RING SIZE | HOW TO FIND IT AND WHAT TO MEASURE
Easily find the size of your ring using a tape measure, or a thread by following the simple procedure below.
1st Way – Internal Diameter
To find the ring size:
1. On a ring that fits you well, measure the inner diameter in millimetres (mm) with a ruler.
2. Match the millimetres (mm) with the correspondences in the table at the bottom of the page.
2nd Way – Inner Perimeter
To find the ring size:
1. Wrap your finger with the tape measure or thread, loosely to create a complete circle around it.
2. Use a pen to mark the point on the thread (or tape measure) where it meets the end.
3. Re-open the thread in a straight line.
4. Using a ruler, measure in millimetres (mm) the length of the thread from its end to the point marked with the pen. You found the inner perimeter.
Note
When trying to find the size for the ring it is good to keep in mind that:
Α. Your hands are probably not the same size. Usually your “good” hand tends to be a little bigger.This means that if you know the size of a ring you wear on one hand, you may not wear the same size on the other hand.
Β. A ring is better to be slightly larger than normal than smaller.
Γ. Don’t forget that your fingers may swell a little during the day or on hotter days.
Δ. Do not forget to take into account the size of the joints over which the ring will have to pass.
Ε. Attention, 1 cm corresponds to 10 mm. So if a measurement is 1.65 centimetres (cm), this corresponds to 16.5 millimetres (mm).
