How to Measure Your Ring Size

There are several methods to measure your ring size at home. For the most accurate result, always measure your finger at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest, and check multiple times.

Pro tip: Your ring finger size can vary by up to half a size throughout the day due to temperature and activity. Fingers tend to swell slightly in heat and shrink in cold. Always measure when your hands are at a normal temperature — not too hot or cold.
01

The Paper Strip Method

The most popular at-home method. All you need is a strip of paper, a pen, and a ruler.

1
Cut a thin strip of paper, about 10mm wide and 100mm long
2
Wrap the strip snugly around the base of your ring finger — make sure it slides over your knuckle
3
Mark where the paper overlaps with a pen or pencil
4
Lay the paper flat and measure the length from the start to the mark in millimetres
5
Use the circumference column in our chart below to find your size
02

The String Method

Similar to the paper method but uses a piece of string or dental floss, which can wrap more closely around the finger.

1
Take a thin, non-stretchy string or a piece of dental floss
2
Wrap it around the base of your ring finger, ensuring it fits over your knuckle
3
Mark or cut where the string meets itself
4
Measure the length of string against a ruler in mm
5
Compare to the circumference in the ring size chart below
03

Measure an Existing Ring

If you already own a ring that fits the correct finger, you can measure it directly.

1
Place the ring flat on a ruler or measuring tape
2
Measure the inside diameter — across the widest part of the inside of the ring
3
Record the measurement in millimetres
4
Find that diameter in the ring size chart to discover your US, UK, or EU size
04

Printable Ring Sizer

Print our ring sizer template at actual size (100% scale — do not scale to fit) for the most accurate at-home measurement.

1
Print this page at 100% scale (ensure "fit to page" is disabled)
2
Verify accuracy by checking that the 1cm scale bar equals exactly 1cm on your printout
3
Hold existing rings over the circles below to match the inside diameter
4
Alternatively, cut out the strip and wrap around your finger

Band width matters:

For rings wider than 6mm, consider going half a size up — wider bands feel tighter on the finger.

Remember: For the most accurate result, measure your finger 2–3 times at different times of day. If between sizes, choose the larger size. Visit a local jeweller for professional sizing.

Ring Sizes by Country

Different countries use different ring sizing systems. Here's what you need to know about each major system.

🇺🇸
United States & Canada
Numerical system with half sizes
Range: Size 3 – 13 (and beyond)
Average women's: 6–7 · Average men's: 10–11
🇬🇧
UK, Ireland & Australia
Alphabetical letters (A–Z and beyond)
Range: A – Z+6
Average women's: L–N · Average men's: S–U
🇪🇺
Europe (EU/French/German)
Based on inner circumference in mm
Range: 44 – 70+
Average women's: 50–54 · Average men's: 60–66
🇯🇵
Japan & China
Numerical, close to EU but offset
Range: 1 – 30+
Average women's: 9–13 · Average men's: 18–22
🇨🇭
Switzerland
Numerical based on inner diameter
Range: 0 – 30 (diameter – 40)
Diameter minus 40 gives Swiss size

Tips for Accurate Sizing

Getting your ring size right avoids costly resizing. Follow these expert tips for the best result.

🕐

Best Time to Measure

Measure your finger at the end of the day, when it is at its largest size. Fingers swell slightly during the day due to activity and warmth. Avoid measuring in the morning or when you've just woken up.

🌡️

Temperature Matters

Cold temperatures cause fingers to shrink — measuring in winter or in an air-conditioned room can give a smaller reading. Warm your hands to room temperature before measuring for the most consistent result.

📐

Knuckle vs. Base

Your ring must pass over your knuckle to reach the base of your finger. If your knuckle is noticeably larger, measure both and choose a size between the two — this ensures the ring fits over the knuckle but doesn't spin freely at the base.

💍

Width Consideration

Wider bands (over 6mm) feel significantly tighter than slim bands of the same size. If you're buying a wide band, go half a size to a full size up from your normal ring size to ensure comfort.

🔁

Measure Multiple Times

Take three measurements on different days and at different times. If readings vary, use the largest measurement — it's far easier to adjust a slightly loose ring (with ring sizers or jeweller sizing) than one that's too tight.

💎

Dominant Hand Sizing

Your dominant hand is typically slightly larger than your non-dominant hand. If you plan to wear the ring on your right hand (common in many European countries), measure that hand specifically rather than assuming symmetry.

🤰

Pregnancy & Health Changes

Pregnancy, weight changes, and certain medications can significantly affect ring size. If you're pregnant, wait until after birth before buying new rings. Engagement rings can always be professionally resized later.

🔧

When in Doubt, Size Up

If you're between two sizes, always choose the larger one. A ring that's slightly too large can be easily fixed with inexpensive ring sizers, guards, or a simple jeweller visit. A ring that's too small may be uncomfortable or even impossible to remove.

🏪

Professional Sizing

For important purchases — especially engagement rings and wedding bands — visit a local jeweller for professional sizing. It's free, takes under a minute, and gives you complete confidence in your measurement.

Printable Ring Sizer

Print this page at 100% scale (do not scale to fit) and use these reference circles to identify your ring size visually.

Before printing: Make sure your print settings are set to 100% scale (Actual Size). Do not select "Fit to Page" or "Scale to Fit". After printing, verify accuracy by measuring the scale bar — it should be exactly 10mm.

Place an existing ring that fits correctly over the circles below. The circle where the inside edge of your ring aligns most closely indicates your diameter and therefore your ring size.

Alternatively, cut out the measurement strip and wrap it around your finger in the same way as the paper strip method.
