How to Measure Your Ring Size - Millie Savage Jewellery

Determining the correct ring size can be a fickle job, but thankfully there are a few different ways to easily find your perfect ring size for every finger (because each one is a little different, kinda like our OOBs!)

If you've ever been jewellery shopping online and didn't know what ring size to choose, this guide will show you the fastest and easiest ways to measure your fingers at home - all you need is a ring and a ruler.

METHOD 1: MEASURE A RING

This method will be the quickest way to find your ring size using a ring you already own and wear.

Step 1: Choose a ring that fits comfortable on the finger you plan on wearing your new ring on.

Step 2: Using a ruler, measure the internal diameter of the ring in millimetres (mm) by laying your ring on top of the ruler. You're only looking for the measurement of the inside of the ring here, so place the inner edge at 0 and count from there.

Step 3: Using our Ring Size Chart to convert your diameter measurement into the correct size.


COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

Measuring a ring size is easy but it's just as easy to mess up - the smallest error can change your measurement by half a size or more! Here are some of the most common mistakes to look out for and avoid:


1. Measuring when your fingers are cold

Fingers will shrink in the cold, so it's always best to measure your fingers when the temperature is moderate. Afternoon and evening tend to offer the most accurate results because your body has been moving for longer.

2. Ignoring band width

Wide bands often have a snug fit compared to thin bands, so you may need to size up slightly.

3. Measuring only once

No one gets it right the first time: finger sizes can change due to lifestyle and health changes, and sometimes poor lighting or an unsteady hand can affect how accurately you measure. Take two or three measurements and check for consistency.
