Have you ever found yourself wondering what your ring size is? Maybe you want to surprise your loved one with a beautiful piece of jewelry, but you’re not sure what size to get. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Measuring Your Ring Size
There are three easy ways to measure your ring size:
1. Use a Ring Sizer
A ring sizer is a small, plastic tool that you can slide onto your finger to determine your ring size. You can usually get one for free at your local jewelry store. Simply slide the sizer onto your finger and adjust until it feels snug but comfortable.
2. Measure With a Piece of String
If you don’t have a ring sizer, you can also use a piece of string:
- Wrap a piece of string around the base of your finger.
- Mark the point where the string overlaps.
- Measure the length of the string from the end to the mark.
- Match the measurement to the chart below to find your ring size.

3. Use an Existing Ring
If you have a ring that already fits your finger well, you can use it to find your ring size:
- Measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters.
- Match the measurement to the chart below to find your ring size.
| Diameter (mm) | US Ring Size | EU Ring Size |
|---|---|---|
| 14.05 | 1.75 | 41 |
| 14.45 | 2.25 | 42 |
| 14.86 | 3 | 44 |
| 15.27 | 3.5 | 46 |
| 15.7 | 4.5 | 48 |
| 16.1 | 5.5 | 50 |
| 16.51 | 6 | 51 |
| 16.92 | 6.5 | 52 |
| 17.35 | 7.5 | 54 |

Why Getting the Right Size Matters
It’s important to get the right size for your ring. If it’s too big, it may fall off or get lost. If it’s too small, it may be uncomfortable to wear and could even cause your finger to swell. Plus, resizing a ring can be costly and time-consuming.
Final Thoughts
Now that you know how to measure your ring size, you can confidently purchase the perfect piece of jewelry for yourself or a loved one. And remember, if you’re ever unsure, you can always visit a jewelry store for assistance or guidance.
