๏ปฟMeasuring at home
Prepare the Materials:ย Cut a piece of string or use a strip of paper that is about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long. Make sure it is not too thick or too thin
Wrap the String or Paper Around Your Finger:ย Take the piece of string or paper and wrap it around the base of the finger you want to measure. The base of your finger is the part where the ring will sit. Make sure the string or paper is snug but not too tight. You should be able to slide it over your knuckle without any resistance
Mark the Intersection Point:ย Once you have the string or paper wrapped around your finger, use a pen or marker to mark the point where the end of the string or paper intersects.
Measure the Length:ย Carefully remove the string or paper from your finger and lay it flat on a table. Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the length from the starting end to the marked intersection point. Take note of the measurement in millimetres (mm).
Determine Your Ring Size:ย Compare the measured length in millimetres to a ring size chart. Different regions use different ring size standards (e.g., US, UK, EU), so make sure you're using the appropriate chart for your location.
Consider Ring Width:ย If you are planning to buy a wide-band ring (e.g., a thick wedding band), it is generally recommended to go up half a size to accommodate the extra width.
Double-Check:ย For accuracy, it's a good idea to repeat the measurement process a couple of times and measure the same finger at different times of the day when your fingers might be slightly larger or smaller due to temperature or activities.
