Before you go out and buy a ring, the first thing you need to do is measure your finger size. Here are the steps:
- Get a piece of string or paper and wrap it around the base of your finger.
- Mark the point where the string/paper overlaps.
- Measure the length of the string/paper from the starting point to the overlapping point in millimeters.
- Use the chart below to determine your ring size based on the measurement.
Here's a quick tip: measure your finger size at the end of the day when your fingers are slightly larger due to swelling.
