How Do I Measure My Ring Size? | Shineers Ring Sizing Guide

Buying a ring online should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one. However, many people hesitate to make a purchase because they’re unsure about their ring size. At Shineers, we understand the importance of getting the fit just right. That’s why we've created this easy-to-follow guide to help you measure your ring size at home, using everyday tools.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or buying a gift, knowing your exact ring size ensures a better fit and greater comfort. Let’s explore all the accurate and convenient ways to find your ring size.

Why It’s Important to Get the Right Ring Size

A ring that’s too tight can feel uncomfortable, while a loose ring may slip off and get lost. The right size should slide on easily, fit snugly at the base of your finger, and require a little effort to take off. Choosing the correct size enhances not just comfort but also the visual appeal of your ring.

That’s especially important for pieces from Shineers, where thoughtful design and perfect fit meet minimalist elegance.

Methods to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

Here are the top three tried-and-tested ways to measure your ring size accurately from the comfort of your home.

1. String or Paper Strip Method

What You Need:

• A strip of paper or non-stretchy string

• A ruler with millimeter measurements

• A pen or marker

Steps:

1. Cut a thin strip of paper or a piece of string.

2. Wrap it snugly around the base of your finger.

3. Mark the point where the end overlaps.

4. Lay it flat and measure the length using a ruler.

5. Match the measurement with a ring size chart.

Pro Tip: If your knuckle is significantly wider than the base of your finger, measure both areas and choose a size in between for a comfortable fit.

2. Measure an Existing Ring

If you already have a ring that fits perfectly, you can use it as a guide.

Steps:

1. Place the ring on a flat surface.

2. Measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters.

3. Use the ring size chart below to find your corresponding size.

This method works well when buying for someone else, provided you have access to a ring they already wear on the intended finger.

3. Use a Ring Sizer Tool

A plastic ring sizer is a small, inexpensive tool that you can order online or from Shineers.

Steps:

1. Slip the tool onto your finger.

2. Adjust until it fits snugly.

3. Read the indicated size.

At Shineers, we offer complimentary ring sizers with select purchases. It’s a helpful tool to keep, especially if you love stacking or gifting rings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Measuring Ring Size

1. Measuring when your fingers are cold: Your fingers can shrink when cold, leading to inaccurate results. Measure at room temperature.

2. Measuring at night: Your fingers may swell during the day. Midday is ideal for accurate sizing.

3. Using stretchy materials: Avoid stretchy string or elastic. They can give you a smaller measurement than needed.

4. Ignoring your knuckles: If your knuckles are significantly larger, consider sizing up slightly for easier wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ring size the same for both hands?
No, your dominant hand is usually slightly larger. Always measure the finger you plan to wear the ring on.

What if I’m between two sizes?
Go for the larger size. It's easier to resize or adjust a slightly loose ring than a tight one.

Can I use a mobile app for sizing?
While apps exist, their accuracy can vary. Always verify with manual methods for best results.
