If you do not know the size of the ring, there are several ways to determine the size. Today we will tell you how to determine the size of the ring on the finger with the help of improvised tools at home.



If there is a ring of the appropriate size, put it on a piece of paper and circle it with a pen. Then measure the diameter of the ring to within a millimeter. How many millimeters, and the size of the ring. Note that the size of the ring is determined by steps (step is 5 mm). This means that if the diameter of the ring is 15.3 mm, then your ring size is 15.5 and so on. That's the first way.

If there is no ring, you can measure it with a thread, a strip of paper or a tape. It is important that the material does not stretch, otherwise it will not be possible to determine the size accurately. They usually use a strip of paper. Cut a narrow piece and wrap it around your finger in the joint. The joint is the widest place, some have more in volume than the phalanx, so if measured lower or higher, the ring may not fit.

In the place where the strip of paper intersects, mark with a pen or pencil. Now measure the length of the strip to the mark. And, attention, knowledge of mathematics here will be more useful than ever. Divide this number in mm by pi (3.14), and you will know your ring size.

Depending on the time of day, the fingers may swell. So the best time to measure is in the middle of the day. Also, the girth of the finger changes depending on temperature and weather conditions. It is better not to measure your finger after sports, walking in the heat or in the cold. Consultants in jewelry stores advise rounding the diameter of the circle in a smaller direction if you choose a narrow ring, and in a larger one if you want a wide one.
