Finding the perfect ring is about more than just design—it's about the perfect fit. There's nothing worse than the disappointment of a stunning ring that doesn't slide on comfortably or, even worse, slips right off. Whether you're treating yourself or planning a surprise for a loved one, knowing the correct ring size is crucial. This guide will walk you through the easiest and most reliable methods to measure your ring size at home, following US and Canadian standards.
All Eamti Jewelry rings are meticulously crafted to US standard sizing. While Canadian ring sizes are identical to US sizes, it's always best to confirm your measurement against a US standard chart for absolute accuracy.
First Things First: How Are Ring Sizes Measured?
Before we start, it helps to know what the numbers mean. In the US and Canada, ring size is a numerical measure that corresponds to the inner circumference of the ring, typically measured in millimeters.
- The circumference is the measurement around the inside of the ring.
- The diameter is the measurement straight across the inside of the ring.
- Standard sizes for women usually range from size 4 to 7.
- Standard sizes for men usually range from size 8 to 12.
The number itself (e.g., Size 6) represents a specific circumference and diameter.
3 Easy Methods to Find Your Perfect Fit
Here are three trusted methods, from most to least recommended.
Method 1: The Pro Printer Method (Most Accurate)
Use a printable ring sizer for the best at-home results.
- Print: Find and print a standard US ring size chart. Crucially, ensure the guide has a "scale" box to verify your printer didn't resize the page.
- Check the Scale: Place a credit card or U.S. quarter on the chart. If they match the outlines perfectly, your printout is accurate.
- Cut & Form: Cut out the sizer strip and form a loop by sliding the pointed end through the tab.
- Measure: Slip it over your finger, adjust for a snug fit, and read your size from the tab.
Notes: Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warmest. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold.
Method 2: The Perfect Ring Match
Measure a ring you already own that fits well.
- Find Your Ring: Grab a ring that fits the intended finger perfectly.
- Measure the Inside: Place it on a flat surface. Use a ruler to measure the inside diameter in millimeters.
- Match to a Chart: Use a conversion chart to find the US size that matches your diameter measurement.
Method 3: The DIY String Method (Use with Caution)
A quick hack if you don't have a printer or another ring.
- Wrap: Cut a thin strip of paper or string and wrap it around the base of your finger.
- Mark: Mark the point where the end overlaps to form a complete circle.
- Measure & Convert: Measure the length in millimeters and use a conversion chart to find your size.
Key Considerations Before You Finalize Your Size
A perfect measurement requires a few extra thoughts:
- Knuckle Size: If your knuckle is larger, you may need to size up to get the ring over it comfortably.
- Ring Width: Wider bands (over 6mm) fit tighter. For these, consider going up a quarter or half size.
- When in Doubt: It's easier to resize a ring that's slightly too big than to stretch one that's too small. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
