First aid for determining ring size
Knowing what ring size you need can be a little tricky. Therefore, many of our rings are adjustable or open rings. However, this does not apply to everyone, so here are tips on how to find out what ring size you have.
First of all, all our ring sizes are measured according to the size of the ring inner diameter.
Here below you will get some guidance on how to find out which size you need:
Do this if you have another ring that fits the finger you want to wear the new ring on.
- Pick out a ruler or caliper, it is important that it has a measuring scale in millimeters.
- Place the ring you want to measure on a flat surface, e.g. a table, and measure the diameter of the widest part of the ring.
- Read the measurement on the inner edges of the ring in millimeters. This is the size you should choose. In this case it was ring size 17.5 looks like 18 mm in the picture but when you look closer it is 17.5 mm ie size 17.5.
Do this if you don't have a ring that fits. It is, however a little more complicated and a little more uncertain.
- Take forward
– A4 paper
– pen
– scissors
– tape
– 20 cm ruler with millimeter scale - Cut a strip on the long side of the A4 paper that is 0.5 cm wide.
- Tape the paper strip to the inside of the finger.
- Wrap the strip of paper three times around your finger. Draw a pencil line where the top strip of paper meets the bottom.
- Lay out flat and measure against the ruler. Read the measurement in mm between the beginning of the paper strip and your pencil line, divide the measurement by three, you now have the circumference of your finger. Divide this measurement by 3.14 to get the ring size.
