We use the inner diameter in millimeters as a size measurement. This means that if your ring is 17 mm inside, you are size 17.
How to measure at home:
- Measure an existing ring: Take a ruler and measure the inside diameter of a ring you already own that fits well.
- Measure your finger: Use a tape measure around your finger to get the circumference, or visit a local blacksmith for a professional measurement.
- Choose the right finger: Remember to measure the exact finger where the ring will sit.
Important to consider:
It is important to remember that the design of the ring affects how it feels on the finger. The narrower a ring is, the smaller the size you can often have compared to a wider ring that takes up more space on the finger.
Also, be aware that the size of your fingers varies depending on temperature. They should not be too cold or too warm when measuring, as this can give a misleading result. For reference, the most common sizes for women are 18 and 19 mm.
Quick tips for the best fit:
- Match the shape: Use a reference ring that is similar to the one you are going to buy (in width and thickness).
- Measure several times: Feel free to take the measurement at different times during the day to be completely sure.
