The proper fit is as important as the ring itself
A ring is a very personal piece of jewelry to wear or gift someone. It can represent many things, and typically it has a strong emotional value to the wearer. And so whether you are buying an engagement ring, wedding ring, or promise ring, it helps to know how to get the proper ring size.
Why getting a properly fitted ring is important
One of the most commonly unknown factors when getting a ring is ring size - and it happens to be just as important as the ring itself. Shopping for rings (especially online) can be tricky if you don't know what size to get—and buying the wrong-sized ring can be a hassle. You wouldn't want a ring that's too big, or it won't properly stay in place. Even worse, it can get lost. You wouldn't want a ring that's too tight either, as that would be uncomfortable for the wearer. So how do you get the correct ring size? We've rounded up three (3) options to help you out!
Option 1: The String Test
- Cut a small piece of string, thread, or ribbon from a spool.
- MEASURE: Wrap it snugly around your finger for an accurate measurement.
- DETERMINE: Compare your measurement with our sizing chart. CLICK HERE!
- Tip: Be careful not to wrap the string too tightly. Aim for a comfortable, snug fit.
- Tip: For the most accurate size, have someone help you measure.
- CHECK: Double-check for accuracy.
Option 2: The Paper Test
- Print and carefully cut out our paper ring sizer below.
- Cut along the dotted line marked "Find your size" to make a slit.
- Slip the pointed end through the slit and place the ring sizer around your finger.
- MEASURE: Pull the pointed end so it slides to a snug fit.

- Tip: Be careful not to wrap the paper too tightly. Aim for a comfortable, snug fit.
- Tip: For the most accurate size, have someone help you measure.
