Why Measure Your Ring Size at Home?

Measuring your ring size at home can be beneficial for several reasons:

Convenience: Measuring your ring size at home saves you time and effort, especially if you live far from a jewellery store.

Accuracy: By measuring your ring size at home, you can ensure accuracy, as you can take multiple measurements to confirm your size.

Cost-effective: Measuring your ring size at home eliminates the need for professional sizing, which can save you money.

Tools Needed To measure your ring size at home, you will need the following tools:

String or a flexible measuring tape (preferably a strip of paper or a piece of string)

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.
