How to measure ring size is an extremely important thing you ought to know before you order your ring. There are several methods that you could apply:
1. If you already have a right-sized at home:
If you have a right-sized ring, you only need to use a ruler and place it onto the ring, take a photo and send it to me. It’s important that the beginning of the ruler’s scale is placed on the widest part of the ring, and for the ruler’s scale to start from the inner diameter wall.
2. If you don’t have a right-sized ring:
If you don’t have a ring that you could measure, then you would need paper, a pencil, and a ruler. Cut out a thin piece of paper and wrap it around the finger where you would wish to wear your new ring on. Make sure the paper is neither too tight nor too loose around the finger. Next, with a pencil, mark the paper where it overlaps. Unroll the paper on the ruler and write down the total length – the overall ring size.
If you have the possibility to check the inner diameter and the ring size, the results should match and then you can check your ring size in the following table:
3. The safest method
If you aren’t skilful with the measurement, the safest method would be to go to the nearest jewelry store and ask them to have your ring size measured.
Attention:
The most reliable method so far has been the first one, when you send me the photo of a ruler placed on the ring you already have and know it fits you well.
While you are measuring your ring size, bear in mind that every ring can have a different ring size. The ring that fits your left index finger will not fit the index finger on your right hand. Hence, it’s vital for you to decide on which hand you’ll be wearing your new ring.
Make sure that the ring is worn on normal body temperature, because fingers could shrink or expand when it’s cold or hot. Also, many other things could implement the ring measurement procedure such as times of the day, tiredness, consumption of certain foods and beverages, etc.
Measure the ring size a couple of times in order to ensure that the measures are absolutely correct.
