How to Measure Ring Size at Home
There are a few easy tricks to get a fairly accurate idea of your ring size at home. One way is to find an existing ring that fits correctly on the exact finger you want to measure. Then, you’ll match the inside edge of that ring to the correct diameter on a printable ring size chart. You can also separately measure the inner edge of the ring and use that number (in millimeters) to determine the correct ring size. If you don’t have a ruler, you can also use a strip of paper or a string to measure your ring finger.

Ring Sizing Tips
The average ring size for women is a 6, while the average ring size for men is an 8, but this can vary considerably based on the person’s build. Here are a few things you should consider to ensure an optimal fit:
- Use an existing ring that fits correctly on the finger that you want to measure.
- Be sure to account for the width of bands or stacking rings.
- Ensure the rings fit comfortably and are snug enough to stay on but loose enough to fit over your knuckle.
- Remember that engagement and wedding bands are traditionally worn on the left-hand ring finger, while fashion rings can be worn on any finger on either hand.
Ring resizing
When a ring doesn’t fit a finger well may need to be resized. It's usually best to buy a ring a bit larger, since sizing down is much less complicated. How much does it cost to size a ring? Since jewelers have to add more material, it typically costs more to make a ring larger than to reduce its size.
How to Resize a Ring
Jewelers use various methods to resize rings. If the ring is too big, they will remove a small portion of the shank. If the ring isn’t big enough, jewelers will typically cut the bottom of the ring and add a tiny piece of metal to the shank.
