How to Find Your Ring Size at Home

Not sure what ring size you need? No problem! Here are a few simple ways to determine your ring size without a professional ring sizer.

Method 1: Measure a Ring You Already Own

The easiest and most accurate method is to measure a ring that already fits the finger you plan to wear your new ring on.

  1. Place the ring on a ruler.
  2. Measure the inside diameter of the ring (the distance across the center of the ring, not including the metal).
  3. Compare your measurement to the chart below.
Inside Diameter US Ring Size
16.5 mm Size 6
17.3 mm Size 7
18.1 mm Size 8
18.9 mm Size 9
19.8 mm Size 10
20.6 mm Size 11
21.4 mm Size 12

Method 2: Use a String or Strip of Paper

If you don't have a ring that fits, you can measure your finger directly.

  1. Wrap a piece of string, ribbon, or strip of paper around the base of your finger.
  2. Mark where the ends meet.
  3. Lay it flat and measure the length in millimeters.
  4. Compare the measurement to the chart below.
Finger Circumference US Ring Size
52 mm Size 6
54 mm Size 7
57 mm Size 8
60 mm Size 9
62 mm Size 10
65 mm Size 11
67 mm Size 12

Helpful Tips

  • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is at its largest.
  • Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as fingers tend to shrink slightly.
  • If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size in between.
  • If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up.
