How to measure your ring size?
When you want to buy a finger ring, it can be difficult to know what size to use. Fortunately, you can measure your ring size at home with the two methods described here.
The first method is good when shopping for yourself, but is unsure of which ring size you use.
The other method can both Used for one's self, but also if you want to buy a finger ring as a gift for another.
Pay attention to this when you need to measure your ring size:
Ring size can vary from right to left hand as we have slightly more muscles in the hand we use most.
Heat and cold can also affect which ring size you use, so be sure to measure your ring size when you have neither very hot nor very cold hands.
Pregnants often have slightly swollen fingers, although not necessarily noticed.
A very narrow and/or rounded ring rail may require you to go down a ring size.
A wide and straight ring rail may require you to have a ring size up.
Ring sizes are typically between 49 and 65 millimeters for adults.
Method 1 - Target the finger
You will need a thin strip of paper or a piece of gift ribbon, an ink and a ruler.
The paper strip is wrapped around the knee of the finger you would like the ring on. Do not tighten the strip unnecessarily, but which you imagine the ring should feel when it has to go over your knot. Mark with the ink where the strip crosses itself. Measure the piece with a ruler. The number of millimeter strip measures corresponds to a ring size. For example, if the strip measures 54 millimeters, the ring size of the finger is size 54. Do the experiment a few times, to be absolutely sure you have measured correctly.
Method 2 - Measure a Ring
Measure the inner diameter in a ring. A ruler can be used, but it will be more accurate with a slider if you have one. Once you have found the target of the interior diameter of millimeters, you can find out which ring size it equals.
