Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

✦ Method 1: Using a Ring You Already Own

  1. Select a ring that fits the intended finger.
  2. Use a precise tool—like a caliper or ruler—to measure the inside diameter across the widest point.
  3. Compare this number against the chart below to determine the US ring size.

✦ Method 2: Wrapping with a String or Paper Strip

  1. Take a thin strip of paper or string.
  2. Wrap it snugly (but not tightly) around the base of your finger.
  3. Mark where the ends meet.
  4. Measure the circumference in millimeters, then use the chart below to find your ring size.

Measurement Tips — Accuracy Matters

  • Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are naturally more enlarged.
  • Don’t measure on cold hands—cold can shrink finger size temporarily.
  • For half-sizes, consider rounding up for comfort.
  • Avoid too-tight wraps—you want a ring that’s secure but easy to remove.
  • Double-check with a caliper if possible; millimeter precision makes a difference
