The most accurate way to measure ring size is by using a ring-measurement tool. They don't tend to be expensive, and there are many options online. Ring-sizing tools fall into two categories: a thin measuring tape or a keyring lined with a gradient of ring sizes.

Find your ring size with the string method

Take some string or a piece of paper no wider than 1.4 cm. Wrap it around your finger and mark with a pen where one end of the string or paper meets the other. Then line the string or paper against a ruler and read off the measurement.

Surprisingly accurate!

Went into a shop and was told to get a 3.5 but it felt so snug! Like terrified that it was stuck on my finger in the store snug. Another said the same, stating a 4 would be to big. This app confirmed quarter sizes and measured me a 3.75.

This form of measurement is definitely not very accurate and there are many variables to consider. The main problem with using this method is the difference in feel that a pliable piece of paper has around your finger vs. a stiff unbendable metallic tungsten ring.

To enlarge the ring at home with pliers, first mark the lower part of the ring. Then cut it to make a gap. Adjust the size to the desired size with pliers. Then scrape the edges with a nail file so that the sharpness does not scratch your hand.

What is the average ring size for a woman? ›

An average finger size is 6 for women and 8 or 8½ for men. Finally, if your partner is above average height or build, their weight will be naturally distributed across their whole body, so it might be a good idea to start at around a ring size 7 for a woman and a size 10 for men.

The size of a customer's ring is determined using a ring sizing stick or ring mandrel made of tapered wood, plastic, or aluminum that is marked in quarter, half, and full-size increments (These increments equate to inside diameter increases of approximately 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm respectively).

Please remember that the wider your wedding band is, the tighter it will fit. If you are looking at a ring that is extra wide, 7mm or wider, you should order your band at least a 1/4 size larger than the size of your actual finger size. If in doubt, choose the smaller size.

If you're between sizes, it's usually best to size up rather than down, as it's easier to adjust a ring that's too big than one that's too small. You may even go back and forth between two sizes; for example, your hands can swell up on hot days, making your ring size slightly larger.

Going up or down by half a size means a difference of roughly 1 millimeter. Although this may seem negligible, with a snug fit, a 1 millimeter variance can significantly impact comfort. For wide bands 2-3 millimeters thick, that extra millimeter's difference is amplified.
