📏 How to Measure Ring Size at Home (Step-by-Step)
Whether you’re measuring with string, paper, or a ring you already own, the method is quick, easy, and surprisingly accurate.
1. Use a String or Paper Strip
- Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of your finger.
- Make sure it’s snug, but not tight.
- Mark the point where it overlaps.
2. Measure the Length
- Lay the strip flat and measure the length in millimetres.
- This gives you the circumference of your finger.
3. Find Your Size with Our Tools
- Use our Ring Size Calculator to convert circumference into your UK, US, or EU ring size instantly.
- Prefer a chart? Our Ring Size Guide includes a full ring size chart with conversions.
🔁 Already Own a Ring?
If you have a ring that fits perfectly:
- Measure its inside diameter in mm.
- Use our Ring Size Guide to find the matching size.
- Or simply pop your diameter into our Ring Size Calculator.
- Time of Day Matters: Measure in the evening, when fingers are naturally a bit larger.
- Temperature Counts: Cold fingers shrink; warm fingers swell. Aim for room temp.
- Knuckles vs. Base: If your knuckle is wider than the base, size up slightly.
- Ring Width Affects Fit: Wider bands feel tighter – go up half a size if you love chunky styles
