Introduction: A Perfect Fit Starts Here
Finding the right ring size is key to comfort and confidence, whether you're proposing, gifting, or treating yourself. And the good news? You don’t need to visit a jeweler to figure it out.
This guide walks you through the most accurate at-home methods to find your ring size, plus tips for getting it right the first time.
1. The String or Paper Strip Method
You’ll Need:
- A thin strip of paper or string
- A ruler (millimeters preferred)
- A pen or marker
Steps:
- Wrap the string or paper around the base of your finger.
- Mark where the ends meet.
- Lay it flat and measure the length in millimeters.
- Use a ring size chart to find your corresponding size.
Yoona Tip: Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are slightly swollen, it's more accurate.
2. Use a Ring You Already Own
Have a ring that fits the intended finger?
Steps:
- Print out a ring size chart (make sure it's to scale).
- Place the ring on each circle until you find the one that lines up perfectly with the inner edge.
Note: This works best for engagement rings or bands worn on the same hand.
3. Buy a Ring Sizer (or Ask Yoona for One!)
For maximum accuracy, order a plastic ring sizer online or contact us and we’ll send one.
Pros:
- Reusable, fast, and foolproof
- Great for surprise proposals
4. International Ring Size Conversion Chart
Shopping across countries? Sizes vary. Here’s a quick reference:
| US Size | UK | Europe | Japan | Inside Diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | J½ | 49 | 9 | 15.7 |
| 6 | L½ | 52 | 11 | 16.5 |
| 7 | N½ | 54 | 14 | 17.3 |
| 8 | P½ | 57 | 16 | 18.1 |
Yoona Pro Tip: If you're between sizes, go with the larger one. It’s easier to resize down than up.
5. Bonus Tips for Ring Sizing Success
- Don’t measure when your hands are cold, fingers shrink.
- Check fit by sliding the ring over the knuckle with slight resistance.
- Wider bands fit tighter; consider sizing up for chunky rings.
