Measuring Your Ring Size: Tips & Tricks for a Perfect Fit
Let’s be real: sizing your finger for the perfect ring isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds. Whether you’re shopping for a dainty stacker or a statement band, we’ve got you covered with some tried-and-true tips to help you get it just right.
5 Pro Tips for Ring Sizing:
-
Don’t Forget the Knuckle
Your knuckle might be a little wider than your finger, so make sure the ring sizer slides comfortably over it. If needed, consider ordering a half-size up to ensure a perfect fit. -
Temperature Matters
Did you know temperature can change your ring size? Cold weather may cause your fingers to shrink, while warm weather (or even a cozy day indoors) can make them swell. So, try to measure when your hands are at a neutral temperature. -
Measure the Right Finger
Sounds obvious, but don’t forget to measure the finger you’ll be wearing the ring on. Your fingers are sisters, not twins - the same finger on your opposite hand could be a different size! -
Watch the Salt and Sips
Indulging in salty snacks or imbibing on alcoholic drinks can cause swelling in your fingers. For the most accurate size, give your hands a day or two to recover after that nacho or wine night! -
When in Doubt, Size Up
If you’re torn between sizes, always go a little larger. It’s better to have a slightly roomier fit, especially after those beer and chips days!
Handy Tip to Remember Your Size:

Our Printable Ring Sizer Tool
We’ve made it easy with our printable ring sizer tool! While paper templates can sometimes be tricky, as long as you follow the directions and print at 100% scale (not “fit to page”), you should get a pretty accurate measurement. Double-check the sizing guide with a ruler or tape measure to be extra sure.
Extra Ring Sizing Tips & Adjustments
Even when you know your ring size, keep in mind that different ring styles can fit slightly differently. Here are a few extra things to think about when sizing:
-
Wider Bands Need Wiggle Room
For thicker bands (anything over 2mm), consider sizing up. Wider rings don’t have as much “give” when sliding over your knuckle, so going up a half size ensures a more comfortable fit. -
Stacking Rings Fit Together Best When They’re Close in Size
If you’re building your stack game, keep those rings within a half size of each other for a snug, stylish look. -
Adjustable Rings Have Limits
Rings with open bands, like our wrap styles, have a bit of flexibility. You can adjust them slightly, but pulling them apart too much may affect the look or comfort. -
