How to Find Out Ring Size for Yourself or Your Partner

Finding the perfect ring size is essential when purchasing an engagement ring, whether it’s for yourself or a loved one. A well-fitted ring should be comfortable, snug enough to stay on but loose enough to slide over the knuckle with ease. If you're looking for ways to determine ring size accurately, here are some helpful tips and methods to guide you.

1. Measure an Existing Ring

If your partner already wears a ring on the intended finger, you can use it to determine the correct size.

  • Use a Ring Sizer Tool: Place the ring on a ring sizer or take it to a jeweler for precise measurement.
  • Use a Printable Ring Size Chart: Print a ring size guide and match the inner diameter of the ring to the closest size on the chart.

2. Use a String or Strip of Paper

For a quick at-home method, you can measure the circumference of the finger using string or paper.

  • Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of the finger.
  • Mark where the ends meet and measure the length with a ruler.
  • Compare the measurement to a ring size chart to find the corresponding size.

3. Secretly Borrow a Ring

If you're planning a surprise proposal or gift, discreetly borrow one of your partner’s rings (preferably one worn on the same finger) and take it to a jeweler for sizing.

4. Use a Ring Sizing App

Several mobile apps are available that allow you to determine ring size by placing an existing ring on the phone screen and adjusting the on-screen guide.

5. Visit a Jeweller

For the most accurate measurement, visit a professional jeweller store or order a ring sizer from us. We have ring sizers that can quickly and precisely determine the perfect fit.

6. Consider Temperature and Time of Day

Finger size can fluctuate due to temperature, humidity, and time of day. Measure fingers when they are at a normal temperature, typically in the evening, to get the most accurate size.

7. Size Up for Wider Bands

If you’re choosing a ring with a thicker band, consider going up half a size for a comfortable fit.

Final Tips

  • If in doubt, opt for a slightly larger size, as resizing a ring down is easier than enlarging it.
  • Always confirm sizing with a jeweller before making a significant purchase.
  • Keep the surprise intact by enlisting the help of friends or family to subtly find out your partner’s ring size.
  • The average ring size for young Asian women is US size 6.

By using these simple methods, you can confidently choose the perfect ring size for yourself or your partner and ensure a comfortable and elegant fit.
