Measuring your finger

You can also measure your ring size at home with the following steps.


Gather your supplies

Before you start, make sure you have the following items:
  • A thin strip of paper or string
  • A ruler or measuring tape
  • A pen or pencil

Measure your finger

  1. Wrap the paper or string around the base of the finger you want to measure. It should fit snugly but not too tightly.
  2. Mark the point where the paper or string meets to form a complete circle.
  3. Use a ruler or measuring tape to to measure the length of the marked paper or string. This value will be the finger circumference.
  4. Use the above sizing chart to find your ring size.

Tips:

  • If you are between sizes, we suggest you choose the bigger size.
  • Cold weather can shrink your fingers up to half a size, so make sure they’re warm.
