Find your ring size. Takes 2 minutes.

Method 1

String or paper strip

Best for first-time measuring. All you need is a thin strip of paper (or a piece of string) and a ruler.

1. 1

   Cut a strip

   Cut a thin strip of paper about 1 cm wide and 10 cm long. A non-stretchy string works equally well.

2. 2

   Wrap it around

   Wrap the strip snugly around the base of the finger you plan to wear the ring on. Don't wrap too tight. You want it comfortable, not cutting off circulation.

3. 3

   Mark the overlap

   Use a pen to mark exactly where the paper overlaps itself. That mark is your finger's circumference.

4. 4

   Measure

   Lay the strip flat against a ruler. The distance from the end to your mark (in mm) is your finger circumference. Match it to the chart below.

Method 2

Measure an existing ring

Already have a ring that fits? This is the fastest method.

1. 1

   Pick a ring that fits well

   Choose a ring you currently wear on the finger you want to size. Make sure it's a comfortable fit: not too tight, not slipping off.

2. 2

   Measure the inner diameter

   Place the ring on a flat surface. Use a ruler to measure the inside diameter of the ring (the empty space across the middle) in millimetres.

3. 3

   Look it up

   Find that diameter in the chart below to get your Indian and US ring size.

Sizes may vary slightly between manufacturers. When between sizes, go one size up.

Good to know

A few tips

• Fingers swell during the day, so measure in the evening for the most accurate fit.
• Your dominant hand's fingers are usually slightly larger. Measure the specific finger you'll be wearing the ring on.
• Temperature matters: fingers are smaller in cold weather. Measure at room temperature.
• If you're between sizes, size up. A ring that's slightly loose is easier to wear than one that's too tight.
• For wider bands (like a Cuban link), go half a size up. They fit tighter than slim bands.
