How Do I Measure My Ring Size?
How do I measure my ring size is a question we often get asked at the studio. Ring sizes are affected by a number of factors- age, medical conditions, pregnancy, temperature, to name a few.
For the purpose of this article we will look to find out your basic ring size.
Tips
- Take the measurement in the evening, when your finger will be a little larger.
- Don’t take the measurement when your finger is cold. This can give you a reading smaller than what you need.
Here’s a step-by-step outline of the best ways to measure your current ring size.
Method 1:
You Will Need
- Fine nib marker or another easy flow pen
- Paper
- Ruler (cm / mm)
- Cut a long strip of paper no wider than 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) .
- Wrap it around the base of your chosen finger you want to size.
- Ensure the loop of paper slides easily over your knuckle without getting stuck, but is still close-fitting.
- Take your pen and mark the points on both sides of the paper where it overlaps.
- Open up the piece of paper, take a ruler and measure the distance between the two marked points.
- From here you should use a ring chart to measure the size of the ring needed for your finger.
