Finding your Ring Size:
-
Find a piece of string or strip of paper no wider than 3/4".
-
Wrap it around the base of the appropriate finger.
-
Use a pen to mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle.
-
With a ruler, measure the length from the starting end of the string/paper to the pen mark.
-
Use this measurement and the chart to the right to determine your ring size.
-
Don't measure cold fingers, as this is when fingers are their smallest.
-
For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is the largest.
If you're buying the ring as a surprise
-
Ask your partner's mother or a friend if they know the size.
-
Borrow one of your partner's rings and slide it down a tapered candle. Then measure it using the chart below
