How to measure your ring size

Interested in buying one of the rings on our site but unsure of your ring size?  No worries!  Here's a simple way to measure your ring size at home. 

1. Cut a piece of string and wrap it around your finger where you would like the ring to sit. Most often this would be just above where your fingers meets your hand.  Just like a ring, you want the string to be fitted but not tight.  Make sure that you would be able to slide the ring over your knuckle. 
2. Use a pen, marker, or sharpie to mark the spot on the string where it starts to overlap.
3. Use a measuring tape to determine the length of the string up to your mark in inches and compare that to the chart below.

Note: Please do keep in mind that the size of our fingers will change depending on the time of day, the temperature, etc.  If this is the first time you've measured yourself for a ring size, you may want to measure toward to the end of day and take a few measurements.  If you are feeling unsure about the process, you can buy inexpensive ring sizer tool online.
