First of all, we note that ring size measurement systems vary. In Russia, the size is taken to be the inner diameter of the ring, that is, based on the circumference of the finger. Let's see what reliable and simple ways to measure a finger exist:

• We measure the finger size for a ring with a fingertip
• We measure the finger size for a ring with a ring gauge
• Determining ring size using a ruler
• Determining ring size using tape or thread
• Ask the ring size from the person you are giving the jewelry to.
• Tips for choosing ring sizes

We measure the finger size for a ring with a fingertip

This is the easiest and most reliable way to find out your finger size. But special equipment for jewelers is needed - a finger gauge. It is a set of ring templates of different sizes, from the smallest to the largest.

To measure the size, go to a jewelry store, try on several templates and choose the most comfortable option for you. Remember that it is important that the template ring does not sit loosely on your finger, without falling off, and does not clasp it too tightly. Or you can buy a finger gauge in one of the online stores, they are not that expensive.

If you contact Gem Lovers to make a product, our jewelry manager will help you correctly determine your size using a finger gauge.

Recommendations

1. If you are determining the size for a narrow ring (up to 5 mm in width), then the result obtained during measurement can be rounded to the nearest value. For a wide ring (from 6 mm), round up or add half a size.
2. The thickness of your fingers may vary throughout the day. Therefore, it is better to take several measurements at different times of the day. Or once in the middle of the day: as a rule, at this time a person is at the peak of activity and the fluid balance in the body is optimal.
3. Do not take measurements after drinking large amounts of liquid, exercising, or when sick. You should also not do this if the room is very hot or cold.

Determining ring size using a ruler

If you have a ring that you are wearing and its size is comfortable for you, you can measure its inner diameter using any suitable measuring tool: a ruler or caliper. To do this, attach a ruler to the ring and measure the inner diameter of the tire circumference.

The resulting value is the ring size. And the second method, put the ring on paper, trace the inner circle with a sharp pencil or pen, and then, applying a ruler to the paper, measure the diameter of the resulting circle.

How to find out Russian finger ring size

The table will be a good assistant in determining the required size of an accessory, but how can you find out the diameter and circumference in order to compare them with the data in the table?

To determine the diameter:

• Take a strip of paper 10-12 cm and 3 cm wide;
• Wrap the strip around your finger;
• Make a mark in the desired location;
• In the same way, take measurements on the most protruding phalanx of the fingers;
• Choose the average value between the two measurements, which will correspond to the actual size.

If you want to give a gift to your beloved girl, then just take her ring and draw it from the inside. This is the easiest way to find out the ring size by diameter.

Determining ring size using tape or thread

This method will help you find out the girth of your finger and then calculate the diameter directly at home. To do this, wrap a measuring tape around your finger and use the resulting value for further calculations.

If you don't have tape at hand, wrap your finger tightly with a thread or a strip of paper, and then measure the resulting length with a ruler. The formula for calculations is as follows. D=L/π, where π is 3.14, L is the girth of the finger in mm (the resulting length of the thread or ribbon), D is the diameter of the finger, also known as the size of the ring.

American ring sizes

The US ring size is not similar to the Russian one; accordingly, it is marked completely differently. According to European standards, it is customary to designate ring sizes from 4 to 9.

Tips for choosing ring sizes

1. If the ring is wide, that is, the shank is wider than 5-6 mm, and fits tightly to the skin, we recommend buying a ring half a size larger. If it’s thin, about 2-2.5 mm, take half a size smaller.
2. The size of the finger can change throughout the day, either up or down. Also, fingers can “expand” or “contract” depending on the temperature in the room. So, outside in cool weather you may feel that the ring fits loosely on your finger. In hot weather or a very hot room, you may find it difficult to even remove the ring from your finger! It is recommended to measure your finger in the middle of the day, at room temperature.
3. The sizes of different fingers are different. So, the little finger has the smallest girth, and the thumb has the largest. Next in descending order of size are the middle finger, index finger and ring finger. The size of the fingers on the working hand is slightly larger, for example on the right hand if you are right-handed, or on the left if you are left-handed.
4. If you have chosen and purchased a ring and feel while wearing it that it is too big or too small for you, take the ring to a workshop; in most cases, you can change the size to almost any size. The exceptions are rings with hot enamel, a ring with sprinkling around the circumference, and complex ring models.
5. If you buy a ring from a store, remember that mass-produced rings are made in half-size increments. If your finger size is in between, such as 17.3 or 18.8, you should round up. So, if you have 17.2, you can round up to 17, if 17.4 - to 17.5.

Russian ring sizes

Much attention is paid to the size of women's rings, since the decoration on a girl's finger speaks about the taste and style of the owner, which is important for any representative of the fair sex.

An incorrectly selected ring can ruin the geometry of your finger and cause a lot of trouble. To prevent this from happening, check out the size scale for girls and women of all ages.

*16.5 - 17 ring sizes are considered the most popular.

Men's rings include accessories with a diameter of more than 18. Before choosing a ring size, you should decide which finger it will be worn on, because fingers differ in individual characteristics and measurements.

Russian jewelry measurements are similar to German ones, so you can use the above table for accessories from Germany.

Tips for women: how to find out your finger size

Method No. 1

If you have a ring on hand but still don't know your size, simply take a ruler and measure the inside diameter of the ring (at its widest point). The number in millimeters that you see on the ruler is the ring size. For men it is 19 or 23 mm (size 19 and 23, respectively), and for women from 15 mm and above (size 15, respectively).

Method No. 2

1. Print a table with actual ring diameters.
2. Place a ring on each circle in turn and find the one whose diameter most closely matches the diameter of your ring.
3. If the size varies between two options, choose the larger one. The line should be on the inside of the ring, not on the outside, so you can measure the size accurately and correctly.

Method No. 3

1. You will need a small piece of thread, twine or a thin strip of plain white paper.
2. Wrap it around your finger tightly, but not too tightly, so as not to pinch.
3. Memorize or mark with a pen the points where the edges of the thread or paper meet.
4. After this, attach the resulting segment to the ruler printed in a PDF document. All sizes are indicated in actual size, which does not require the calculation of special formulas, etc.
5. If your size falls between two marks, choose the larger one.

Method No. 4

Print out the measuring tape from the link below. Wrap it around your finger, but do not pinch it. Wherever you stop is your ring size.

Method No. 5

The size of the ring can be determined using an ordinary thread, wrapping it around your finger. Do not grasp the phalanx too tightly, nor too loosely. Make a mark where the ends of the thread touch. Using a ruler, measure the resulting segment. The table will help you determine the size. Or you can simply divide the result by 3.14.

size table

In order to know exactly your ring size in the future, follow a few tips. Don't pick up rings:

• in the morning;
• during critical days;
• after the flight (in the transit area of ​​the Airport);
• after playing sports.

After a night or a long flight, a large amount of water remains in the human body, which leads to swelling of the limbs. The same principle applies after a grueling workout - your fingers are still swollen and those rings that come in at the right time will become too big for you in a couple of hours. This will lead to discomfort when wearing the jewelry - the ring will constantly slip and twist. Plus, a large ring is very easy to lose.

• Do not try on rings in very hot or cold weather - your fingers will also swell;
• It is best to select rings during the day, in a calm state, at a comfortable temperature and state of health.
• To determine whether you are comfortable in the ring, simply clench your hand into a fist several times. No discomfort? The size is correct. Does it press, “bite in”? The ring is not enough.

Involve mutual friends in the matter

If you know one of your girlfriend’s relatives or friends, then you can ask them about what ring size is suitable for your beloved. Sometimes they already know this information and, of course, they will be happy to share it with you.

It may also turn out that the size of the hands of your loved one and, for example, her mother or best friend are the same. In this case, all you have to do is take them with you to the jewelry store to try them on and thus decide on the size of the ring.

If this method does not work, then ask the same mother, sister or friend, as if by chance, to take your passion to the jewelry store, where they can try on as many rings as possible with her and, thus, find out what size she is.

Important! At the same time, you can also ask your girlfriend’s friend or sister to see what kind of design and style of ring she will try on, and then tell you. This will help you decide on the jewelry model itself if you can’t choose it yourself.

Unnoticed with another ring

One of the simplest and easiest ways is to borrow one of the girl’s rings for a while.

You can do this while visiting her, however, you will have to act very carefully and secretly so that she does not suspect anything. To do this, you will need to wait until your crush leaves the room for a while, and then begin to act.

Where the desired decoration may be:

• Most often, young ladies store such things in boxes, and, very possibly, one of them is now standing on her dressing table or on her chest of drawers.
• If there is no box, then perhaps the jewelry is stored in the drawers of the closet or the same chest of drawers.
• Or maybe there is a special stand for them? In a word, look around, you will most likely quickly find the item you need.

Important! Try not to “borrow” from your beloved a ring that she constantly wears and whose temporary loss she will immediately notice. And if he also draws a parallel between your visit and the disappearance of your favorite jewelry.

You can guess what will happen, right? At best, you will have to make excuses to her and come up with excuses, and at worst, this may be the end of your recently so promising relationship.

The video talks about ways to secretly find out a girl's ring size:

But let’s assume that the operation to “borrow” the ring was successful. What to do next? And then there are several options.

Take it to the jewelry store

This is perhaps one of the best ways. All you need to do is come to the salon with a ring, show it to the jeweler and together with him choose a piece of jewelry that fits the size.

Reference! However, this method takes quite a lot of time, and besides, you will have to ask to visit the girl again in order to return the “lost” item.

Measure the diameter yourself

If you know for sure that your girlfriend doesn’t have much jewelry and she’ll probably immediately notice the loss of any of it, then you’ll have to resort to another method.

How to do it:

1. Having seized the moment, take the ring and circle its diameter on the paper from the inside.
2. Or make an imprint either on plasticine or, even better, on self-curing plastic.
3. After this, you can immediately go with the drawing or print to a jewelry store, or you can measure the diameter of the circle with a ruler.

Try it on yourself

You can also put the ring on any finger and note to what level it fits.

Important! To prevent your short memory from playing a cruel joke on you, it is better to make a mark on your finger with a ballpoint or helium pen. You can also use a felt-tip pen or marker - if available.

View by table

To do this, you will need to first print out the ring size chart.

Once you are visiting a girl, you seize the moment while she is gone, say, to cook dinner or wash the dishes, take the decoration and apply it to the circles on the table. Whichever circle its diameter coincides with is the size you need.
