Getting the size right matters, especially for a made-to-order ring. Here are simple ways to find a ring size at home, along with tips for getting an accurate result.
Method 1: Measure a ring that already fits
- Choose a ring that fits the intended finger comfortably.
- Lay it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter in millimetres, from edge to edge at the widest point.
- Compare your measurement with the chart below.
Method 2: Measure the finger
- Wrap a thin strip of non-stretchy paper around the base of the finger.
- Mark where the paper meets, then measure that length in millimetres. This is the circumference.
- Divide by 3.14 to get the diameter, then check the chart below.
This method is less exact than measuring a ring, because paper can sit too tight or too loose. For the most reliable result, have the finger measured at a local jeweller.

Tips for an accurate result
- Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are at their usual largest size.
- Avoid measuring when your hands are very cold or very warm.
- Make sure the ring can slide over the knuckle.
- Measure more than once and compare the results.
