How Do I Determine My Ring Size?

Measuring Your Finger

How to measure your ring size in mm
1. Use a strip of paper and wrap it around your ring finger. Make sure it fits over the knuckle.
2. Use a pen to mark where the paper overlaps.
3. Measure the length of the paper from start to the pen mark using a ruler with mm measurement.

Your ring should fit your finger comfortably; snug enough so that it will not fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle.

Finger size changes depending on the time of day and the weather. For best results measure your finger size:
  • At the end of the day and when your fingers are warm (Fingers are smaller in the early morning and when cold.)
  •  Measure finger size 3 to 4 times to eliminate an erroneous reading.
  • Avoid using string or paper to measure ring size as these materials can stretch or twist, yielding an inaccurate measurement.
Women's rings typically range from size 3 to 9. The most commonly purchased women's ring sizes in the Allcelticjewellery range from size 5 to 7. Size 6 being the most popular ring size. Men's rings typically range from size 8 to 14. The most commonly purchased men's ring sizes range from size 8 to 10 1/2. Size 9 being the most popular ring size.
Tips for Buying the Ring as a Surprise

Ask your significant other's friends or mother if they know her/his finger size. Borrow his/her ring (from the correct finger) and use the ring measurements above to determine its size.

Helpful tips:

  • Measure your finger in the evening.
    Fingers tend to be smaller earlier in the day or when it's cold.
  • Heat and humidity may cause your fingers to swell and be larger than normal.
  • If you have enlarged knuckles due to arthritis, you may need a size larger than the one listed above.
