Finding your ring size can seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite easy once you know how. Here are two methods you can try to determine your ring size:
Measuring the circumference of your finger with thread.
OR
Measuring the diameter of the ring you already have.
Measuring the circumference of your finger with thread:
To measure your ring size using thread, you’ll need a flexible measuring tape, a piece of string, and a ruler. First, wrap the measuring tape or string around your finger, making sure it’s snug but not too tight. Then, measure the length of the tape or string with a ruler. Finally, compare the measurement to a ring size chart to determine your size.
Measuring the diameter of the ring you already have.
To measure the diameter of a ring, you will need a ruler or a measuring tape. Here’s how to do it:
- Place the ring on a flat surface, such as a table or a piece of paper.
- Place the ruler or measuring tape across the ring, making sure that it is straight and perpendicular to the ring.
- Measure the distance between the two points where the ring touches the ruler or measuring tape. This distance is the diameter of the ring.
If you are using a ruler, you may need to estimate the measurement if the ring is not an exact fit on the ruler. In this case, it is best to use a measuring tape, as it will provide a more accurate measurement.
In the table below, you can see the US & European sizes.
Ring Size (US) | Ring size (EU) | Circumference (mm) | Diameter (mm) |
5 | 50 | 50 | 15.91 |
6 | 52 | 52 | 16.55 |
7 | 54 | 54 | 17.18 |
8 | 56 | 56 | 17.82 |
9 | 58 | 58 | 18.46 |
10 | 60 | 60 | 19.09 |
It’s important to note that your ring size can change due to factors such as weight fluctuation, pregnancy, and age. It’s always a good idea to double-check your size before purchasing a new ring.
