How To Measure Ring Size

In this video, I will show you how to measure your ring size. What you will need is a ring sizer. There are two different types of ring sizing.

You have an American sizing system and you have a British sizing system. I have a British sizing system which uses the letters of the alphabet and the American sizing system uses numbers. Most jewellers will have a ring sizer and you choose one that you think might be the correct size for your finger.

When you are measuring your ring size, try to measure it on a day when your fingers are not swollen, so on a cool day because during the summer, you will find that your ring size is a size bigger and in the winter, that ring might slip out. You find the correct one by trying all the different sizes and when you find the correct one, it should fit snugly so I should slip on with a little bit of difficulty coming off. It must sit comfortably on your finger.

To measure your ring size, there are two ways of doing it. One way is you can buy the little plastic measuring device. It attaches there and you put it around your finger and pull tightly.

If you're using this method, you need to measure the thickest part of your finger. For some people, that might be the knuckle, but for others, it might be this section. And again, the same method applies.

You pull it tightly around the thickest part of your finger and slip it on. For me, it's my knuckle and that feels pretty comfortable and that is a size J. If you were making your own ring, you could do this method to find your ring size, so I am a size J.

You could use a ruler and now, measure size J. The length of size J is 5.5 cm.

If you don't have a plastic tool, you can use a strip of paper. Take the paper and wrap it around your finger where the paper meets the end, there, and you measure and it's the same length, 5.5 cm.

What I would recommend is to put a line there immediately where you measured your ring size and write the size down. Often, people will end up using the wrong length of the paper, so you know that this is the length of your finger. And that is how you measure your ring size.
