Sizing your Ring Finger

July 8, 2009

Sizing your ring finger correctly is key to a happy relationship between you and your new work of art. A ring that doesn’t fit correctly is more likely to fall off or simply be a constant nuisance. Take the time to do it correctly with the tips below:

• Find a piece of string or strip of paper no wider than 3/4 inch. Wrap it around the base of the appropriate ring finger. Use a pen to mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle. With a ruler with millimeters (mm), measure the length from the starting end of the string/paper to the pen mark. This is your ring size in millimeters. Now use the chart below to determine your ring size.

Ring Size (USA)	Measured Size (mm)
3	44.1
3.5	45.4
4	46.7
4.5	48.0
5	49.2
5.5	50.5
6	51.8
6.5	53.1
7	54.3
7.5	55.6
8	56.9
8.5	58.2
9	59.4
9.5	60.7
10	62.0
10.5	63.3
11	64.5
11.5	65.8
12	67.1
12.5	68.3

Some more tips?

• 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 finger size.
• Borrow one of your partners rings and slide it down a tapered candle. Then measure according to the chart above.
