The Complete Guide to Ring Sizing at Home: Ensuring the Perfect Fit

Finding the perfect ring is an exciting moment, but ensuring it fits just right is equally important. With the convenience of online shopping, getting the correct ring size from the comfort of your home has never been easier. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to accurately size your ring at home, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for your cherished piece of jewelry.

There are many different methods to sizing your ring at home. You can either use an existing ring that fits true to size or you can measure your finger. I will explain methods for both in this article. 

1. Gather Your Supplies

Before you start, gather the necessary supplies:

• A printable ring sizing chart (You can download this one: www.ringsizes.co/sizingtool.pdf )
• A ruler with millimeter measurements.
• A piece of string or narrow strip of paper.
• A pen or marker.
• A pair of scissors.

2. Select the Right Time

Fingers tend to change size throughout the day due to factors like temperature and humidity. To get the most accurate measurement, size your finger in the afternoon or evening when it's likely to be at its largest.

3. Choose the Correct Finger

Select the finger on which you intend to wear the ring. Keep in mind that fingers on your dominant hand might be slightly larger.

4. Measuring Using an Existing Ring

• Print the ring sizing chart ( http://www.ringsizes.co/sizingtool.pdf ). 
• Place your existing ring on the chart, aligning the inner edge of the ring with the circle that matches its size. Make sure the printout is not scaled (check for a "100% Scale" option before printing).
• The circle that matches the inner circumference of your ring will indicate your ring size.
• Alternatively you can do the same process using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.cherrydesign.ringsizer

      5. Measuring your Finger Using a String or Paper:

• Cut a strip of string or paper about 10 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. 
• Wrap the strip around the base of your finger. Make sure it's snug but not tight.
• Mark the point where the strip overlaps with a pen or marker.
• Measure the length from the end of the strip to the marked point in millimeters. This measurement corresponds to your ring size.
• You can also cut out the paper ring sizer in this document: http://www.ringsizes.co/sizingtool.pdf

Use the Chart in the link below to determine your ring size.
In the chart go to the Circumference column, find the distance you measured with the paper in mm. Then look at what US ring size that corresponds to in the US column.

6. Consider Comfort and Style

Remember that the ideal fit should be snug enough to prevent the ring from sliding off but loose enough to comfortably slide over your knuckle. If you're between sizes, it's often better to choose the larger size for comfort.

7. Double-Check with a Local Jeweler

If you're uncertain about your measurements, consider visiting a local jeweler for a professional sizing. They have the expertise and tools to provide an accurate assessment.

Accurately sizing your ring at home is a straightforward process that ensures your jewelry fits comfortably and securely. By following these steps and using reputable resources, you can confidently make your online purchase, knowing that your cherished piece will be a perfect fit. Happy shopping!
