A ring is a typical band worn on the fingers. Rings are
 made of metal and usually have one or more gemstones. People wear rings as an
 ornament to beautify themselves; some wear rings as a sign of authority,
 marriage, or engagement.Point 1: the first point
 is to ensure you measure the exact finger you want to wear the rings in because
 our fingers are different

Do you know the sizes of your fingers are different? Yes,
 they are different because research and studies have shown a significant
 difference between the sizes of fingers.

To avoid mistakes or errors due to differences in finger
 size, measure the finger you want to wear the ring on.

Point 2; consider your
 knuckle size when taking measurement

Use the size between your knuckle and your finger if you
 have a finger with a smaller base size than your knuckle. This
 will allow the ring to move freely (but not too loosely) into your hands.

Point 3; measure your
 finger at the end of the day

This sounds awkward, right? Yes, it is, but it is the best time to take finger measurements.

This is because of the effect of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0072641/" target="_blank">temperature on the body</a>.&nbsp;The
 body shrinks when the temperature is cold and expands when the body is hot. It
 is just a natural mechanism for regulating external temperature.

Our finger sizes are always smaller in the morning because our
 body is cold and large later in the day when the body is warm.

Point 4; repeat measuring
 the ring size more than once to get an accurate value.

The aim of measuring finger sizes is to get rings that fit
 snugly on your finger. A ring should slide into your finger with ease, but it
 should not be above to fall or come off easily.

A properly sized ring should not put too much pressure on
 the hand, and it should not be able to fall off easily.

Repeating the process will minimize the risk of getting a
 ring that won't size you perfectly. It will also help you get the right fit
 ring that will prevent you from wasting time searching for how to resize the
 oversized ring or purchase another ring.

Point 5; know the type of
 ring you will be buying

If you buy normal-sized rings, any measurement
 you take will work perfectly, but if you are considering buying a thick or wide
 ring, you need to add an allowance to the ring size. The allowance for the ring
 size can be an addition of 0.2-0.5.

This simply means if your ring size is 6.0, you must add
 0.2-0.5 to the size, resulting in a 6.2- 6.5.





Having discussed what you need to know before measuring
 ring size, let’s move to the body of the article, which explains how to measure
 ring sizes. The methods that will be explained in this article will
 require the use of a&nbsp;ring-size table or chart.

Ring Size Chart

THE FIRST METHOD TO
 MEASURE YOUR RING SIZE IS BY USING A STRIP OF PAPER

This is one of the easiest and simplest yet most effective
 and efficient ways to measure the size of your ring.

What do you need to figure
 out your ring size using this method?

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">This method
 requires you to have a pencil, pen, or marker to mark points when you
 measure</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">A ruler is also
 needed for you to figure out the length you will use to calculate the
 circumference 
 
 </li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Lastly, you
 will need a strip of paper to be folded around the finger.</li>
</ul>

The process of measuring

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">To use this method,
 the first step is to cut a strip out of your paper. Ensure the
 strip of paper is about 100 millimeters in length.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">The next step
 is to fold the thin strip of 100 millimeters at the base of your finger.
 Ensure the paper is folded close to your knuckle so you can have a perfect
 measurement.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Use the marker,
 pen, or pencil to mark where the end of the thin strip of paper meets.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Use your ruler
 to measure the length of the paper that was folded around your hand</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Finally, you
 convert your measurement to your ring size and check the size of your ring
 in the table above.</li>
</ul>

First Measuring Method

THE SECOND METHOD IS FOR
 YOU MAKE USE OF A STRING

What do you need to
 measure your ring size using this method;

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">This step
 requires you to have a pencil, pen, or marker to mark points when you
 measure.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">A ruler is also
 needed to measure the length you will use to calculate the circumference.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Lastly, you
 will need a string that will be folded around the finger.</li>
</ul>

The process of measuring

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">Just like you
 had to cut a thin strip of paper, you will cut the string too, but the
 string should be about 6 inches long this time.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">The next step
 is to fold the 6 inches of string at the base of your finger. Ensure the
 string is folded close to your knuckle so you can have perfect
 measurements.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Use a marker to
 mark where the string meets.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">The measurement
 string should be placed on the ruler.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Record the
 point on the ruler where the string meets in millimeters.</li>
</ul>

Use the table above to check for your ring size.

Second Measuring Method

A RING THAT FITS YOU CAN
 COME IN HANDY TO HELP YOU DETERMINE YOUR RING SIZE

What do you need to
 measure your ring size using this method?

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">A ring that you
 have been wearing fits you perfectly.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">A ruler to
 measure the diameter of the ring.</li>
</ul>

The process of measuring
 using this method

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">The internal
 diameter of the ring you have at home will be measured using a ruler.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">What is the diameter of the ring?&nbsp;The
 diameter of the ring is the distance between two sides of the internal
 hole, excluding the metal.</li>
</ul>

Take down the diameter of the ring and use the table
 above to determine your ring size.

Third Measuring Method

This approach is like making use of a string. The only
 difference is the thread you would be using. This method is also easier because
 threads are easily assessable, and taking a measurement using threads is also
 easier.

What do you need to
 measure your ring size using the thread method?

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">This step
 requires you to have a pencil, pen, or marker to mark points when you
 measure.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">A ruler is also
 needed to measure the length you will use to calculate the circumference.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Lastly, you
 will need a thread to be folded around the finger.</li>
</ul>

The process of measuring

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal">Just like you
 had to cut a thin strip of paper and the string, you will cut the thread to
 about 6 inches.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">The next step
 is to roll the 6 inches of thread at the base of your finger. Ensure the
 thread is folded close to your knuckle so you can have a perfect
 measurement.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Use a marker to
 mark where the thread meets.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">The measurement
 string should be placed on the ruler.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Record the
 point on a ruler where the thread meets in millimeters.</li>
 <li class="MsoNormal">Use the table
 above to check for your ring size.
 
 </li></ul>




You may be bothered by
 what happens to your ring when the size of your finger grows. Because wedding rings are meant to be worn forever, you will be bothered by
 what happens to the ring when you outgrow the ring or when the finger shrinks
 due to physiological changes.Resizing and shaping simple rings is easy and can be done by a jeweler but
 rings with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.petragems.com/diamonds/" target="_blank">wholesale loose diamonds</a>&nbsp;band
 may not be possible to resize. Some diamond rings have set diamonds that will
 be displaced when metal work is done.

Fourth Measuring Method

Another problem you may face
 is getting her the ring without her consent.Marriage&nbsp;<a href="https://www.petragems.com/blog/ways-to-give-a-promise-ring-to-your-girlfriend/">proposals or promise rings</a>&nbsp;are
 always the best when they come as surprises. But the challenge is how to get
 the perfect ring size.The following will help you.





Meet with her confidant

Meet her best friend or sister to help you with her ring
 size. They will help you with the measurements. Avoid asking more than one
 person because asking too many will allow her to get the news prematurely.

Use one of her Rings to
 get the Measurement

You can use one of her rings to measure if she has a
 jewelry collection, but if otherwise, be watchful of moments when she takes
 off her ring. Immediately she takes the ring off and quickly measures without
 her notice.

 
 All you need to do is to trace the ring out on a piece of paper or press the
 ring in a bar of soap.

Use Your Brain

To do this, you need to be smart and creative. All you need
 is a thread, string, or paper to measure while caressing her or when she is
 sleeping.

Take her to the Jewelry
 Store



You may wonder why this is
 coming in when I said it is better that you surprise her. Be relaxed; the ring
 is not for her.
Just take her to the ring section, where you can get casual rings, and tell her
 you want to get one for your sister or mom. Allow her to test it on her fingers
 and be watchful of the ring that sizes her perfectly.
 



I am sure, at this point, you have gotten all the necessary details required to
 figure out the ring size.
You now understand the process of measuring ring sizes, what you need to know
 before you measure the ring size, and the tops that can make measuring the ring
 size very easy.&nbsp;
