How to find your ring size – the complete guide
Why is the correct ring size important?
A correctly chosen ring size ensures comfortable wear and prevents the loss of the jewel. A ring that is too tight can restrict blood circulation, while one that is too loose can easily slip off the finger.
Method 1: Measuring with tape or paper
- Wrap a narrow strip of paper or tape around the finger on which you want to wear the ring.
- Mark the point where the paper/tape meets.
- Measure the length in millimeters – this is the circumference of your finger.
- Compare the measured circumference with the size chart below.
Method 2: Measuring an existing ring
- Take a ring that fits you well.
- Measure its inner diameter in millimeters.
- Compare with the size chart.

Tips for accurate measurement
- Measure in the evening – fingers are thinner in the morning and slightly swollen in the evening, which corresponds to the normal state during the day.
- Measure at room temperature – cold causes fingers to contract.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
- Knuckle vs. base of finger – if you have a larger knuckle, measure the knuckle as well and choose a size between the circumference of the knuckle and the base of the finger.
