How to Find Your Ring Size at Home (2-Minute Guide)

Ordering a ring online is easy — once you know your size. Here are two reliable ways to measure at home, no special tools required.

Method 1: Measure a ring you already own

Take a ring that fits the intended finger well. Measure the inside diameter in millimeters with a ruler, and match it to the chart below.

Method 2: The string method

Wrap a strip of paper or a piece of string snugly around the base of your finger. Mark the point where it overlaps, then measure the length in millimeters — that’s your circumference.

Three tips for a perfect fit

Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are at their largest. If you’re between sizes, size up — a slightly loose ring is more comfortable than a tight one. And wider bands fit more snugly, so consider a half size up for wide designs.

Buying a ring as a gift?

Borrow a ring they already wear (from the correct finger!) and measure its inside diameter — or trace its inner circle on paper. And remember: every Art For Light ring comes with 30-day returns and easy size exchanges, so a surprise gift is never a risk.
