How to Measure Your Ring Size?
You know which ring is the right one for you, but are unsure about the right size? Here is how to measure your ring size.
A perfectly fit ring should not come off easily when you ease it on your finger, it should rather slide smoothly. This is important both for your comfort and to minimize the risk of loss.
- If you already know your ring size, but are not sure how to convert it, you can refer to our ring size conversion chart.
- If you are thinking of popping the question or planning a surprise for someone special, you can refer to our guide on sneaky ways to learn their ring size.
If you would rather measure at home, here are the steps to follow:
Cut a strip of paper or string no wider than 1/2" (1.4 cm).
Wrap it around the very base of your finger that you are planning to wear the ring on.
Use a pen to mark the point where it forms a complete circle and overlaps
Measure the distance up to your mark with a ruler either in inches or millimeters (mm).
5 Consult our ring size chart and pick the closest measurement.
Eternate’s tips for a sound measurement:
- Size of your fingers will change with temperature and throughout the day. They expand in warm weather and shrink in cold. So don’t measure your fingers when you are cold, they are the smallest at this time. Measure your finger at the very end of day in warm temperatures when it is the largest for a more accurate reading.
- Measure your ring size more than once before your purchase.
- Your left hand and right hand are not the same size. So make sure to measure the finger you plan to wear the ring on.
- If your knuckles are larger, take two measurements: one around the knuckle and one where the ring would go. Then choose a size in between. Your ring needs to fit over the knuckle but not be too loose on the finger.
- Consider the width of the ring you are planning to purchase. If it is wide, go for a 0,5 larger size.
- If you are hovering between two sizes, pick the larger one.

At Jewel Nook all rings are comfort fit. Comfort fit refers to the inner wall of the ring where the ring touches your skin. Comfort fit rings have a curved interior which allows the ring to slip on and off your finger and over your knuckle more easily. Whereas a standard fit ring will have a flat interior that fits snugly on your finger, the comfort fit ring will be flush against your skin, giving you the most comfortable wearing experience.
