How to Find Your Ring Size at Home: Easy Methods Explained

How to Measure your Ring Size at Home

Welcome to Sansom Reed, your go-to destination for sustainable and stylish clothing and accessories.

Today, we’re diving into an often overlooked but crucial aspect of jewellery shopping: ring sizing. A well-fitted ring not only enhances comfort but also ensures your new piece of jewellery shines the way it was meant to.

Let’s explore different methods to get your ring size just right, including a handy hack using items you already have at home.

Why Accurate Ring Sizing Matters

Whether it’s a statement piece or a minimalist band, the right fit ensures that your ring sits comfortably and securely on your finger. Rings that are too tight can cause discomfort and circulation issues, while those that are too loose are at risk of slipping off and getting lost. Given our commitment to sustainability, ensuring the perfect fit also means fewer exchanges and returns, reducing our carbon footprint.

Method 1: Measuring an Existing Ring

If you already have a ring that fits perfectly, you can use it to determine your size. This method is quick and straightforward.

Steps:

1. Find a ring that fits the finger you want to size.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters using a ruler.
3. Compare the measurement to a ring size chart to determine your size.

We have created our own ring chart to make things easier! To find the circumference from the diameter you have measured on your ruler - multiply the diameter by 3.14 and that should be the circumference.

Method 3: The Ribbon and Ruler Hack

For a quick and easy method using items you likely have at home, try this ribbon and ruler hack. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way to measure your ring size.

Steps:

1. Cut a piece of ribbon or string about 6 inches long.
2. Wrap the ribbon around the base of your finger, ensuring it’s snug but not too tight.
3. Mark the point where the ribbon overlaps with a pen.
4. Lay the ribbon flat and measure the length from the end to the mark with a ruler, in millimeters.
5. Use a ring size chart to convert the measurement to your ring size.

Example:

If the length of the ribbon is 54 millimeters, you would refer to a ring size chart to find that this corresponds to a UK size N or a US size 7.

Tips for Accurate Measurement

• Measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s at its largest.
• Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as they can be smaller at lower temperatures.
• Consider the width of the ring. Wider bands may require a slightly larger size for comfort.
