So, how do you measure finger size?What are some ways to do this?This article will introduce you to several simple and practical ways to measure the size of your fingers, as well as a comparison table and precautions for ring size, hoping to help you choose a ring that you are satisfied with.
This is the easiest and most commonly used way to measure the size of your fingers, requiring only a string or a strip of paper, and a ruler. The specific steps are as follows:
Wrap a string or strip of paper around the finger on which the ring is to be worn, taking care not to be too tight or too loose so that it glides smoothly through the knuckles.
Make a mark at the intersection of a string or strip of paper, then unfold it and measure its length with a ruler to get the circumference of your finger.
Depending on the circumference of the finger, you can find the corresponding ring number by comparing the chart of ring sizes. For example, the circumference of a finger is 54 cm, corresponding to the ring number 11.
If you already have a suitable ring but don't know its exact size and number, you can measure it with the following methods:
Place the existing ring on a blank piece of paper and use a pencil to trace the inner ring of the ring on the white paper, being careful not to include the outer ring of the ring.
The inner diameter of the ring is obtained by measuring the diameter of the circle drawn with a ruler.
According to the inner diameter of the ring, you can find the corresponding ring number by comparing the comparison table of the ring size. For example, the inner diameter of the ring is 17 cm, corresponding to the ring number 12.
If you want to get a more accurate finger size, you can use a professional ring ruler to measure it. A ring ruler is a tool similar to a keychain that has different numbers of rings on it, and you can put it on your finger to find the most suitable one, which is your ring number. You can buy a ring ruler at a jewelry store, online, or go to a jewelry store and have a professional measure it for you.
There are different standards and units for ring sizes, and the common ones are Hong Kong style, international style, American style, etc. Different standards correspond to different diameters and girths, so when choosing a ring, you need to pay attention to the distinction. Here's a comparison table of commonly used ring sizes for your reference:
When measuring finger size, there are also a few things to keep in mind:
The size of the finger can be affected by factors such as temperature, time, weight, etc., so it is recommended to measure it in the afternoon or evening of the day, when the size of the finger is the largest and most stable. At the same time, it is advisable to average multiple measurements to avoid errors.
If your finger size is between two numbers, it is advisable to choose the larger number so that it does not become too tight and uncomfortable to wear. If the ring you're buying is wide-brimmed or gemstone-set, it's also advisable to choose a larger number, as these will take up more finger space.
If the ring you're buying is for someone else as a gift, you can try getting their finger size by asking their family or friends.
In addition to the above methods, you can also use a professional ring measuring instrument to measure your finger size. A ring measuring instrument is an instrument similar to a blood pressure monitor that accurately measures the diameter and girth of a finger. You can buy a ring measuring instrument at some jewelry stores or online, or you can go to a jewelry store and ask a professional to measure it for you. The specific steps are as follows:
Place the bladder of the ring gauge over the finger on which you want to wear the ring, then press the switch to inflate the bladder until you feel a slight squeeze on your finger.
Looking at the display of the ring measuring instrument, you can see the diameter and circumference of the finger, as well as the corresponding ring number. For example, a finger diameter of 176 mm with a circumference of 553 mm, corresponding to the ring number 14.
Press the switch, let the airbag deflate, and then remove the ring gauge to complete the measurement.
