If you’re planning the perfect proposal, one of the key elements aside from getting the perfect ring is that you get the perfect ring size. After all, a ring that’s too tight or too loose can take away from the magic of the moment and create unnecessary stress. Not to mention the hassle of having to visit a jeweler for resizing afterwards!
That’s why knowing how to measure your ring size accurately is important – whether you’re shopping for an exquisite emerald-cut diamond engagement ring or looking into simple women’s wedding rings. Let’s explore several different methods that make it easy to determine your correct ring size. So whether you’re planning a surprise proposal, browsing shops together, or shopping online for the perfect ring, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to ensure that the ring fits just right when that big moment arrives.
The String Method
The string method is a simple yet effective way to measure ring size. Take a piece of string, a thread from your sewing kit, a piece of dental floss, or a thin paper and wrap it around the base of the finger where the ring will sit. Make sure it’s comfortably tight but not too loose. Once you’ve done that, mark the point where the string or paper overlaps. Then, carefully remove it from the finger and measure the length with a ruler. Measure in millimeters and use a ring size chart online to determine your size.
Use a Tape Measure
After using the string method, you can also double-check your measurement with a tape measure to ensure the right size of the cathedral diamond engagement ring. Wrap the tape measure around the base of your finger, making sure it’s not too loose or too tight. Mark the overlapping point and then compare your finger size to a ring size chart.
Get a Ring Sizer Tool
Another option to get the perfect fit for your crescent diamond solitaire engagement ring is to use a ring sizer tool which you can get from jewelry stores. This tool has a number of rings in different sizes. Place the ring sizer on your partner’s finger and choose the size that fits comfortably. Make sure to measure at the end of the day when their fingers are at their largest for the most accurate result. If the size is in between ring sizes, it’s best to size up.
