How to measure ring size at home

Finding the right finger ring size can be challenging, especially when purchasing something online. We rarely have to leave the house now because it's so easy to buy the best artificial jewellery in Dubai.

This article will help you to measure ring size accurately without visiting any jewellery shop. 

Size chart for rings

Ring sizes for adults in the United States are commonly found in a numeric (and fractional) range ranging from 3.5 to 13.5. Ring sizes for women are typically between 3 and 9, while ring size charts show that ring sizes for men are typically between 8 and 14. To put it another way, such measurements are exact in millimetres to the width of a human finger: The smallest possible finger circumference for a ring size 3 is 14 millimetres, and the sizes increase from there.

Women's ring sizes typically range from 5 to 7, but it's important to have an accurate measurement before making a large purchase, especially because engagement rings may be rather pricey.

Methods for determining appropriate sizing

There are a few things to remember before you measure your ring size. If your knuckle is larger than average, you should get half a size larger than what your finger alone implies to ensure the ring will fit properly when put on your finger.

Accuracy may be ensured by repeating the process many times. Since finger size varies with temperature, the Catbird website suggests taking several measurements. It may contract when you're cold and swell when you're hot.

You can use these three basic techniques to measure ring size at home: 

• Using a thread
• A ring sizer
• Use your own ring

1. Measure your finger with a thread

• Measure your finger with thread or floss if you choose.

• Wrap some thread or dental floss around the tip of your middle finger.

• Put a dot with a pen just where the floss or string overlaps the needle.

• Measure the string's length in millimetres by laying it down flat along a ruler or measuring tape.

• You may use a ring size chart to see whether your measurement is in the right ballpark, given that typical ring sizes increase by 0.4 mm every half size. To give you an idea, a ring size 3 is 14 millimetres in diameter, a ring size 3.5 is 14.4 millimetres, and a ring size 4 is 14.8 millimetres. Women often wear ring sizes 6 (16.5 mm), 6.5 (16.9 mm), and 7 (17.3 mm), whereas males typically wear sizes 10 (19.8 mm), 10.5 (20.2 mm), and 11. (20.6 mm).

• Do not pull string or floss too tightly, since they will break. If you do this, your calculated ring size may be higher than your actual finger size, making it impossible to wear the rings you buy.

2. Use a ring

• Get a ring that fits you like a glove.

• To measure ring size at home, print out a ring size chart and lay your ring on the circles until you locate one whose inner circumference is the same as your ring's.

3. Invest in your own ring sizer

• To get the most correct size finger ring, it's best to get your own ring sizer. They're inexpensive, and you can find a plethora of choices in the digital realm.

Tools for determining the correct size finger ring may take the form of either a small measuring tape or a keychain lined with a graduated series of ring sizes. You may use them as a guide when purchasing rings for other loved ones in the future.

If your fingers are rather thick, you should choose a ring with a broader band. Doing so will prevent the ring from feeling too big or seeming too small while worn. Selecting the next size up also facilitates resizing the ring at a later date. For more information on the best artificial jewellery in UAE, contact Tuforte today!
