How to Measure Ring Size at Home

Determine how to measure your ring size - without leaving your home!  Life can get busy, and you won't always have time to head to a local jeweler to get the correct ring size needed for your upcoming milestone. "How do I know my ring size?" and "What are wedding ring size ranges?" are very common questions but don't worry, we can help! Whether you're searching for a wedding band, engagement ring, or anniversary gift, finding your ring size doesn't have to be complicated. There's a handful of helpful ways to get your ring size online with printable size charts, tape measure, ring sizer tools, and a pen and piece of paper. 

1. Printable Size Charts: Many jewelry websites offer printable ring size charts that you can use to determine your size. Simply print out the chart, follow the instructions for measuring, and match your ring to the corresponding size on the chart.

2. Tape Measure: If you have a flexible tape measure at home, you can use it to measure the circumference of your finger. Wrap the tape measure around the base of your finger where you intend to wear the ring and note the measurement in millimeters.

3. Ring Sizer Tools: There are various ring sizer tools available for purchase online or at craft stores. These tools typically consist of a series of plastic or metal rings in different sizes. You can try on different rings until you find one that fits comfortably on your finger, indicating your ring size.

4. Pen and Paper: Another simple method is to trace the inside and outside of a ring that already fits you well onto a piece of paper. Measure the diameter of the inside circle and compare it to a ring size chart to determine your size.

It's important to note that different fingers may have different sizes, so it's best to measure the specific finger you plan to wear the ring on. Additionally, factors such as temperature and time of day can affect finger size, so it's a good idea to measure your finger at different times to ensure accuracy.

While these methods can help you determine your ring size at home, if you're unsure or want additional assurance, you can also take advantage of services like the free ring sizing kit offered by Barrel Arts. This ensures that your wedding ring will have the optimal fit and feel on your finger, enhancing your overall comfort and satisfaction.

By following these simple steps, you can confidently find your ring size without leaving the comfort of your home, ensuring that your upcoming milestone is celebrated with a perfectly fitting ring.

 

WHAT IS THE WEDDING RING'S WIDTH?

When choosing a wedding band size, it's important to consider the width that best suits your preference. Wedding band widths typically range from 2mm to 10mm. The average men's wedding band width is around 8mm, while the average women's wedding band width is about 6mm.

However, there is a wide variety of options available, from thinner womens wedding bands at 4-6mm to wider mens rings at 6-8mm, this plays a part on the fit and feel on your finger. The choice of width can also depend on hand size, with thinner bands being suitable for smaller hands and wider bands complementing larger hands. 

Ultimately, the selection of the wedding band width is a personal preference and will effect the ring size needed. The average width is 8mm which many customers find to be the most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing option.

A well-fitting wedding ring feels secure but not too tight. It won't easily slip off, but it should move comfortably past your knuckle. To visualize the width of your wedding ring, using nickels is a good indicator.
