Has a stunning ring ever caught your eye, but as soon as you start considering taking it home, you realize you don’t know your ring size? Finding your ring size is a key step in purchasing the perfect ring. Whether you're shopping for yourself or picking out a special gift, here's how to find your perfect ring size—and do it from the comfort of your own home!
Ring Sizers: The Most Accurate Way to Find Your Ring Size
In the UK, ring sizes range from A to Z+, with A being the smallest size. The most reliable way to find your ring size is by using a ring sizer. We provide a refundable ring sizer on our website!
How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
If you don’t have a ring sizer on hand, you can easily measure your ring size at home using string or paper. Here’s how:
-
Find a Piece of String or Paper: Take a piece of string, paper, or even dental floss.
-
Wrap It Around Your Finger: Wrap the string around the base of your finger (where you’d normally wear your ring). Be sure it’s snug but not too tight—just as you’d want the ring to fit.
-
Mark and Measure: Mark the point where the string overlaps, then measure the length in millimetres using a ruler.
-
Compare to a Ring Size Chart: Compare the measurement to a UK ring size chart to find your perfect ring size. Alternatively, if you're shopping with us at Silver Hollow Jewellery, simply share the circumference measurement, and we'll match it to the ideal size.
Ring Size Conversion Charts: UK, US, EU, and More
It’s also important to know that ring sizes can vary by country. If you need to convert between different sizing systems, we can help! Whether you're dealing with US ring sizes, EU sizing, or any other international standard, here is a ring size conversion chart to ensure you get the perfect fit no matter where you're shopping.
What If You're Buying a Ring as a Gift?
Finding the ring size for someone else—especially if it’s a surprise—can be tricky. Here are a few ideas to help:
-
Sneak a Peek at Their Existing Rings: If the person you're buying for already wears rings, you can borrow one that fits the intended finger and have it measured by a jeweller to determine their size.
-
Ask a Close Friend or Family Member: Someone close to them might know their ring size or can help you find it without giving away the surprise.
-
Ring Size Mandrel: If you don’t want to risk guessing, we at Silver Hollow Jewellery can use a ring-size mandrel to measure any ring that fits the person already, ensuring a perfect match.
Why Knowing Your Ring Size Is Important
Understanding your correct ring size ensures that your new ring will fit perfectly. A well-fitting ring will not only look great but will also be comfortable to wear. Plus, knowing your size can save time and hassle, whether you're shopping for yourself or choosing a meaningful engagement ring or wedding band for a loved one.
Pro Tip: Fingers tend to swell slightly throughout the day, so it’s best to measure your finger later in the day for a more accurate result. Also, make sure your finger is neither too cold nor too warm when measuring.
