We all love the notion of going shopping for our rings, but we don't stop to think that we also need to know our finger sizes before making that final purchase. Since rings are not always purchased with the wearer available to be measured, such as in surprise proposals, there needs to be a way to find a person's ring size.
- Our finger size changes all of the time, so don’t panic if you are measured for a size 6 and the next week you are a 6.5 or 7. Our hands are affected by weather, time of day, before or after a workout, if we had just ate and so on.
- Getting fingers measured can be done as easily as visiting a local jeweler or downloading a ring sizer from online and cutting out the appropriate measuring tools. (Click here for a ring sizer PDF.)
- Different countries may have different measurement scales so do not assume a size 10 is the same in France as it is in the U.S. Measure your finger in the country you are having the rings made in, or check for proper conversion.
- For those trying to surprise a partner with a ring, another way to get their finger sized other than asking a friend or relative would be to bring an existing ring of theirs to a jeweler and have that sized. Word of caution: know which finger that ring is normally worn on. Each of our fingers is a different size and there is no common way of knowing differences between different people’s finger sizes.
