What if, however, you cannot visit a jewelry store to get you professionally sized? Worry not there are a lot of trusted and innovative methods to measure your ring size while still at home. In this tutorial, we’ll take you through all you need to know to discover your ideal ring size without setting foot in a shop. And if you’re buying a beautiful piece from Cyera these tips will make your ring fit perfectly.
Why Ring Size Matters
Before we go into the how-to’s, let’s talk about why it’s so crucial to have the right ring size. A ring that’s too tight is uncomfortable, restricts circulation, or worse, gets stuck on your finger. A ring that’s too loose has a good possibility of falling off and being lost. The right fit gives you comfort, security, and confidence when you’re wearing your ring.
1. Use a Printable Ring Sizer
One of the most precise home methods is taking a printable ring sizer. Most jewelry sites, including larger retailers, provide free downloadable ring size charts which you can print and use to measure your finger.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Print and download the ring sizer to an A4 sheet. Have your printer at 100% scale (not resized or scaled).
- Take away the sizing chart, usually a strip of measurements indicated on it.
- Wrap the strip around the finger you are wrapping.
- Pass the pointed end through the slit and tighten until it is in place.
- The number that matches the direction of the arrow is your ring size.
Pro Tip: Print the sizer on cardstock or heavy paper so it will be more robust. Take your finger measurement late at night when it will be the largest because it will have swollen naturally.
2. Measure a Ring You Already Own
If you have an existing ring that fits, you can use it as a point of reference to figure out your size.
How to Do It:
- Place the ring on a level surface.
- Take the inner diameter of the ring in millimeters with a ruler.
- Measure against a ring chart (which can be easily accessed online).
- Alternatively, mark the inner circle of the ring on paper and measure along the diameter.
Pro Tip: Make sure the ring you’re testing on is off the same finger you’re buying for because fingers do differ from finger to finger. Your middle finger and ring finger might be different, for example.
3. Use a Piece of String or Paper
No printer? No problem! A simple piece of string or paper can help you find your ring size.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around the base of your finger.
- Mark the point where the string or paper overlaps.
- Measure the length (in millimeters) from the end to the mark.
- Compare the measurement to a ring size chart to determine your size.
Pro Tip: Avoid using thick materials like yarn, as they can lead to inaccurate measurements. Use a thin, non-stretchy string or a strip of paper for the best results.
4. Try a Ring Sizing App
Technology has made ring sizing even easier. Several apps, like Ring Sizing™ or Jewelry by Lux, use augmented reality or photo-based measurements to determine your ring size.
How to Use It:
- Download a reputable ring sizing app from your app store.
- Follow the instructions, which may involve placing a ring you own on the screen or taking a photo of your finger.
- The app will calculate your size based on the input.
Pro Tip: Use these apps as a supplementary tool and double-check with another method for accuracy. While convenient, apps may not always be 100% precise.
5. Consider Finger Shape and Knuckle Size
Finger shape and knuckle size can significantly affect how a ring fits. If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, you may need a slightly larger size to ensure the ring slides on comfortably.
How to Account for It:
- Measure both the base of your finger and your knuckle.
- Choose a size that fits snugly at the base but can still slide over the knuckle.
Pro Tip: If you’re between sizes, it’s usually better to size up, as rings can be resized smaller if needed. However, resizing is not always possible for certain styles or materials, so choose carefully.
6. Keep These Tips in Mind
- Measure at the Right Time: Finger size can fluctuate throughout the day due to temperature, hydration, and other factors. Measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s likely to be at its largest.
- Consider the Ring Width: Wider bands tend to fit tighter, so you may need to go up half a size if you’re buying a chunky ring.
- Account for Seasonal Changes: Fingers can swell in hot weather and shrink in cold weather. Keep this in mind if you’re buying a ring for a specific season.
- When in Doubt, Consult a Professional: If you’re unsure about your measurements, many online jewelers offer free ring sizers or virtual consultations to help you get it right.
7. What to Do If You’re Buying a Surprise Ring
If you’re shopping for a diamond ring (like an engagement ring), you might not be able to measure the recipient’s finger directly. Here are some creative ways to figure out their size:
- Borrow a Ring: Secretly borrow a ring they already wear on the correct finger and use it to determine their size.
- Ask for Help: Enlist the help of a friend or family member who might know their size or can discreetly find out.
- Guess and Resize Later: If you’re unsure, it’s better to buy a slightly larger size and have it resized later. Most jewelers offer resizing services.
