Buying any type of ring, whether it is a GIVA silver ring, a classic gold plated piece, or a meaningful men's chandi ring, should be exciting rather than stressful. Unfortunately, one small thing can turn an experience of joy into one that creates self-doubt: “What is my ring size?” 

If a ring fits too tightly, it can cause discomfort. If it fits loosely, the likelihood that it will come off increases. For those who are shopping online, guessing can feel like a complete gamble. The good news? You will have no more reason to rely on guessing.

In this guide, you will find four simple but effective ways you can determine your ring size with common tools and methods before purchasing. No matter if you are purchasing a women's ring, men's ring or GIVA ring as a gift for someone special, to make sure to get the correct size the first time you try it on.

Why Your Ring Size is Important When Buying Silver Jewellery and Gold Jewellery

Before we look at some methods for estimating your ring size, it’s important to clarify why ring size accuracy is important for buying silver jewellery or gold jewellery online.

When you find a beautiful ring, it should fit your ring finger perfectly. Also, the ring doesn’t rotate excessively, and slides off only with gentle resistance. The precious metal of gold and silver does not  stretch, so resizing will add additional costs and time.

The difference in ring sizes for women’s and mens rings is based on the width of the bands, style of the rings and the shape of each person’s finger. So, knowing your exact size will ensure your comfort, fit, and confidence in your purchase.

How to Measure Your Ring Finger Size at Home Without an Existing Ring

Perfect Silver ring for women

This is an excellent way to measure your finger size if you don't have an existing ring. This method works well for both men's and women's rings. Regardless of whether you are buying silver or gold.

You can use the following to measure your ring finger size:

1. A strip of paper or some type of non-stretching string

2. A ruler (preferably, in millimetres)

How to Measure Your Ring Size

First, wrap the paper or string tightly around the base of your ring finger.

Next, mark the point where the paper or string overlaps.

Once you've made that mark, lay the paper or string out flat and measure it in millimetres.

You will find your size by comparing the measurement to a ring size chart.

Tips to Ensure Accurate Ring Finger Measurement

- Measure your finger after you have been standing or walking for a while, as your finger will be somewhat larger than it was when it was initially measured.

- Do not measure your finger when your hands are cold, because your fingers will be smaller than when your hands are warm.

- Do not wrap the thread too tightly - it will be uncomfortable and restrict circulation.

Using this method to select a GIVA silver ring to wear every day will give you the opportunity to have a beautiful piece of jewellery.

Use a Measuring Tape or Phone Ruler App to Find Your Ring Size at Home

Although other methods allow you to measure your ring finger using a soft measuring tape (like those used in tailoring) is one of the best options to measure your ring finger at home. You can use this method for normal day-to-day silver rings, and lightweight gold rings.

If you do not have a dressing tape on hand, there are built-in ruler / measurement apps available in almost all modern phones, which provide a reliable option if used carefully.

How to Use a Soft Measuring Tape to Determine Your Ring Size?

1. Gently wrap the soft measuring tape around your ring finger at the base.

2. Make sure it is not too loose, and you can still slightly slide the tape.

3. Write down the measurement in mm.

4. Using the appropriate-sized ring size chart, determine your size with this measurement.

How to Use a Phone Ruler/Measurement App ?

1. Lay down your finger flat and measure the width of the base of your finger.

2. Then convert it into a size using a reliable ring size chart.

Things to Avoid When Buying An Online Silver Ring

Even while using proper measurement tools, minor mistakes might impact the fit of the ring being purchased.

Mistakes in Determining a Ring Size

-Sizing of fingers should occur in the morning (being swollen, during depriving yourself of alcohol).

-Everyone's finger varies slightly; allow for the width of the band to affect its size.

-When purchasing a `surprise` gift (you should have a frame of reference when sizing someone's finger)

-Using thread to measure the circumference of your finger might result in an inaccurate measurement.

By avoiding these mistakes, you will make sure that your GIVA silver ring or Women’s ring fits nicely from the first day of purchase.

How Ring Sizes Differ Between Men And Women?

Whenever you consider sizing a ring, think about how a ring for men can be larger than a ring for women. Because of the fact it may require going half a size up. Meanwhile, minimal rings for women usually fit closer to standard measurements.

When fitting a chandi (traditionally gold/silver) mens ring or another bold silver mens style, comfort fit is essential. Therefore obtaining an accurate size has never been more critical.
