You’ve finally picked out the perfect ring and it’s time to check out but you just realized you don’t know your partner’s ring size! Don’t worry, we can help you out with some tips and tricks for measuring your partner’s ring size, or your own when you treat yourself!
How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
First and foremost we recommend visiting your local jeweler to measure your ring size. But if you can’t make it in, there are ways to measure your ring size right from your own home!
Try Our Plastic Ring Sizer
We offer a unisex plastic ring sizer on our site, ready to ship to you! Just follow the instructions below and check out this TikTok where we show you!
- Pull end of sizer through the clip to emulate a ring
- Slip sizer over your finger
- Pull the sizer taut, seeing some resistance when moving the sizer over your knuckle
- The number the arrow is pointing to is your ring size
The String Method
You can measure your ring at home with a piece of string. Floss works great too.
- Wrap a piece of string or floss around the finger you’ll wear the finger on
- Mark with a pen where the string overlaps around your finger
- Measure the string in millimeters
- A quick Google image search of “Ring Sizing Chart” will lead you to an endless amount of conversion charts to convert the measurement of your string to a ring size
Find Your Partner’s Ring Size & Keep the Ring a Surprise
If you’re trying to keep the proposal a secret we know a few ways to find out your partner’s ring size.
- Try asking friends or family members...maybe they’ve talked about it!
- Take a ring they currently wear (on their ring finger) and take it to a jeweler to be sized, or measure the inner diameter of the ring and use a ring sizing chart online, just like the string method.
- Reach out to our service team at info@alexisrussell.com with your partner’s height, weight and shoe size and we can provide you with an estimated ring size.
If you really can’t find your answer, order the ring on the larger side so the ring will fit on their finger when you propose and they can take that Instagram-worthy photo of their hand...and maybe be featured on our Instagram! #ARVow
Tips & Tricks for Measuring Your Ring Size
