How to measure your ring size?
Measuring ring sizes and converting between international ring sizes involves a few steps.
Measuring Ring Sizes:
Method 1: Using a Strip of Paper or String
1. Cut a Strip: Cut a strip of paper or use a piece of string.
2. Wrap Around Finger: Wrap it around the base of the finger you want to measure. Make sure it's snug but not too tight.
3. Mark and Measure: Mark the point where the paper or string overlaps. Measure the length from the start to the mark using a ruler. This gives you the circumference of your finger.
4. Locate Your Size: Use the ring size table to convert the circumference to a ring size in your country's system.
Method 2: Using a Ring Sizer
1. Ring Sizer Tool: You can purchase a ring sizer tool online or at a jewelry store. It's a set of plastic or metal rings in different sizes.
2. Try Different Sizes: Place the sizer on your finger and find the one that fits comfortably. It should slide on easily but resist a bit when coming off.
Tips:
- Measure your finger at the end of the day when it's likely to be largest.
- Avoid measuring when your fingers are cold, as they will be smaller.
- Measure the exact finger on which the ring will be worn. Dominant hands are usually larger.
- If you're between sizes, go for the larger size.
By following these steps, you can accurately measure your ring size and convert between international ring sizes.
