Measure the ring size: our useful tips

If you still have some doubts about the correct ring size, choose the larger one.

To make sure you determine the right size you can also order our fitting rings. Those fitting rings, or ring kits, contain plastic rings in the sizes 15 - 22mm. With these fitting rings you know for sure that the ring is going to have the right size. Because after the ring has been ordered, it can no longer be exchanged because it is personalized for you.

Please note that the fingers on the right and left hand can measure different widths. Therefore, measure the ring size on the hand on which you want to wear the ring.

Also the finger width can frequently change. In winter, for example, the fingers are usually thinner than in summer, which is due to the temperature. In addition, the fingers can be thinner in the morning than in the evening.

How to measure the ring size at home

You want to measure your ring size at home and you don’t have a ring that you can use? To find the ring size without a ring, cut out a paper strip from a DIN A4. It should be about 10cm long and 5mm wide. Now wrap the paper strip around the finger and tighten it so that it can still be turned easily on the finger. Then mark the two endings. After that you can use a ruler to mark and then measure the two marked endings. Now read the circumference in millimeters from the markings. If, for example, you read 52 mm, then your ring size is 52/16.5. You can finally find this value on the ring size table.
