So, what are the most popular ways of determining the right ring size?

First of all, we highly recommend you to go to the local jeweler who will tell you the accurate and correct ring size. It is the most tried and true way of doing this.

But if you want to surprise somebody, then here is the best advice.

1 WAY

Take a ruler and size the diameter of the ring.

2 WAY

Put the ring on the piece of paper and circle its borders with a pen. Then take a ruler and measure the diameter of the band.

3 WAY

You can print a template sheet in different sizes and then attach the ring to one of the more or less suitable circles to determine the size! BUT, you need to be sure that the scale is right.

4 WAY

Take a thick thread or a strip of paper, wrap it around your finger below the joint, cut off the ends, mark them and measure with a ruler. BUT, there is also a risk that the thread can squeeze the finger too much and the paper, on the contrary, can add more millimeters.

5 WAY

The most controversial theory is finding out the ring size by the size of the clothes. But practice absolutely does not justify these data. So, we recommend not to experiment on that because the result can be disappointing.
