Alternative Methods of Ring Sizing

If you don’t have a ring sizer, try these options:

• String or Paper: Wrap it around your finger, mark the spot, and measure with a ruler. Cross-check the measurement with a sizing chart.
• Existing Ring: Measure the diameter of a well-fitting ring and compare it to a ring size chart.

Tip: Measure at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest for the most accurate result.

Secretly Finding Someone Else’s Ring Size

Planning a surprise gift? Here are some discreet ways to find their ring size:

• Borrow a Ring: Borrow a ring they wear on the intended finger and have it measured by a jeweler.
• Ask Their Friends or Family: Enlist the help of someone close who might know.
• Trace a Ring: Place one of their rings on paper and trace the inside and outside. A jeweler can use this to estimate the size.
• Use a String While They Sleep: Carefully wrap a string around their finger and note the measurement.

Rings That Can’t Be Resized

While most rings can be adjusted, certain designs pose challenges:

• Eternity Bands: The continuous design limits resizing options.
• Intricate Detailing: Delicate patterns may be affected by resizing.

Always consult a trusted jeweler, like Lisa Robin, for professional advice.

Different companies may use varying standards, such as:

• Diameter vs. Circumference: Ensure you know which measurement a brand uses.
• US vs. International Sizing: Confirm the scale if purchasing internationally.

1. Check Temperature: Avoid measuring when fingers are too hot or cold.
2. Size Up If Unsure: When between sizes, go slightly larger.
3. Consider Band Width: Wider bands may require sizing up by ¼ to ½ size.
4. Stacking Rings: Account for the total width when wearing multiple rings.
5. Knuckle Consideration: Measure both the knuckle and finger base, choosing a size in between if necessary.
