How do I find out the ring size of my loved one?

We realize that you may not know the ring size for a given finger, and we want to help. We provide a printable ring sizer that can help you determine the appropriate ring size. Before printing, ensure that page scaling is set to "none" in your print dialog box.

Here are some tips to make your ring size measurement more accurate:

  • Confirm the printed paper size with a ruler.
  • Pull tightly. The sizer must fit snugly to produce an accurate size.
  • Don't measure cold fingers. This is when they are their smallest.
  • For the most accurate reading measure your finger at the end of the day when it is largest.

If the ring is for you, you can have your finger measured at any local department store that sells jewelry. If you are buying it for a loved one, then this is where it gets a little tricky! You may want to use one of these suggestions.

Borrow one of your partner's rings (from the correct finger). Use the Ring Sizer PDF on this website to determine the size.

Make an impression. If your partner has a habit of leaving any of their rings lying about, make an impression of one. A bar of soap, a piece of clay or even a piece of bread can be used to take a reliable measurement.

Trace the inside of an existing ring on a piece of paper. This can be used to determine an accurate measurement.

Try it on for size. Simpler still, just put one of your partner's rings on your finger. Push it down as far as it will go and mark the spot with a pen, or try remember how far down it measured. Then quickly get that part of your finger sized!

Talk to your partner's friends. A friend of your loved one can be of great assistance in this particular endeavor. It's not uncommon for one friend to ask another for their ring size as a matter of curiosity. But remember to pick the "secret-keeping" friend!

These will all be helpful tools that will send you on your way to the finding the perfect fitting ring! If all else fails, we are happy to send you a complimentary plastic ring sizer by filling out the below form here. Please allow 5 to 7 business days for your ring sizer to arrive.
