Sizing Chart
What You’ll Need:
- A piece of string or a strip of paper (about 6 inches long)
- A ruler
- A pen or marker
- The ring sizing chart below
Steps to Measure Your Finger and Knuckle Size:
1. Measure the Base of Your Finger:
- Wrap the String or Paper Around Your Finger: Take the piece of string or strip of paper and wrap it around the base of the finger you wish to measure. Make sure the string or paper is snug but not too tight, as you want the ring to fit comfortably.
- Mark the Overlap Point: Using a pen or marker, mark the point where the end of the string or paper overlaps with the rest of the material. This marks the circumference of your finger.
- Measure the Length: Lay the string or paper flat and use a ruler to measure the length from the starting end to the marked point. Note this measurement in millimeters (mm).
2. Measure Your Knuckle:
- Wrap the String or Paper Around Your Knuckle: Take the piece of string or strip of paper and wrap it around the widest part of your knuckle.
- Mark the Overlap Point: Using a pen or marker, mark the point where the end of the string or paper overlaps with the rest of the material.
- Measure the Length: Lay the string or paper flat and use a ruler to measure the length from the starting end to the marked point. Note this measurement in millimeters (mm).
3. Determine Your Ring Size:
- Use the Ring Sizing Chart: Compare your measurements (both the base of your finger and your knuckle) to the ring sizing chart below to determine your ring size. Find the circumference measurements on the chart and locate the corresponding ring sizes.
- Choose the Right Size: If your knuckle measurement is significantly larger than the base of your finger, choose a ring size that fits over the knuckle comfortably but is not too loose at the base.

- Measure at the End of the Day: Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest.
- Avoid Cold Measurements: Avoid measuring your fingers when they are cold, as they can be smaller.
