How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home | Complete Guide

Finding the right ring size is essential for comfort, longevity and a perfect fit.
The good news? You can measure your ring size easily at home — no special tools needed.

1. The string or ribbon method

This classic method is simple and reliable.

How to do it:

1. Wrap a thin piece of string, ribbon or paper around the base of your finger.

2. Mark the exact point where it overlaps.

3. Measure the length in millimeters using a ruler.

4. Match the number to a ring size chart (e.g., EU 52, 54, 56).

This method works best when the string is snug but not tight.

2. Measure a ring you already own

If you have a ring that fits you perfectly, this is the most accurate method.

Steps:

1. Place the ring on a ruler.

2. Measure the inner diameter in millimeters.

3. Compare it with a standard ring size chart.

Example:

• 16.5 mm → EU 52

• 17.2 mm → EU 54

• 18.1 mm → EU 57

3. Tips for a perfect measurement

Measure at the right time of day

Fingers tend to be slightly larger in the evening.
Avoid measuring in the early morning or after exposure to cold.

Consider ring width

Wide rings require a slightly larger size for comfort.

Repeat the process

Take at least two measurements to ensure accuracy.
