Understanding Ring Sizes: What You Need To Know Before Buying A Ring

Whether shopping in a store or online, any gold or silver jewellery is usually a decision worth making after considering the size and design that you need. Before making any jewellery purchases, we think it’s wise to learn how to measure your ring size on your own. So, today let’s learn how to measure ring sizes at home so you order the best fitting jewellery for yourself.

This is especially true when it comes to rings, as they can get uncomfortable when worn in the wrong size. Not to forget, if it’s loose, they can easily be lost too. So, buy jewellery that fits you the best and learn how to measure ring size yourself. We are going to share insights on how to do it yourself in a few minutes, within the comforts of your home.

Methods For Measuring Ring Size

When measuring your ring finger, it is important to take into consideration your day-to-day work and activities. Our fingers tend to shrink and swell throughout the day, due to factors like exercise, salt intake, weather, humidity & time of the day. Hence, all of these external factors impact the accuracy of the ring measurement.

Method 1: Use A String

If you prefer to measure your ring size the traditional way at home, it couldn’t be more easy. You just need a piece of string and a ruler handy and follow the steps:

Cut a length of string and wrap it around your finger (where you wear the ring). Make sure the finger is the one which you prefer.

Now find the spot where one of the strings meets the other, making a whole circle around your finger.

Now mark that spot and straighten the string to measure its length on a ruler. If you do not have a ruler, a tape measure might also work.

Using this measurement number, use this to determine your size on the ring size chart. If the size chart is in millimetres, make sure to use the right standard unit to measure it.

Method 2: Stonex Jeweller’s Ring Size Chart

The best way to measure your ring is to do it by using our ring size chart. With the help of these charts, you can get an accurate ring size and shop your designer dress rings with us. The simple method to do it is to simply place your existing ring on our chart and see which size matches yours the best. Whichever ring size you choose will be the perfect size for you.

Method 3: Ring Size Tool

This step is pretty simple and easy to follow:

Purchase a ring sizing tool to keep in your jewellery box forever.

To use it, simply put your finger in it and keep tightening till it properly fits your finger size.

Do not wrap it tight or else you might get a tighter ring than your size.

Make sure you can remove the ring sizing tool easily so that you’d want it to if it was the ring.

Now mark the number on the sizer and that’ll be your definite ring size. If your rig size is between two numbers, it’s better to round up.

Make sure to determine your accurate ring size using the above methods. We suggest that the best ring size is the one that’s not too tight or too loose but just perfect. You’re aiming for a comfortable but secure ring size that does not slide off your fingers along with a little resistance. Remember a perfect ring should be able to rotate around the base of your finger easily. Get the best gold rings, wedding rings, diamond rings, and silver rings from Stonex Jewellers.
