Determine ring size: Instructions & tips for measuring

A ring is not just a piece of jewelry, but also a symbolic gesture and an expression of your personality.

To ensure that your ring fits perfectly and feels comfortable, the correct ring size is of utmost importance.

In this guide you will find useful tips and steps to determine the ideal ring size, taking various factors into account.

1. Use an existing ring as a reference

If you already have a ring that fits well, you can use that as a starting point. Measure the inner diameter of the ring with a ruler or caliper. Make sure to note the diameter in millimeters.

2. Use a ring sizer

You can find free ring size tables or ring size measurements to print out in many jewelry stores or online. These measurements will help you determine the correct size based on the inner diameter of your existing ring.

3. Visit a jeweler

The best way to determine your ring size is to visit a jeweler. They have professional ring sizers that can give you an accurate measurement. Be sure to try the ring on different fingers as fingers can be different sizes.

4. Note the width of the ring

If the ring you want to purchase is wider, you may need a slightly larger size. Wide rings tend to have a tighter fit because they spread more surface area across the finger.

5. Consider the time of day and temperature

Fingers may swell or shrink slightly throughout the day, depending on factors such as temperature, activity, and fluid intake.

On cold days, the blood vessels in the fingers constrict, which can lead to a temporary reduction in the size of the fingers.

Fingers can swell in warmer temperatures. It is therefore best to measure your ring size at normal room temperature and at different times of the day.

6. Try different sizes

If you are ordering online and are unsure which size fits best, it is advisable to order a size range. Retailers often offer ring size sets that allow you to try out different sizes to find the best fit.

7. Take your time

Determining the correct ring size requires patience and care. It is important that the ring fits comfortably, neither too tight nor too loose. A ring should slide easily over the finger but not fall off.

Tips if the ring size is too small

If you find that the ring is too tight and difficult to remove, remain calm . Do not force the ring off as this could cause injury or damage.

Instead, try soothing your finger by lifting it slightly and running cold water over it. The cold can help reduce swelling. You could also use soap or oil to gently wet the finger and gently remove the ring.

If the ring gets stuck despite these methods, it is important to seek professional help immediately to avoid injury. A jeweler or medical professional will have the tools and techniques necessary to safely remove the ring.
