If you don't know your ring size, it can be difficult to order a ring.It isn't always convenient to make an appointment with a jeweler who can give you the most precise measurement.It is possible to do a pretty accurate job at home.Use a ring size chart or ruler to measure your finger with a flexible measuring tape.The process is even simpler if you already own a great-fitting ring.If you compare your ring to a chart, you can get your size.
Step 1: Measure around your finger with flexible measuring tape.
Place the tape close to the knuckle.Your ring needs to slide over this part of your finger.It shouldn't be painful to take on and off your ring.Measure with cloth or plastic tape.It will be hard to wrap around your finger with metal measuring tape, and could cause injury.Check out different websites for ring sizers.The ring sizes are visible on the ruler, which means you don't have to convert the measurements.The paper should not be wrapped tightly.A snug but comfortable fit is what you want.The fingers on different hands are not the same.Make sure to use the correct finger for the ring.If you're going to get an engagement ring, you should be using your left ring finger.The size of your fingers can change throughout the day.Weird, right?Measure at the end of the day.
Step 2: The measurement should be recorded where the tape overlaps.
This can be done with a pen or pencil on a separate piece of paper.The measurement can be recorded in inches or millimeters.European retailers might only have a single measurement in millimeters.If you're using a printed ring sizer, mark the point where it overlaps directly on the ruler.
Step 3: The measurement is compared to a chart.
It is time to find your size after you have the numbers.Many online jewelry retailers have these charts.It isn't necessary if you want to print the chart for reference.For instance, 2.34” (59.5mm) is a size 9.If your measurement falls between two sizes, you should go for the largest one.If you are using a printed ring sizer, make sure you mark the overlap to figure out your size.
Step 4: Find and print a ring size chart.
There are a number of circles of different sizes on the charts.You can get a sizing chart from your personal retailer.The chart will match the size of the products.The ring you order might not fit because of a distorted chart.Any scaling options on your printer should be turned off.
Step 5: You need a ring that fits your finger.
Choose a ring that is snug, but not too tight.Even your two ring fingers can be different sizes if you don't make sure the ring fits the correct finger.If you don't own a ring, you can make one by wrapping wire or paper around your finger.
Step 6: The circles are on the chart.
For the perfect fit, the circle should match the inside of the ring.You should go for the larger size if you are stuck between two smaller sizes.You want to go larger because your finger will swell throughout the day.It will be too tight if the ring is too small.The ring will be too small for you if you match the circle up with the outside.
