In European countries, the ring size is the circumference of the ring and is indicated on the tag by a two-digit number 50, 52. 60 We remind you that it is best to find out the size from a specialist. If you get the wrong size, there is a risk that the ring will either not fit on your finger or will be too big. But there are a couple of simple ways to find out your ring size at home if you have a ring.

How to find out your ring size if you have a ring
Take a piece of jewelry that you already have, circle the inside of the ring, and measure it with a ruler. For example, it turns out 1.6 cm or 16 mm – this will be the size of the ring. If you want to size another person’s ring without them knowing, then using one of their rings may be a good option. If you’re worried about them noticing the ring is missing, you can always use their ring to draw a circle on paper inside the ring before returning it. You can then use this with the sizing guide, cutting out the circle you drew as neatly as possible.

You may have to get a little more creative and base your ring size on your existing jewelry. Jewelers use an old trick that works well if done correctly.

If you use this estimate, you may want to size up when ordering your ring, just in case – the jeweler will be able to resize the ring so it fits perfectly!

When choosing wedding rings, buyers usually face two questions: what kind of ring do I want and will it suit me, and how not to make a mistake with the size. To choose the right size for a wedding ring, you must first of all keep in mind that the size of your finger changes depending on the weather (summer/winter, hot/cold, wet/dry) and time of day. Therefore, measuring, for example, cold fingers does not give accurate results, since fingers become narrower in the cold. It is impossible to correctly determine the size of your finger after taking a shower, after playing sports, carrying heavy bags, or consuming a lot of liquid. Therefore, to correctly determine the size, we advise you to avoid the above loads and determine the size at the end of the working day, when the fingers have reached their typical thickness. So, you are in the store. The first thing you need to be prepared for is that the ring size indicated on the tag may differ from the actual size. The size can vary in both directions and reach up to 0.4mm. That is, having tried on a wedding ring in store “A”, you may be surprised that in store “B” a ring of the “same” size will not be enough for you. And the cheaper the rings, the greater the likelihood of getting the wrong size. This is especially true for stores that offer a full range of sizes for several models. 
Secondly, you need to keep in mind that you need to determine the size on the rings of the width that you will wear. So, if you want to buy or order a wedding ring with a width of 10mm, and you are trying on a ring with a width of 4-5mm, then you need to keep in mind that you will need to add 0.5mm to the size, since a ring of this width will no longer sit next to the joint, but it will “run into” the phalanx, where the size is completely different. For such cases, the rule should be the following: if the ring has a width of 4-5mm, then on wider rings, for every 1mm of ring width, add 0.1mm of size. Third, ring sizes are highly dependent on the internal profile of the ring. In Russia, the vast majority of wedding rings are made with a flat internal profile, while imported ones mainly have a convex round shape, called “comfort fit”. With this profile shape, even large-width rings fit much more comfortably, do not cut into the skin when the fingers swell, and most importantly, if the hands get better with age, then the inner surface of such rings can be polished to the desired size, which is especially important for wedding rings with diamonds that cannot be enlarged by other means. Therefore, if you are measuring a ring with a flat internal profile, and want to order a ring with a “comfort fit”, then you need to subtract 0.1mm from the size (for rings with a width of 4-6mm), and add 0.1mm if you are measuring a “comfort fit”, and you will order a flat internal profile. If you are faced with a choice between two sizes, choose the larger one if the internal profile is flat, and the smaller one if it is a “comfort fit”. 
A few words about the thickness (height) of the ring. In modern European rings, the average thickness is 1.8-2.1mm and is determined by the physical height of the diamonds set in the ring, as well as care for the client. Rings of this thickness are easy to stretch when they are without stones, and easy to polish from the inside to increase the size of a diamond engagement ring, unlike our “classics” with an average thickness of 1.2mm, which will tear or lose shape even with an increase of 0.2mm in diameter, and talking about the strength of which is not possible. Very often we hear discussions about the inconvenience of thick (high) rings. So here it is. As a rule, such questions arise only with rings with a rectangular profile; this does not apply to sloping ones. In addition, you usually do not walk with clenched fists, but with a relaxed hand, where the thickness does not interfere. The ring is located at the joint, where the thickness of the finger is thinner, and accordingly does not protrude much above the level of the finger. And finally, it is a matter of habit. Comments from many owners of thick rings: a couple of hours and everything is in order, but when you take it off, something is missing. Speaking about how to choose an engagement ring, and we give practical advice, we should note the following: 
- On long thin fingers (14.0-15.7) either narrow rings 2.5-3.5mm wide or wide 8-10mm look good. An average width of 4-6mm may or may not be suitable. It depends on individual preferences and the structural features of the finger.
- On long, thick fingers (starting from size 17.5), wide rings 7-8mm wide will look great.
- For short narrow and short thick fingers there is only one rule – narrow rings 2.5-3.5mm wide.
- On fingers of medium length and medium size (15.7-17.5), the optimal ring width is 4.5-6mm.
- If your joint is wider than your finger at the base (30% of all buyers), then when choosing a ring you should proceed from how wide you want the ring. If the ring is narrow, it should fit through the joint with difficulty (within reasonable limits) so that it does not dangle at an angle on the finger. If it is wide, it should fit freely over the joint; it will fit well on the finger anyway.
Naturally, these are general rules, to which there may be exceptions. The best thing to do is try on several types of rings to see what really suits you. All discussions on the topic of curved, concave or flat rings, longitudinal patterns or curved shapes that supposedly “conceal the thickness of the fingers” are from the evil one. Forget it. All these details are purely individual. The choice of wedding rings must be approached consciously, since this is the only thing that you will wear constantly and probably throughout your life. An engagement ring should not be annoying, and you should feel comfortable wearing it. And, dear brides, if you want your husband to wear the ring all the time and not take it off, do not impose your opinion on him, especially regarding the similarity of the rings, let it be his choice, in the end, it is he who wears this ring, not you .
- Take a string or a strip of paper and a ruler.
- Wrap the lace around your finger in the place where the ring will be. There should be enough space for the widest part of your finger to fit through the lace.
- Mark the connection point on the lace. Unfold and measure with a ruler. We compare the obtained result with the 2nd column of the Size Correspondence Table below (the length of the inner circumference of the ring in millimeters).
