Measure More Than Once
Finger size can change slightly throughout the day. Measure more than once and avoid sizing when your hands are unusually hot, cold, or swollen.

Visit a Local Jeweler
The most accurate method is to have your finger professionally measured using a ring sizing tool. Most local jewelry stores provide this service quickly and often at no charge.

A Few Extra Steps Can Make Sizing More Accurate
Ring sizing is simple, but small details can affect the fit. Taking a little extra time before ordering is especially important for personalized and memorial rings that may have limited resizing options.
Consider Band Width
A wide band can feel more snug than a narrow ring in the same size. If you are between sizes, consider the width and shape of the specific ring before ordering.
Think About the Knuckle
The ring should pass over your knuckle without excessive force while still fitting securely at the base of your finger.
Size the Exact Finger
Measure the finger and hand where the ring will actually be worn. The same finger on your opposite hand may be a different size.

Using the printable guide
Make Sure Your Printer Is Not Scaling the Guide
Print the sizing guide at 100% or Actual Size. Printer scaling can change the ring circles enough to give you an incorrect measurement.
Print at 100% scale
Do not select “Fit to Page” or any automatic scaling option.
The line shown above is designed to represent 2 inches (50.8 mm). When using the downloadable sizing guide, verify its printed calibration mark with a physical ruler before measuring your ring or finger.
