How to Measure Ring Size at Home
Measuring your ring size at home is simple with everyday tools like a string or a tape measure. Wrap the string around your ring finger just below the knuckle, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length with a ruler. Use our ring size chart to find the corresponding size based on the circumference or diameter. For the most accurate results, avoid measuring cold fingers, as they can shrink slightly in size. This is not a guarantee sizing will be on point, it is best to go get sized or use a ring sizer.
Know Your Ring Size Measurement System Ring sizes are measured using different systems depending on the country or region. The most common systems include:
U.S. and Canada: Size is usually measured in numbers (e.g., 6, 7, 8) with half sizes available (e.g., 6.5, 7.5).
UK and Australia: The size is usually measured in letters (e.g., K, M, O), with half sizes also available.
Avoid Ring Sizing Common Pitfalls:
Printable sizers can vary due to printer settings, so we recommend using our reliable ring sizer. You can purchase a ring sizer for the cost of shipping ($5.50 within the USA) and we will get that sent out the following day.

Do Comfort Ring Sizes Run Differently?
Yes, comfort fit rings are designed to sit slightly looser on the finger than standard fit rings. This style features a rounded inner band that reduces pressure on the knuckle and ring finger, making it more comfortable for everyday wear. Due to the curved interior, the diameter fits slightly larger than a standard ring with the same circumference.
To ensure a proper fit, we recommend choosing a ring size about half a size smaller than your standard measurement. Always use a ring size chart or reference tool when selecting comfort fit styles, especially for a wedding ring, engagement ring, or smart ring. These are often made from metals like gold, platinum, or tungsten and are meant to last a lifetime, so precision is key.
How Do I Know What Size I Need Based on How My Current Ring Fits?
Although not an exact science, here are a few guidelines if you're using an existing ring to estimate your correct ring size:
-
If you hold your hand down and the ring easily slides past your knuckle (but doesn't completely fall off your finger), that typically means you need one size down.
-
If your ring stops right at your knuckle but doesn’t slide past easily, you likely need half a size down.
-
If the ring goes to your knuckle but feels tight or difficult to push over it, you probably need half a size up.
The knuckle and length of your finger both affect fit, so always consider how the circumference and diameter interact. Don't rely on other jewellery sizes like bracelets or necklaces—ring sizes are unique and must be measured specifically for the ring finger.
What Is the Average Men’s Ring Size?
The most common ring size for men ranges from 8 to 14, with sizes 8–12 being the most frequently purchased. On average, men wear a size 10. Keep in mind that ring sizes are not related to shoe size or wrist size—always measure using a ring sizer, a printable size guide, or by comparing against an existing ring.
To determine your ring size more accurately, you can:
-
Wrap a tape measure or a strip of paper around your ring finger.
-
Mark where the end overlaps and measure the length in millimetres or inches.
-
Match the circumference to the correct ring size using a ring size chart (for example, a circumference of about 51.5 mm corresponds to ringsize 6, while about 59.5 mm matches ringsize 9).
This method is commonly used in both the US and Europe, although sizing scales differ by region. Always check the regional reference when you shop online or in-store to avoid mistakes.
Do women ring sizes differ from men?
While men and women use the same ring size scale, men’s and women’s ring sizes differ greatly. Women usually wear a size between 3 and 9, while men wear a size between 8 and 14. Even though men’s and women’s ring sizes differ, a correct fit feels snug and resistant to slipping.Â
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use a Bracelet Size to Estimate My Ring Size?
No. Bracelet sizes measure wrist circumference, which doesn’t correlate with ring size. Your finger has a completely different shape and measurement range, especially around the knuckle.
What If I’m Between Two Sizes?
If you fall between two sizes, especially when shopping for a comfort fit ring, it’s often better to size down slightly. However, for rings made of harder metal that can’t be easily resized, sizing up may be safer.
What Is the Best Way to Remove a Ring That’s Too Tight?
If your ring gets stuck, don’t panic. Apply a bit of soap, lotion, or oil around the ring and twist gently while pulling. If that doesn’t work, elevate your hand and use cold water to reduce swelling before trying again.
Can I Resize My Ring Later?
Most jewelry stores can resize rings made from precious metals like gold or silver. However, smart rings or tungsten bands may not be resizable due to the material properties.
