How to Measure Your Ring Size (The Easy Way!)

How to Measure Your Ring Size (The Easy Way!)

Shopping online for rings is exciting—but if you're unsure about your size, it can turn into a guessing game. Getting the size wrong could mean dealing with returns, resizing, or worse—stuck with a ring that just doesn’t fit. That’s why knowing your correct ring size before you hit "add to cart" is a must.

At European Style, we want you to love every piece you wear, especially our adjustable and 18K gold-plated stainless steel rings. Let’s walk you through everything you need to know to find your perfect fit.

Why Ring Size Matters

A well-fitting ring should slide on comfortably but feel secure enough not to fall off. Whether it’s a dainty band or a chunky statement ring, size plays a big role in both style and comfort.

Pro Tips to Find Your Perfect Fit

1. Measure at the Right Time
Did you know your fingers change size throughout the day?
Here’s when to measure:

  • In the evening (when your fingers are a bit more relaxed)

  • Not right after working out or when your hands are cold

  • More than once—consistency is key!

2. Know What a Good Fit Feels Like
Your ring should:

  • Glide on with a little resistance over the knuckle

  • Feel snug but not tight

  • Come off without discomfort

Not Seeing Your Exact Size?

If your size isn’t listed, we suggest:

  • Choosing the closest available size

  • Or selecting adjustable rings (like many of our bestselling styles!) Always check the store’s return/exchange policy before committing to custom sizing.

Quick Sizing Tips for Special Ring Types

  • Wider Bands (7mm+): Go up half a size for US, one full size for UK/AU.

  • Knuckle-Friendly Fit: If your knuckle is bigger than your finger base, measure both and choose a size in between.

Global Sizing Note

Ring sizing systems differ worldwide:

  • AU/UK: Alphabetical (A-Z)

  • US/CA: Numerical

  • EU: Circumference in mm

Use a ring size conversion chart to cross-check measurements when shopping internationally.

4 Easy Ways to Measure Your Ring Size

1. Ring Sizer Kit (Most Accurate!)
Get a reusable ring sizing belt from a jeweller or order one online for spot-on accuracy.

2. Measure a Ring You Already Own
Trace or measure the inner diameter and match it to a size chart.

3. DIY Paper or String Method (Good for quick estimates)
Wrap a thin strip around your finger, mark where the ends meet, and measure that length.

4. Visit a Jeweller
For professional accuracy, head to your local jewellery store and ask for a ring sizing—you’ll thank yourself later!

Keep Track of Your Sizes

Once you know your size(s), write them down. Ring sizes don’t change often, but they might if your weight shifts or you develop arthritis. Recheck periodically.
