get the perfectly sized ring

Your engagement ring should be a snug fit, not too tight, but also not too loose. An ideal engagement ring fits loose enough to slide smoothly over your knuckle and tight enough so it doesn't fall off your finger.

For ladies, the standard ring size varies from 3 to 9. Sizes 5 to 7 are the most commonly purchased, with size 6 being the most frequent.

For men, sizes 6 to 13 are the typical ring size ranges. Sizes 8 to 10-½ are most commonly purchased, with size 9 being most frequent.

Here are a few ways to measure your ring size.

Method 1

Measure your ring size with string/thread & ruler at home

Follow these steps :
  • Take the string or thread piece and circle it around the base of your finger.

  • Take the measurement of the thread or string in mm using a ruler.
  • Choose the nearest measurement provided in the ring size chart to know your ring size.

Some tips to keep in mind :
  • If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, you must measure both the spots and choose a size between both the measurements.
  • Always assess your ring size with warm fingers. Your ring size can change based on daytimes and weather conditions. For example, early mornings and chilly weather can lead to shrinking fingers, making it a not-so-ideal time to measure your finger ring size. Also, note that your dominant hand has larger fingers.
  • Measure your ring finger more than once for accuracy.

Method 2

Measure an existing ring

  • Measure the inside of another ring that fits you comfortably using a measuring tape.
  • You must ensure that the ring fits your finger comfortably. It should be as tight as not to fall from your finger but loose enough to glide over your knuckle easily.

If you're planning a surprise for them, get help from friends and family. They can ask without raising any eyebrows.. Tell them to keep it hush-hush, so they don't accidentally ruin the surprise!
