How can you determine which ring size is right for you without resorting to the services of a jeweler? Don't worry, by following the step-by-step instructions below, you will be able to determine which ring size is right for you without leaving your home.

Steps

Method 1 of 1: Determining Ring Size

1. 1 Cut out a strip of paper or cut off a piece of thread. The strip of paper should be no wider than 2 cm and no less than 10 cm in length.
2. 2 Wrap a piece of paper or string around the widest part of the finger you want to measure. Make sure the strip or thread wraps around your finger tightly, but not too tight.
3. 3 Mark the point on the thread or strip of paper where the circle closes.
4. 4 Measure the length of a strip of paper or thread. Measurements should be taken with a tape measure or ruler, starting from the opposite edge of the strip or thread to the point you marked.
   • Compare your results with the table below to determine the correct ring size for your measurements.
     
     
5. 5 If you fail, you can ask a jeweler or any reputable jewelry department for help and they can determine which ring size is right for you. In most stores, ring measurement is a free service.

Tips

• It is also a good idea to measure the size of the finger in the joint area and make adjustments to the results obtained so that the ring does not press on you in the joint area or does not fall off the finger.
• Do not forget to note to yourself what time of year the measurements were taken. Fingers may swell a little in summer and return to normal in winter. Remember and consider this when determining the measurement results.
• Most jewelry stores only charge you a one-time ring resizing fee, even if you have to resize the ring more than once. A store that is respected by customers will not charge you for subsequent ring resizing.
• Your fingers may become swollen during pregnancy or taking medications that contain steroids. If the swelling is temporary (you do not plan to become pregnant anytime soon, or the course of treatment with drugs containing steroids is short-term), you should purchase a smaller ring.
• Remember: Do not resize tungsten rings. Titanium rings can only be enlarged by about half a centimeter.
• If you are going to buy a set of jewelry for yourself and your significant other, you should determine the size of the ring that suits her or him before buying.
