A ring is a significant piece of jewelry that holds multiple meanings. It not only relates to feng shui, allowing you to express yourself and make a statement without words, but it is also present during important life occasions such as engagements, weddings, and anniversaries.

That’s why many people take great care in choosing a ring that fits well with their ring size. In today’s article, we will explore how to easily choose and measure ring size at home for both men and women!

1. Ring size chart for home measurement

Measuring ring size or finger size is a method used to find the exact measurement of the finger in order to choose the right ring size.

The ring size chart for home measurement is used after determining the circumference of the finger where the ring will be worn. Here is a commonly used ring size chart:

Ring diameter (mm)	Size
14.7	6
15	7
15.5	8
16	9
16.5	10
16.7	11
17	12
17.5	13
17.7	14
18	15
18.5	16
18.7	17
18.8	18
19	19
19.2	20

Note: This ring size chart is considered the most accurate.

2. Simple ways to measure ring size

A well-fitting ring provides confidence and comfort to the wearer. Here are some simple ways to measure ring size so you can choose and purchase a ring without visiting a store.

Measuring ring size with paper and ruler

This is a very simple method that only requires common office supplies.

Prepare a sheet of paper, a pen, and a ruler.
Cut a piece of paper with a length of about 10 cm and a width of about 1 cm.
Wrap the cut piece of paper tightly around the finger.
Mark the point where the edge of the paper and the body of the paper intersect.
Remove the paper and use a ruler to measure the length from the edge of the paper to the marked point. Divide the measured value by 3.14 and compare the result with the ring size chart to determine your ring size.

Measuring ring size based on an existing ring

Another simple method is to use an old ring or borrow a ring from a loved one to measure the appropriate ring size.

Prepare a ruler and the ring for measurement.
Place the ring on a flat surface.
Use a ruler to measure the inner diameter of the ring.
Compare the inner diameter with the ring size chart to determine the appropriate ring size.

Note: The inner diameter is the distance between two opposite points on the small circle inside the ring, which is different from the overall diameter of the ring.

Measuring ring size based on weight and height

If you don’t have the necessary tools to measure the ring size, you can estimate it based on your height and weight and then compare it with the following chart:

3. Things to note when measuring ring size at home

Pay attention to the thickness of the ring: The thickness of the ring may vary depending on its design and material. Therefore, you need to adjust the size accordingly to ensure a proper fit, neither too tight nor too loose.
Measure ring size multiple times: Since measuring ring size can be prone to errors, it’s recommended to measure multiple times to obtain the most accurate measurements.
Finger size may vary with temperature: In cold weather, fingers tend to shrink, so it’s advised to add 1mm to the measured size. Conversely, in hot weather, fingers may expand, so subtract 1mm from the measured size.
Pay attention to finger joints: The middle joint area of the finger is typically slightly larger than the base of the finger. To ensure a comfortable fit, measure the ring size just below the joint and at the base of the finger, then take the average of the two measurements. If the finger joint is larger than usual, measure the circumference just below the joint and make adjustments accordingly to prevent the ring from getting stuck or slipping off.

Above is a collection of information related to simple ways to choose and measure ring size at home for both men and women. A ring is a meaningful piece of jewelry and an essential accessory to enhance your style. We hope this guide has helped you find the right ring size for yourself or your loved ones!
