How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home (It’s Easier Than You Think!)
Finding your ring size doesn’t have to be complicated—in fact, it’s really simple! Whether you need it for:
- Dropping hints to your partner (just in case!)
- Buying rings for different fingers
- Expanding your jewelry collection without wasting money
…knowing your size is super useful. Here are the easiest ways to measure it at home.
6 Easy Ways to Measure Your Ring Size
1. Use a Ring Sizer App
The simplest method! Just:
- Download a free app like RingSizer.
- Place a well-fitting ring on your screen and adjust the circle to match.
- Or, select the finger-measuring option and follow the prompts.
2. Order a Free Ring Sizer
Many jewelry sites (like Blue Nile) offer free plastic sizers—no payment needed!
3. The Paper Strip Method
- Cut a strip of paper (6″ long, ¼” wide).
- Wrap it around your finger and mark where it overlaps.
- Measure the length and compare it to a sizing chart.
4. Use a Measuring Tape
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your finger, note the measurement, and check a sizing chart.
5. String or Shoelace Trick
- Wrap a string around your finger and mark the overlap.
- Measure the length and match it to a chart.
6. Compare to a Printed Sizing Chart
Place a well-fitting ring over a printed chart to find your match.
Pro Tips for Accurate Sizing
- Comfort is key: Rings should slide on easily but not fall off.
- Measure all fingers: Sizes vary—keep notes in your phone.
- Check multiple times: Measure 2-3 times for accuracy.
- Knuckles matter: If yours are larger, size up slightly.
- Measure at room temperature: Fingers shrink or expand in heat/cold.
- Try different times of day: Slight changes can happen!
