FINDING THE RIGHT RING SIZE

Finding the perfect ring is an exciting endeavor, but ensuring it fits comfortably is equally important. Whether you're planning to shop for yourself or surprise someone with a beautiful piece of jewellery, determining the correct ring size is crucial. In this blog post, we'll explore various methods to measure your ring size accurately, both with the help of a professional jeweller and on your own.

1. Professional Jeweller: Quick and Accurate

The most accurate way to determine your ring size is by visiting a professional jeweller. Simply walk into your nearest jewellery store, and kindly ask for their assistance. Skilled jewellers can quickly and easily measure your ring size, ensuring a perfect fit. It's a simple and reliable option.

2. Measure with an Existing Ring

If you prefer measuring your ring size at home, you can use an existing ring that fits you perfectly. Follow these steps:

• Take a ring that fits comfortably on the finger you intend to wear the new piece of jewellery.

• Measure the inside diameter of the ring using a ruler or calipers.

• Refer to a ring size chart here to find your size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, opt for the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

3. Non-Stretchy String or Paper Method

For a DIY approach, you can use a non-stretchy string or a strip of paper to determine your ring size:

• Wrap the string or paper around the base of your finger for a snug fit (not too tight).

• Mark the point where the string or paper overlaps to form a complete circle.

• Measure the length of the string or paper and refer to a ring size chart here to find your ring size.

4. Printable Ring Sizer

Another easy method is to use a printable ring sizer you can find in my ring size guide here, or you can find them in various online resources, including jewellery websites. Follow these steps:

• Print the ring sizer on a piece of paper and cut it out.

• Make small incisions where indicated on the paper.

• Wrap the paper around your finger at the base and slip the arrowhead inside the incision with the numbers facing out.

• Tighten the ring sizer around your finger so it fits comfortably.

• Read your ring size where indicated on the paper. If your size falls between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Sizing Tips for Accuracy

To ensure the most accurate measurement, keep these tips in mind:

• In order to get the most accurate measure, it is best you have warm hands and do the measuring later in the day after you have done all the eating, drinking and sweating.

• Be aware that your left hand may differ slightly from your right hand.

• Keep in mind that wider ring bands may feel tighter than narrower bands.

• For the perfect fit, your ring should slide onto your finger easily but require a bit more effort to take off than to put on.

In conclusion, measuring your ring size accurately is essential for a comfortable and enjoyable wearing experience. Whether you seek the assistance of a professional jeweller or opt for DIY methods, following these guidelines will help you find the perfect ring size for your beautiful piece of jewellery. Remember, a well-fitted ring not only looks stunning but also feels wonderful on your finger.
