Three Ways to Find Your Size
Whether you're shopping for yourself or surprising someone special, we've made finding the perfect fit effortless.
String or Paper Strip
The most reliable at-home method. All you need is a thin strip of paper and a ruler.
- Cut a thin strip of paper — about ¼ inch wide — or use a piece of string
- Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger you plan to wear your ring on
- Mark the point where the paper or string overlaps with a pen
- Lay it flat against a ruler and measure the length in millimeters
- Divide that number by 3.14 to find your diameter, then match to the chart below
Measure an Existing Ring
If you have a ring that already fits perfectly on the correct finger, this is the fastest method.
- Choose a ring that fits the correct finger comfortably
- Place it on a ruler and measure the inner diameter — across the inside of the band
- Note the measurement in millimeters
- Find that diameter in our size chart below to identify your US ring size
- If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up
Print Our Ring Sizer
No string or ruler handy? Our printable sizer has a circle for every half size, plus a ruler to check the print scale.
- Open the printable ring sizer and print at 100% scale, not "fit to page"
- Check the printed ruler against a real one before you measure
- Lay a ring that fits over the circles and match its inner edge
- If you're between two circles, choose the larger size

Sizing Tips Worth Knowing
Fingers swell slightly throughout the day from warmth and activity. Measuring in the evening gives you the most accurate everyday fit.
A slightly loose ring is comfortable; one that is too tight is uncomfortable and hard to remove. When in doubt, choose the larger half-size.
A band wider than 6mm sits differently on the finger and will feel tighter at the same size. For eternity bands, order one half-size up from your usual.
The hand you use most tends to be slightly larger due to muscle use. Always measure the specific hand and finger the ring will be worn on.
Cold weather contracts fingers; warmth expands them. Avoid measuring when hands are cold or after exercise. Room temperature is ideal.
Left and right ring fingers often differ in size. Always measure the exact finger — and hand — the ring will live on.
