How do you order a ring without trying it on? If it's too small, it won't fit over your knuckle, and if it's too big it won't stay on your finger when you start to slow clap after a dog wins a basketball tournament. Avoid such travesties with our ring size guide.
Find your ring size using one of the following methods: the string and ruler method (no printer required) or the diagram method (printer required).
String and Ruler Method
Supplies Needed
Ruler with millimeter measurements
Nonstretchy string or a strip of paper
Instructions
Wrap a piece of nonstretchy string or a strip of paper around the base of your finger.
Mark the point where it overlaps using a pen or fine-point marker.

Measuring Tips
All measurements match the inside circumference of the ring.
If your finger measurement falls between sizes, order the larger size.
Fingers, like brains, are smaller in the morning and bigger by the end of the day. Measure your fingers at the end of the day.
Take multiple measurements to ensure an accurate reading.
Weather and temperature affect finger size. Do these measurements where it's moderately warm.
If you have large knuckles, measure both the base of your finger and your knuckle, and select a size between the two.
Fingers tend to be one half-size larger on your dominant hand.
