Whether it's an illustrious piece, or one that lends a graceful fluidity, most people enjoy wearing rings. It is amazing to know how many people deter from purchasing a ring online, simply because they do not have the opportunity to fit it first. Only if they knew their ring size, or how to measure it.
Thus, I thought I would give a little insight as to how to do that. This can easily be done, by utilizing a strip of paper. Ensure that the paper falls below the joint of your finger, and as close as possible to your knuckle. Then wrap the paper as firmly as you can around your finger.
Once you've properly completed these steps, mark the spot where the paper meets, after which you will measure the distance using your ruler.
As a reference point the following size applies.
Size 4: 1 13/16 inches Size 5: 1 15/16 inches Size 6: 2 1/16 inches Size 7: 2 1/8 inches Size 8: 2 1/4 inches Size 9: 2 5/16 inches Size 10: 2 7/16 inches Size 11: 2 9/16 inches Size 12: 2 5/8 inches Size 13: 2 3/4 inches Size 14: 2 7/8 inches.
In the event you are still not confident, another alternative is to print a sizable ring chart, and use a ring that fits, to place over the circle that is closest in size. And the end results will certainly be one you will be proud of.
An important and final factor to keep in mind, is that it is best to measure your finger later in the day. Given that our fingers tend to swell. Thus, for an accurate measurement it's best to wait until later in the day.
Good luck, relax and enjoy the process.
Measuring your ring size is easier than you think
