Finding the perfect ring size is crucial, whether you're planning to buy a stunning engagement ring, a birthday gift, or simply treat yourself. While GIVA jewellery stores and apps offer sizing services, you can easily measure your ring size at home with just a few simple tools. This blog post will guide you through various methods to make sure you get an accurate measurement without any hassle.
What Is Ring Size?
Ring size refers to the measurement of the inner circumference of the ring. This measurement varies across different countries and can be expressed in various units, such as millimetres, or in numerical systems like the US, UK and Indian sizes. Understanding your ring size is essential for comfort and style, so that your ring fits snugly without being too tight or loose.
Why Measure at Home?
Measuring your ring size at home offers convenience especially if you're planning a surprise or don’t have immediate access to a jeweller. Additionally, it is a cost-effective solution that can save you time and effort.

Methods to Measure Ring Size at Home
Method 1: Using a Ring You Already Own
Tools Needed:
A ring that fits comfortably on the finger you want to measure
A ruler or a measuring tape
Steps:
- Select the Right Ring: Choose a ring that you wear on the same finger you want to size.
- Measure the Inner Diameter: Place the ring on a flat surface and use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the inner diameter from one side to the other. Make sure to measure the wider part.
- Convert to Size: Use a ring size chart to convert the diameter measurement into a ring size. Most charts will have both millimetre measurements and corresponding sizes.
Method 2: Using a String or Paper Strip
Tools Needed:
A piece of string, dental floss, or a strip of paper
A ruler or measuring tape
A pen (optional)
Steps:
- Wrap the String: Take the string or paper and wrap it around the base of the finger you want to measure. Make sure it's snug but not too tight.
- Mark the Point: If using paper, mark the point where the string overlaps. If using string, you can simply cut it at the point where it meets.
- Measure the length: Lay the string or paper flat and measure its length with a ruler.
- Find Your Size: Compare the length to a ring size chart to determine your size. The measurement in millimetres corresponds to the size you need.
Tips for Accurate Measurement
- Measure at the Right Time: Fingers can swell or shrink based on temperature, time of day, and activity level. For the most accurate measurement, measure when your fingers are at a normal temperature—typically in the evening.
- Try Multiple Methods: If you have time, try measuring with different methods to cross-verify your size. This can help to get accuracy.
- Consider the Ring Width: Wider rings may feel tighter, so if you’re purchasing a wider band, consider going up half a size for comfort.
- Consult a Sizing Chart: Always refer to our ring sizing chart from our app after taking your measurements. This can help you confirm your size based on the measurements you've gathered.
