Ring Size Guide: How to Measure & Find Your Perfect Fit
Finding the right ring size is key to comfort, security, and everyday wearability. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or designing a custom piece for yourself, we’re here to help you get the fit just right.
At JC Jewelers, we want your ring to feel like it was made just for you—because it was.
How to Measure Ring Size at Home
You don’t need a jeweler’s tools to figure out your ring size. With a few simple materials, you can measure your finger and get a close estimate. Here’s how:
1. Use the String or Paper Method
- Cut a thin strip of paper or string (about 6 inches long).
- Wrap it around the base of the finger you want to size.
- Mark the point where the ends meet with a pen.
- Measure the length in millimeters using a ruler.
- Use our Ring Size Chart to match the measurement to the correct size.
2. Measure a Ring You Already Own
- Choose a ring that fits the finger you’re sizing.
- Measure the inside diameter in millimeters.
- Use our conversion chart to find the matching ring size.
Ring Sizing Tips
- Measure at the end of the day. Your fingers swell slightly throughout the day, so evening is best.
- Don’t measure when cold. Cold fingers can shrink, leading to underestimation.
- Check the knuckle. If your knuckle is much larger than the base of your finger, size up slightly.
- Use a ring sizer. Stop by our Jackson Hole store for a complimentary sizing.
Keep in mind that rings will fit differently depending on the width and style of the band. Try to use a sizer similar to the ring you are sizing for (or we can always do an adjustment).
How to Find Your Ring Size Without Them Knowing
Planning a surprise? Try one of these ideas:
- Ask their friend or family member (they might know already!).
- Borrow a ring they wear on the correct finger and measure its diameter.
- Trace the inner circle of their ring on a piece of paper when they’re not looking.
