Determine ring size
Find your perfect ring size
A ring feels best when it fits just right. Not too tight, but not too loose either.
By measuring your ring size beforehand, you can be sure that your ring will be comfortable and fit beautifully around your finger.
This way, you can choose your favorite ring with peace of mind. For yourself, or as a lovely gift for someone you want to surprise.
Method 1
Measure your ring size with an existing ring
Do you already have a ring that fits well on the finger you want to wear a new ring on? Then this is the easiest way to determine your ring size.
How to measure the diameter of a ring
- Place the ring on a flat surface.
- Place a ruler over the ring.
- Measure the inner diameter of the ring from inner edge to inner edge.
- Read the measurement in millimeters.
The number of millimeters you measure is your ring size. So, do you measure 17 mm?
Then you have ring size 17.
Make sure you are measuring the inside of the ring and not the outer edge.
Method 2
Measure your ring size with a piece of string
Don't have a ring that fits well? Then you can also measure your ring size with a thin piece of string, twine, or a strip of paper.
How to measure the circumference of your finger
- Wrap a thin piece of string or paper around your finger.
- Make sure it fits nicely but is not too tight.
- Mark where the string meets.
- Measure the length with a ruler in millimeters.
This is the circumference of your finger. In the table below, you can see which ring size corresponds to this.
Ring size table
Use the table below to convert your measured diameter or circumference to the correct ring size.
Are you using method 1 (measuring a ring)?
Then look at the diameter column.
Are you using method 2 (string)?
Then look at the circumference column.
Average ring size
Sometimes you want a quick indication before you start measuring.
The average ring size for women is usually around size 16 or 17.
For men, the average ring size is often around size 20 or 21. This is just a guideline.
The exact size can, of course, vary from person to person, so measuring always remains the most reliable method.
Helpful tips for measuring your ring size
A few small tips can help you determine your ring size even more accurately.
Always measure the correct finger
Every finger can have a different ring size. So always measure the finger you want to wear the ring on.
Measure at room temperature
Your fingers can be slightly thicker when it is warm and slightly thinner when it is cold.
Are you torn between two sizes?
Then usually choose the larger size for more comfort.
Keep wide rings in mind
Wide or chunky rings sometimes fit a little tighter. In that case, one size larger may fit more comfortably.
Giving a ring as a gift?
Do you want to surprise someone with a ring but don't know the exact ring size? Then an adjustable ring can be a great solution.
This way, you can easily give a beautiful ring as a gift without worrying about the size.
A small gift that fits well makes wearing it even more enjoyable.
