructions are included). Then line up the inside edge of your ring with the inside edge of the circles included on that page to determine your ring size.
Another method, easy and quick but less accurate
For this method, we recommend that someone help you. Cut a sturdy yet flexible strip of paper about 6 “long and 0.25” wide.
Wrap the paper around the finger where you would use the ring.
Mark where the paper fit is when you feel it has a comfortable fit that is likely to be at your knuckles.
Measure the distance with a ruler that shows millimeters or fractional inches.
