How do I find my ring size at home?

Finding the perfect ring, whether it's an engagement ring or a beautiful ring from Robinson's Jewelers, is a joyous occasion. However, determining the right size can be a challenge, especially when shopping online. Fear not! We're here to guide you through the process of measuring your ring size at home with ease and precision.

While various ring size scales exist globally, the North American scale, commonly adopted by many, is derived from the inner circumference or diameter of the ring. Let's delve into some methods to ascertain both.

Finding Your Ring Diameter

If you already possess a ring that snugly fits the intended finger, determining its size is straightforward. Simply measure straight across the inside of the ring from one edge to the other using a ruler. Then, refer to a size chart guide, matching the "Ring Diameter (mm)" column to find the appropriate ring size.

Measuring Finger Circumference

For those with a ring sizing tool, the process is a breeze. Decide which finger the ring is intended for, as each finger can differ in size. Push the end of the sizer through the 'buckle', forming a ring shape, and slide it onto the desired finger. Adjust for comfort, ensuring it's not too loose. The size indicated by the arrow is your ring size.

Without a sizer, you can still determine your ring size using household items like string, dental floss, or a strip of paper, combined with a ruler. Wrap the string or paper snugly around the intended finger, marking where it meets. Straighten and measure it in millimeters against a ruler. Match this measurement to a ring size chart to find your size.

Additional Tips and Considerations

When uncertain, it's advisable to size up. Factors like temperature, diet, and even the time of day can affect finger size. If you're considering a surprise engagement ring, many engagement rings can be exchanged or resized within a specific timeframe. So, err on the side of caution and opt for a slightly larger size.

The ideal ring should fit snugly yet comfortably. It should be easy to put on and take off, without being too tight or too loose. If you're constantly aware of the ring or feel discomfort, it might be too tight. On the other hand, if the ring easily slips off, it's too large.

Remember, the average ring size for women is a U.S. size 6, corresponding to a 51.3 mm inner circumference. However, sizes can vary based on the brand and the specific finger the ring is intended for.

Lastly, ring sizes can change over time due to factors like age, weight fluctuations, and even climate. It's always a good idea to periodically check your ring size, especially before making a significant purchase.
