We've used these sizes to help thousands of happy customers pick the right size for their husbands, wifes, family members and bride or grooms to be!
Prepping for Measurement
Before you begin taking your measurements, pick the finger on which you want to wear your ring. The fingers on your dominant hand tend to be larger than those on your non-dominant hand, so keep that in mind when measuring for your ring size.
Ensure that your finger is at its normal size before taking a measurement. Cold weather can cause your fingers to shrink a bit, while heat or water retention caused by food, medications, or illness can cause finger swelling.
How Do I Measure My Finger for a Ring?
If you have access to a printer, we highly recommend using our printable ring sizer, as it is the surest way to get an accurate measurement. If you do not have access to a printer, you can use either a string or a strip of paper to measure your finger or a ring you already own. See the charts below for further instructions on these sizing methods.

- Measure the inside of another ring that fits using a tape measure and our printable ring sizer.
- The ring should fit your finger comfortably: snug enough so it won't fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with relative ease.
- When the knuckle is bigger than the base of the finger, measure both places and pick a size in between the two.
- Measure your ring size at the end of the day when your fingers are warm. Finger size changes depending on the time of day and the weather, and your fingers are actually smaller in the early morning and in cold weather. Also, keep in mind that fingers on your dominant hand are usually larger.
- Measure 3 to 4 times for more accuracy.
