How to use a piece of string to measure your ring size.

1. Find a piece of string
2. Create a full circle by wrapping it around the correct finger
3. Use a pen to mark the point on the string where it overlaps
4. Use a ruler and measure the marked area in millimetres
5. Match the measurement to the circumference in the table

Tips

  • Remember it is the inside of the string you are measuring
  • If the measurement falls between, always go to the bigger size
  • Measure the chosen finger at the end of the day (when warmest)
  • Do not measure cold fingers
