Wondering how to find out your ring size? We’re happy to help! Getting your size is a quick and easy process that you can do from the comfort of your home. Even if you think you know your size already, it’s best to confirm before ordering. Finger sizes can change over time, and you don’t want to be guessing when it comes to your forever ring!

The Easiest Method: Measuring With Household Items

Let’s start with the most simple and straightforward way to measure your finger. All you need is a piece of paper or string, a ruler, a pen or scissors, and our handy size guide. Here’s how to measure your ring size:

  1. Wrap a piece of paper or string around the circumference of your ring finger (or whichever finger will wear the ring).
  2. Make sure it’s loose enough to slide on and off over your knuckle with minimal resistance, but not so tight that you can’t remove it.
  3. If you’re using paper, mark where the ends meet with a pen; if you’re using string, cut where the ends meet.
  4. Unwrap and flatten the paper or string.
  5. Measure the length of the paper or string.
  6. Match the length of the material to the corresponding size on this chart:

The Most Accurate Method: Using a Ring Sizer

The Ring Sizer

For the highest level of precision, we recommend learning how to measure your ring size with a ring sizer. While measuring with a string or paper is convenient and can provide accurate results if done properly, there’s always a small margin for error. Using an accurate ring sizer on the other hand guarantees that human error won’t skew the results.

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to find out your ring size with a ring sizer. It couldn’t be any easier! Simply slide your ring finger into the holes until you find a close fit. Narrow down your top one or two best-fitting rings, and then pop them out of the tray. Wear the plastic ring to ensure it fits comfortably. It should be snug enough to not fall off on its own when your hand is hanging down, yet loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little twist.

Ring sizers are free (upon request) with engraved rings and couples’ ring sets. If you’re unsure of your ring size, simply select the ‘mail sizer first’ option when placing your order. We’ll wait until you confirm your size with us before completing and shipping your order.
