A beautifully crafted ring should feel as natural as it looks, comfortable on the finger while complementing your personal style.
Whether you're selecting your first handcrafted ring or adding another piece to your collection, knowing your ring size helps ensure a fit you'll enjoy wearing for years to come.
Use the guide below as a visual reference, then explore the simple methods that can help you find the ring size that feels just right for you.
Measuring Your Ring Size
Finding your ring size at home can be simple with a few basic tools.
If you have access to a printable ring sizer, that provides one convenient option. If not, a piece of string or a narrow strip of paper and a ruler can help you determine your measurement.
For the most accurate results, measure the finger where you plan to wear the ring.
Option One: Use a Printable Ring Sizer
If you're using the printable sizer provided with this guide:
Print at 100% Scale
Make sure your printer is set to 100% scale rather than "Fit to Page" or another resizing option.
After printing, verify the sizer's measurement before using it. The printed guide should measure exactly 3⅜ inches from left to right.
Cut Out the Sizer
Carefully cut along the outline of the ring sizer.
Wrap Around Your Finger
Insert the pointed end through the slit beside the arrow labeled "Read Size Here."
Slide the sizer onto your finger and adjust it until it feels snug but comfortable.
Read Your Size
Your ring size will appear where the arrow points.
Option Two: Use String or Paper
Don't have a printer? A simple piece of string or a narrow strip of paper can work just as well as a starting point.
Wrap
Wrap the string or paper around the base of the finger where you plan to wear the ring.
Mark
Mark the point where the ends meet.
Measure
Lay the string or paper flat against a ruler and measure the length in inches or millimeters.
Compare
Use the appropriate ring-size chart to compare your measurement with a corresponding ring size. If you're unsure between measurements, consulting a jeweler can provide additional guidance.
A Few Things to Consider
Finding the right size isn't only about the measurement. The way a ring feels can also be influenced by when and how you measure.
- Measure toward the end of the day, when fingers may be slightly larger.
- Avoid measuring cold fingers, as they may be temporarily smaller.
- Measure more than once to help confirm your result.
- Consider the width of the ring. Wider bands may feel more snug than narrower styles.
- If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for greater comfort.
Finding Your Ideal Fit
Every collector has a different preference.
Some prefer a ring that feels secure and close to the finger, while others enjoy a little more room for movement. The perfect fit should feel comfortable enough for everyday wear while remaining secure on the finger.
When selecting a handcrafted ring, the design itself can also influence how the piece feels once worn. A delicate band and a wider statement design may have a different feel even when they share the same size.
A Thoughtful Note
Every finger is unique, and finding the right ring size is part of creating a piece you'll truly enjoy wearing.
While an at-home measurement provides a helpful starting point, personal preference, finger shape, and the design of the ring can all influence the final fit.
