.A ruler or caliper (in mm).

| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Place the ring on a flat surface. |
| 2 | Measure the inside diameter in millimeters (not the outside). |
| 3 | Match this measurement to the chart above. |
👉 This is the most reliable method.
📏 METHOD 2 – MEASURE YOUR FINGER
What You'll Need:
-
A piece of string, a strip of paper, or a flexible measuring tape.
-
A ruler.
Steps:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wrap the string or paper snugly around the base of the finger. |
| 2 | Mark the point where the ends meet. |
| 3 | Measure the length in millimeters (this is your circumference). |
| 4 | Find the closest circumference in the chart above. |
⚠️ Tip: Do not pull too tight – the band should slide over your knuckle.
🧠 IMPORTANT TIPS
| Tip | Why |
|---|---|
| Measure at the end of the day | Fingers are slightly larger in the evening. |
| Avoid measuring cold fingers | Cold temperatures shrink fingers. |
| Consider your knuckle | If your knuckle is much larger, choose a larger size. |
| When in doubt, size up | A slightly larger ring can be resized down; a too-small ring cannot be enlarged as easily. |
