There are a few easy ways to measure a finger for ring size. Keep these expert tips in mind to make sure you’re getting the most accurate size possible:

1. Consider your knuckle. If your knuckle is bigger than the base of your finger, measure both places and pick a size in between the two.
2. Confirm accuracy with multiple measures. Finger size changes depending on the time of day and the weather. Your fingers are smaller in the early morning and cold weather, so it’s best to measure your size when your fingers are warm at the end of the day. Measure three to four separate times to find the most accurate size.
3. Remember that the fingers on your dominant hand are usually larger. Measure the finger you intend to wear the ring on.

Now you are ready to get started. Here are the two most common ways to measure your ring size at home.

OPTION 1: STRING OR FLOSS

• Take a piece of string or floss and wrap it around the base of your finger. Mark where the string or floss first overlaps with a pen. Then, line that up with a ruler and take down its length in millimeters. Keep in mind that some string and floss will stretch if pulled taut. Keep the string or floss loose, but flush against your skin to get an accurate measurement.

OPTION 2: USE PAPER

• Cut a strip of paper no wider than ¾ of an inch. Wrap the paper around the base of your finger. Mark where the paper first overlaps with a pen. Then, line the paper up with a ruler and take down its length in millimeters. Although this process is virtually the same as using string or floss, paper will not stretch, reducing the chance of an incorrect measurement.

OPTION 3: MEASURE YOUR OWN RING

• Choose a band ring that properly fits the intended finger.
  

Now that you have your length, you are ready to determine your ring size. Find the closest corresponding ring size to your measurement in the chart below. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size. Once you find your ring size, you’re ready to shop!
