Determining the accurate ring size is essential to ensure comfort and confidence in terms of wearability of jewellery. The accurate size and fit is important, whether you are purchasing an engagement ring, wedding band, or ring to wear daily. Finding the right size will avoid situations where the rings are too tight or too loose. This guide will assist in understanding how to measure your ring size, sizing tips, and the importance of using a reputable ring size guide.
Measuring Your Ring Size
There are some great ways to measure the size of your finger. The most favourable options are:
- A Ring Sizer: This is the most accurate method of measuring a finger. A Ring sizer is a tool that slides down your finger that can be adjusted to fit comfortably.
- Guide for Tape Measurement (to print): Many brands offer a printable guide for measuring ring size. Be sure to print it at 100%.
- String or Paper Method: Wrap a strand of string or a piece of paper around the bottom of your finger. Mark where the strand or paper overlaps. Using a ruler, measure the inside of your ring in millimeters, and then reference the ring size guide for your size.
- Using a Current Ring: If you have a ring that is the appropriate size you desire, measure the inside diameter of your current ring to determine your size.
- Get a Complete Measurement: Measure your finger in the afternoon or evening when it is at its largest.
Consider the size of your knuckle when taking your measurements. The ring should slide over your knuckle without much trouble.
Take several measurements to ensure they are consistent.
Why Knowing Your Accurate Ring Size Is Important:
Choosing the correct size for your ring is important for both comfort and your overall look. A ring can fall off if it is too loose, while a ring that is too tight could cause discomfort or worse for an extended period of time.
