How to measure your finger size?
In this article
Do you want to buy yourself a ring but you don't know your size? Here are 3 tips for measuring your finger size.
1 - Measure the circumference of your ring
Necessary tools
- Among your rings, choose the one that suits you best in terms of size
- Ideally, equip yourself with a sliding caliper (we agree, it is not an object that is easy to find on hand), otherwise a simple ruler .
Trick
Make sure your ring is round and accurately measure the inside diameter of your ring using a caliper or ruler.
You will get a value between 1.33 cm and 2.22 cm. Then refer to the following correspondence table to find out the ring size that corresponds to you.
In case your measurement falls between two sizes, it is advisable to choose the larger size.
2 - Use the virtual ring sizer
Necessary tools
- Among your rings, choose the one that suits you best in terms of size
- A rule
Trick
The illustration below allows you to measure your ring size simply using a ruler.
Place the ruler on your screen and play with your zoom until the 10cm line below actually corresponds to 10cm on your screen.
Place your ring on the virtual ring sizer until the diameter of your ring perfectly matches the inner diameter of one of the rings on the ring sizer. You have found your finger size.
You can also download this ring sizer and print it.
3 - The ribbon method
Necessary tools
- Ribbon or thread
Trick
Wrap the tape or thread around your left ring finger and mark the intersection of the tape. Unroll the tape and measure the distance corresponding to the circumference of your finger, that is, up to the mark established on the intersection.
The distance obtained in millimeters indicates your finger size.
Similar to the ring circumference trick, it is advisable to go up a size if your measurement falls between two sizes. However, this method is often less reliable than the first two.
Finally, if you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to confirm your finger size with a jeweler who will use the triboulet or the physical ring sizer for more precise measurements.
