How to Choose Your Ring Size | Your Jewelry Brand

How to Choose Your Ring Size

Selecting the correct ring size ensures comfort and security. Follow these steps to find the perfect fit:

  • Measure Your Finger: Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string to wrap around your finger. Mark where it overlaps, measure the length, and compare it to a ring size chart.
  • Use an Existing Ring: If you have a ring that fits well, measure its diameter and compare it to a size guide.
  • Account for Knuckles: If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, choose a slightly larger size to allow the ring to slide on comfortably.
  • Consider Seasonal Changes: Fingers can swell in warmer weather and shrink in colder temperatures, so measure when your hands are at a normal temperature.
  • Get Professionally Sized: For the most accurate results, visit a jeweler who can professionally measure your finger size.
