How Do I Know My Ring Size? Simple Ways to Measure at Home

If you’re shopping for the perfect lovefromme.ie ring knowing your ring size is essential for a comfortable fit. Here’s how you can easily figure out your ring size at home, or downloading any ' ring sizer' app if you have a ring that fits you but you are not sure of the size.

1. Measure Your Ring Size at Home with String or Paper

The simplest way to measure your ring size at home is by using a piece of string, paper, or a thin strip of non-stretchable material.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Step 1: Cut a strip of paper or string about 20- 23mm long.
• Step 2: Wrap it around the base of your finger, making sure it fits snugly but comfortably.
• Step 3: Mark the spot where the string or paper overlaps.
• Step 4: Lay the string flat and measure the length in millimeters.
• Step 5: Use the ring size chart below or here to convert the measurement into your ring size.

Tip: Be sure to measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s warm, as your fingers tend to be slightly bigger later in the day.

2. Use a Ring Sizer

For a more accurate measurement, you can purchase an inexpensive ring sizer here. Ring sizers are very easy to use.

Simply slide the ring sizer over your finger and adjust it until it fits comfortably. The number on the sizer will indicate your ring size.

3. Measure a Ring You Already Own

If you already have a ring that fits the finger you’re measuring, you can use it as a reference and download any free 'ring sizer app' from your app store. If you can't download an app:

Here’s how:

• Place the ring that fits you  on a ruler or use a circular sizing tool.
• Measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters.
• Compare your measurement to the ring size conversion chart below or here to find your size.

FAQs About Ring Sizing

1. What if my ring doesn't fit when it arrives? That is no problem at all, you  can exchange for a different size. Just email info@lovefromme.ie to organise your exchange when you receive your order.  

2. Does my ring size change over time? Yes, factors like weight gain, weight loss, and temperature changes can affect the size of your fingers. It’s always a good idea to remeasure if you haven't done so in a while.

3. Should I size up or down if I’m between sizes or if I am a half size and the ring I want only comes in full sizes? It’s generally recommended to size up as rings that are too tight can be uncomfortable or hard to remove.

4. What if I’m buying a ring as a gift and don’t know the recipient’s size? You can try to borrow one of their rings and use the method mentioned earlier. If that’s not possible, you or they can always exchange for a different size if it doesn't fit. Just email info@lovefromme.ie to organise your exchange.
