1. The String or Floss Method

What You'll Need:

• A piece of non-stretchy string or dental floss

• A ruler (preferably with millimeter measurements)

• A pen or marker

Steps:

1. Wrap It Up: Wrap the string around the base of your finger, ensuring it's snug but not tight.

2. Mark the Spot: Where the string overlaps, mark it with your pen.

3. Measure the Length: Lay the string flat and measure the length up to your mark in millimeters.

4. Find Your Size: Use the measurement to determine your ring size. For reference:

   • Size 6: Circumference of approximately 51.5 mm

   • Size 7: Circumference of approximately 54.0 mm

   • Size 8: Circumference of approximately 56.6 mm

2. The Paper Strip Method

What You'll Need:

• A strip of paper (about 1 cm wide)

• A ruler

• A pen

Steps:

1. Wrap the Paper: Wrap the paper strip around your finger's base.

2. Mark the Overlap: Mark where the paper meets.

3. Measure the Strip: Measure from the start of the paper to the mark in millimeters.

4. Determine Your Size: Match your measurement to the corresponding ring size.

3. The Ring Size App

In our digital age, there's an app for everything—including measuring your ring size! Some jewellers offer free ring sizer apps that use your smartphone's camera to determine your size accurately. Simply follow the app's instructions, and voilà!

Tips for Accurate Measurement

• Time of Day Matters: Measure your finger at the end of the day when it's at its largest.

• Consider the Knuckle: If your knuckle is larger, ensure the ring can comfortably slide over it.

• Measure Multiple Times: For accuracy, measure your finger three to four times to eliminate any discrepancies.
