We have put together a few guidelines for getting your ring size right:
Make sure that the fit of the ring is comfortable for you. You should be able to get it on and off easily, but at the same time it should not be loose while on your finger.
Remember also that your ring size could change depending on your body temperature and the time of day. Your fingers will be slightly larger when you are warm or in the middle of the day.
If you are trying to get a ring size without using a ring size chart then avoid using flexible materials like paper or string as your result may be inaccurate.
These are common ring sizes to give you a general idea of whether you have found the right size:
- Small – K
- Medium – M
- Large – O
When buying a ring as a gift:As with measuring your own ring size, it will be easiest to find out someone else’s by using one of their existing rings. So if you can, borrow a ring from the recipient, one that they wear on the right finger for your gift and use that to determine their size.
Alternatively you could try asking their friends and relatives whether they know the person’s ring size.
