How to find your ring size: Three helpful methods
One of the most common questions I receive is “How do I figure out my ring size?” Rings are particularly difficult for me to sell for this reason, even though I love to make them! Whether you just want to know or need to know for a custom project, a made-to-order ring, or a yucca signet (pre-orders close 10/14/21!), I hope this video and article help you find your ring size.
Before you start, read this:
Method 1 is the preferred way, but sometimes finding time to go to a jewelry store is hard, I get it! Methods 2 and 3 are far less accurate, so I would recommend doing BOTH methods and comparing. If you can’t make it to a jewelry store, these methods should work.
If you use these methods to measure but are still unsure, list your measurements (in millimeters!) in the “additional notes” section at checkout and I can make the ring to your specifications (this applies to made-to-order rings and yucca signets only).
Without further ado, here are three ways to measure your ring size:
METHOD 1:
Get sized by a jeweler.
This is the best, most fool-proof, most accurate way to find your ring size. Go to any jeweler or jewelry store (you know, all the big chains with the radio ads… I shall not list them here!) and they will size you for free!
I always bring my sizer to in-person events and shows, so do not hesitate to ask!
METHOD 2:
Measure the internal diameter (in millimeters) of a ring that fits the desired finger and compare your measurement to the chart at www.sophiekissinjewelry.com/find-your-ring-size
Some helpful tips:
Try to be as accurate as possible with your measurement! Use millimeters. Even one millimeter will make a difference in your ring size.
Make sure you are measuring the true diameter at the widest part of the ring. To put it another way: if you aren’t measuring directly down the center, your measurement will be smaller than the diameter.
If you have the tool, use precision calipers to measure.
METHOD 3:
Measure the circumference of the desired finger and compare your measurement to the chart at www.sophiekissinjewelry.com/find-your-ring-size
Some helpful tips:
Use a string or a strip of paper. The thicker the paper the better (it’s easier to tighten and maneuver around your finger), so I fold my strip in half.
Again, try to be as accurate as possible with your measurement! Use millimeters. Even one millimeter will make a difference in your ring size.
You don’t have to cut the strip like I do in the video if you have adequately marked it.
I hope this helps you find your ring size so you can wear allll the rings.
