How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home (Without the Stress)

How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home (Without the Stress)

Sooo… What’s My Ring Size? (Let’s figure it out together 💍)

We’ve all been there. You’re eyeing up a stunning ring - maybe it’s got a dreamy moonstone, a gleam of silver, or maybe it’s whispering secrets from another realm (okay, maybe that’s just me). You’re ready to click “Add to Cart,” but then… the dreaded dropdown:

Choose Your Size.

Cue existential crisis.

I get it. Ring sizing can feel weirdly intimidating, especially if you’re buying online. And because I hand-make everything with love and starlight (and okay, a few tools), resizing isn’t usually an option once it’s made. So here’s a handy, no-stress, very human guide to figuring out your ring size, without needing a jeweller's degree or a crystal ball.


Option 1: Use a Free App 

There are some actually decent ring sizing apps out there now! Try Ring Sizer by Jason Withers or Ring Sizer - both are free and easy to use. Simply place a ring you already wear on your phone screen and match it to the digital guide, like techy magic.

Pro tip: Make sure you’re using a ring that fits the same finger you’re buying for. (Yes, your index and ring fingers are different sizes. Your body is a temple… of chaos.)


Option 2: Measure an existing ring 

Got a ring that already fits perfectly? You can measure the inner diameter in millimeters and match it to my online size chart. No ring sizer? No problem, just grab a ruler.

Here’s an example for you: If your ring’s inner diameter is 17.2mm, that’s a UK size N (or US size 6.75-ish). Roughly. Like with jeans, different brands can fit a little differently, but this will get you close.


Option 3: The paper/thread trick 

Low-tech and surprisingly accurate if you’re careful.

  1. Cut a thin strip of paper or grab a piece of string.
  2. Wrap it snugly (but not too tightly!) around the base of the finger
  3. Mark where it overlaps.
  4. Measure the length in mm.
  5. Look up a sizing chart and boom - size found!

Beware: String can stretch and paper can bend, so don’t yank it too tight. If it feels like you’re tying a spell circle around your finger, ease up.


Option 4: Pop into a Jeweller 

Yes, the old-school option. If you’re out and about and see a jewellery shop, they’ll often measure your size for free. You can also ask at local markets or craft fairs; small business owners tend to look out for each other. 


Option 5: Grab a Free ring sizer (Yep, really)

A few final tips from your jewelry witch

  • Your fingers swell and shrink depending on the time of day, weather, salt intake, and general cosmic vibes. Measure at room temp when you’re relaxed.
  • If you’re between sizes, go up, not down. Comfy is cute.
  • Thinking of stacking rings? Measure for the base ring and size up slightly for any stackers above it.


TL;DR:

You’ve got options for finding your ring size:

  • Phone app
  • Old ring + ruler
  • Paper trick
  • Pop to a jeweller
  • Order a sizer from me

No panic, no guesswork, just you and a future ring, vibing.
