How To Measure Ring Size With String, Paper & Ruler at home
Materials You’ll Need:
1. A piece of string, floss, or a strip of paper (about 6 inches long)
2. A ruler with millimeter markings (mm) for precise measurement
3. Pen or marker to mark the string or paper
Step-by-Step Guide
Method 1: Using a String
1. Wrap the String Around Your Finger: Take the string and wrap it around the base of the finger you want to measure. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight.
2. Mark the Meeting Point: Where the string meets itself around your finger, mark the spot with a pen or marker.
3. Measure the String: Lay the string flat and use a ruler to measure from the end to the marked point in millimeters.
4. Compare with a Ring Size Chart: Use our ring size chart to match your measurement with the corresponding ring size.
Method 2: Using a Strip of Paper
1. Cut a Thin Strip of Paper: Cut a strip of paper, about 1 cm wide and 6 inches long.
2. Wrap the Paper Around Your Finger: Similar to the string method, wrap the paper strip around the base of your finger, snugly.
3. Mark and Measure: Mark where the paper meets itself and then measure it with a ruler in millimeters.
4. Find Your Size on a Chart: Compare this measurement to a ring size chart.
Tips for Accurate Measurement
- Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are largest.
- Avoid measuring in cold temperatures, as fingers tend to shrink.
- If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
