Ruler or a straightedge, pencil or marker, a ring sizer printout (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
At-Home Method
Using a String or Flexible Measuring Tape.
Cut a strip of paper or use a piece of string that is long enough to wrap around your finger.
Wrap the string around the base of your finger, just below the knuckle. Make sure the string is not too tight or too loose.
Mark the point where the string overlaps & use a pencil or marker to mark the point where the string overlaps.
Measure the length & use a ruler or straightedge to measure the length of the string from the starting point to the marked point.
Record the measurement in millimetres or inches. Now refer to the size chart below to get your exact size.
Ring Size Guide: Using a Ring Size Chart NZ Print Out
Download and print a ring size chart printout from the Stonex Jewellers NZ and print it on paper.
Cut out the ring sizer or the ring size chart and make sure it is flat. Use a ring size chart NZ.
You can measure anyone’s ring size by just putting the ring that fits them best and putting it on the chart.
Find your ring size by matching the circumference of your finger to the corresponding ring size on the printout.
Tips and Considerations
Measure your ring size at the end of the day, as fingers tend to be slightly larger due to heat and humidity. Measuring with a ring size chart is the most preferable way to do so.
Measure the ring size for the finger you plan to wear the ring on. If you want to wear the ring on your left finger rather than right, then measure your left finger. Use the ring size chart for better results.
If you plan to wear a thicker ring, consider adding 0.5 to 1 size to your measurement. Use a ring size chart by Stonex Jewellers for a better measurement.
Always double-check your measurement.
Take multiple measurements to confirm your ring size.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Measuring too tight can result in a ring that is too small.
Measuring too loose can result in a ring that is too large.
Not considering the ring size type can result in an inaccurate measurement.
Measuring your ring size at home is a simple and accurate way to determine your ring size without visiting a jewellery store. By following these step-by-step instructions and considering the tips and considerations, you can ensure a perfect fit for your ring.
