Ring Size Guide
1. How to Find Your Ring Size at Home
Finding the correct ring size is important for a comfortable fit. Your ring should slide over your knuckle without too much force and sit comfortably on your finger without feeling too tight or too loose.
You can find your ring size at home using a paper strip, a ruler, or a ring you already own.
Method 1: Measure Your Finger With Paper
Step 1: Wrap a paper strip
Cut a thin strip of paper and wrap it around the finger where you want to wear your ring.
Step 2: Mark the overlap
Mark the exact point where the paper overlaps. Keep the strip snug but not tight.
Step 3: Measure in millimeters
Lay the paper flat and measure the distance from its starting edge to the mark. This is your finger circumference.
Step 4: Check the size chart
Match your circumference in millimeters with the chart below to find your approximate ring size.
Important: Measure two or three times for a more reliable result. If your measurement falls between sizes, check the ring's width and your preferred fit before choosing.
Method 2: Measure a Ring You Already Own
- Choose a ring that already fits the correct finger comfortably.
- Place it flat on a ruler.
- Measure the inside diameter only, from one inner edge to the opposite inner edge, in millimeters.
- Match the measurement with the ring size chart.
Do not measure the outside edges of the ring, as this can give you the wrong size.

4. Tips for Getting the Perfect Ring Fit
- Measure at the right time: Measure when your hands are at a normal temperature. Fingers can swell in hot weather and shrink in cold weather.
- Check your knuckle: Your ring should pass over your knuckle comfortably and sit securely at the base of your finger.
- Consider the ring width: Wider bands may feel tighter than thin bands of the same size.
- Measure the correct finger: Your ring size may differ between your left and right hands, and between different fingers.
- Repeat your measurement: Take two or three measurements to reduce the chance of an error.
- Between two sizes? Check the product's sizing guidance and consider the ring design before selecting a size.
5. Common Ring Sizing Mistakes to Avoid
|
Common mistake |
How to avoid it |
|---|---|
|
Measuring too tightly |
Keep the paper strip snug without squeezing your finger. |
|
Measuring the outer diameter |
Measure only the inside diameter of an existing ring. |
|
Measuring a cold finger |
Wait until your hands return to a normal temperature. |
|
Using the size of another finger |
Measure the exact finger where you plan to wear the ring. |
|
Guessing from another brand's size |
Check the sizing standard used for your chosen ring. |
FAQs About Ring Sizes
1. How can I find my ring size at home?
Wrap a paper strip around your finger, mark the overlap and measure its length in millimeters. Match the circumference to a reliable ring size chart.
2. Is ring size based on diameter or circumference?
Both measurements can help. Circumference measures around your finger, while inner diameter measures across the inside of a ring. Make sure you use the correct column in the chart.
3. How tight should a ring fit?
A properly fitted ring should feel comfortable, slide over your knuckle with slight resistance and not slip off easily. It should never cause pain or restrict circulation.
4. Does ring size change during the day?
Yes. Temperature, activity and temporary swelling can affect finger size. Measuring at a normal temperature helps you get a more consistent result.
5. What should I do if I am between two ring sizes?
Repeat your measurement and check the ring's width and design. If you are still unsure, contact Riaagh Jewels for sizing guidance before ordering.
6. Can I use a ring size chart from another jewellery brand?
You can use it as a reference, but different brands may use different sizing standards. Always check the size chart provided for the ring you want to purchase.
