Ring Sizing Tips
▲ For You: Thermal expansion is the tendency of things to expand as they get warmer and shrink with the cold. Funny as it sounds, the same thing happens to fingers. If it’s time to size a ring, first make sure your finger is at a nice and normal body temperature. That done, check to see if your knuckle is much larger than your finger’s base. If it is, take two separate measurements and choose a size in between. You want a ring to fit over your knuckle, but not be too loose (a loose ring is almost as sad as a lost ring)!
▲ For Someone Else: Measuring rings for another person takes stealth. The easiest, most accurate way is to quietly take a ring he or she wears often and compare it to our Method 2 size chart.
METHOD 1
MEASURE YOUR FINGER & FIND YOUR SIZE
- STEP 1 – Find a piece of non stretchy string or paper about 6″ long and 1/4″ wide.
- STEP 2 – Wrap it around the base of your finger. It has to fit snug, but not too tight.
- STEP 3 – Mark the point on the string/ paper where it overlaps forming a complete circle.
- STEP 4 – Compare the length of the string/ paper to the image below. That is your ring size!
*If you are between sizes, order a larger size.
METHOD 2
MEASURE YOUR RING & FIND YOUR SIZE
Measure your ring’s diameter from the inside edges and compare it to the image below. If you are between sizes, order a larger size.
Is your ring a gift?? If the person doesn’t have a ring you can borrow for measurements, you can try to use Method 1 on his or her ring finger, or to avoid spoiling the surprise, you could always gift them with a Vivid Venus gift card!
