It is important to know your exact ring size before buying a ring, especially online. You certainly don't want to receive a ring that doesn't fit your finger.
The good news is you can easily measure your ring size at home with very basic materials. All you need are a strip of paper, a pen and a ruler.
- Wrap the paper around the finger to be sized. Make sure the paper is below the joint of your finger and close to your knuckle.
- Mark the spot where the paper strip meets.
- Measure the distance with a ruler and then you get the circumference of your finger.
Then you can find your suitable ring size in the chart below.
