How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home (Accurately & Easily)
📌 Why Ring Size Matters
Whether gifting a beautiful Miraculous Medal ring or choosing a sacramental piece for yourself, getting the right fit ensures comfort, security, and elegance. Let’s walk through a few methods to measure your ring size without visiting a jeweler—perfect for our online shoppers!
✨ Method 1: Use a String or Paper Strip
What You’ll Need:
-
A thin strip of paper or a piece of non-stretchy string
-
A ruler with millimeters
-
A pen or fine marker
Steps:
-
Wrap the paper or string around the base of your finger.
-
Mark where the ends meet with your pen.
-
Measure the length from the start to the mark using your ruler.
-
Compare the circumference to a ring size chart. (Example: 54mm = US size 7)
💡 Measure your finger at the end of the day when it's slightly swollen for the best fit. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as they may shrink slightly.
✨ Method 2: Use a Ring You Already Own
What You’ll Need:
-
A well-fitting ring
-
A ruler or caliper (ideally in mm)
Steps:
-
Place the ring on a flat surface.
-
Measure the internal diameter of the ring (not the outer edge).
-
Use a sizing chart to match the diameter to the ring size. (Example: 17.3mm = US size 7)
✨ Method 3: Downloadable Ring Sizer Tools
Many jewelry websites offer printable ring sizer guides. These allow you to:
-
Place an existing ring over the circles to find your size
-
Cut out a ring-measuring ruler to wrap around your finger. U.S. Ring Size Chart (Quick Reference)

If you're between sizes, opt for the larger one.

You should go up half a size for wide bands for comfort.
