Getting the right ring size is crucial. Too loose, and it might slip off; too tight, and it’s a struggle to remove. Here’s a quick, no-fuss guide to finding your perfect fit.
How Should a Ring Fit?
A properly fitting ring should slide over your knuckle with slight resistance and sit snugly on your finger without feeling tight. It should require a gentle pull to remove but not hurt your skin.
Quickest Way to Find Your Ring Size
If you own a well-fitting ring, check the inside for a stamped size. If you don't see one, follow these 5 simple steps.
5 Steps to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
- Grab Supplies: Use a strip of paper or string (no wider than 1.4 cm).
- Wrap Your Finger: Loop it around the base of the finger you’re sizing.
- Mark It: Use a pen to mark where the ends meet.
- Measure It: Lay the paper flat and measure the distance to the mark (in mm).
- Find Your Size: Match your measurement to a ring size chart. If you’re in-between sizes, size up for comfort.
Pro Tips:
- Measure 3 times for accuracy.
- Do it when your fingers are warm, not after exercise or in the cold.
Ring Sizing for Different Finger Types
Wide Fingers, Small Knuckles: Choose a size that fits snugly to avoid slipping.
Large Knuckles, Narrow Fingers: Size up slightly to ensure it slides over the knuckle. Consider sizing beads if your ring spins on the finger.
