How to find your ring size: Three helpful methods

One of the most common questions I receive is “How do I figure out my ring size?” Rings are particularly difficult for me to sell for this reason, even though I love to make them! Whether you just want to know or need to know  for a custom project, a made-to-order ring, or a yucca signet (pre-orders close 10/14/21!), I hope this video and article help you find your ring size.


Before you start, read this:

Method 1 is the preferred way, but sometimes finding time to go to a jewelry store is hard, I get it! Methods 2 and 3 are far less accurate, so I would recommend doing BOTH methods and comparing. If you can’t make it to a jewelry store, these methods should work.

If you use these methods to measure but are still unsure, list your measurements (in millimeters!) in the “additional notes” section at checkout and I can make the ring to your specifications (this applies to made-to-order rings and yucca signets only).


 

Without further ado, here are three ways to measure your ring size:

METHOD 1:

Get sized by a jeweler.

This is the best, most fool-proof, most accurate way to find your ring size. Go to any jeweler or jewelry store (you know, all the big chains with the radio ads… I shall not list them here!) and they will size you for free!

I always bring my sizer to in-person events and shows, so do not hesitate to ask!

METHOD 2:

Measure the internal diameter (in millimeters) of a ring that fits the desired finger and compare your measurement to the chart at www.sophiekissinjewelry.com/find-your-ring-size

Some helpful tips:

  • Try to be as accurate as possible with your measurement! Use millimeters. Even one millimeter will make a difference in your ring size.

  • Make sure you are measuring the true diameter at the widest part of the ring. To put it another way: if you aren’t measuring directly down the center, your measurement will be smaller than the diameter.

  • If you have the tool, use precision calipers to measure.

METHOD 3:

Measure the circumference of the desired finger and compare your measurement to the chart at www.sophiekissinjewelry.com/find-your-ring-size

Some helpful tips:

  • Use a string or a strip of paper. The thicker the paper the better (it’s easier to tighten and maneuver around your finger), so I fold my strip in half.

  • Again, try to be as accurate as possible with your measurement! Use millimeters. Even one millimeter will make a difference in your ring size.

  • You don’t have to cut the strip like I do in the video if you have adequately marked it.


I hope this helps you find your ring size so you can wear allll the rings.
