Everything you need to know about measuring your ring size
Finding your ring size is easy. At Studio Kroewe, we want to make sure your jewelry fits perfectly. Whether you’re buying a ring for yourself or as a gift, getting the right size is key. In this guide, we’ll walk you through simple steps to measure your ring size. We’ll show you how to use a ring size chart and how to measure if you don’t have a ring that fits.
Why it’s important to know your exact ring size
Knowing your exact ring size is essential for comfort, safety, and a little peace of mind. A ring that fits properly prevents a variety of issues and ensures you can wear it with ease every day.
No discomfort: A ring that fits well won’t pinch or dig into your finger, preventing irritation and discomfort.
Prevents swelling: A tight ring can restrict blood flow, especially in hot weather or after exercise, causing swelling or discomfort.
Stays in place: With the right size, your ring stays on your finger where it belongs, reducing the risk of losing it.
Longer-lasting: Rings that fit properly are less likely to get damaged or bent out of shape.
And let’s be honest, a properly sized ring means you won’t have to worry about losing it, keeping both you and your partner happy. With the perfect fit, you can wear your ring confidently, knowing it will stay exactly where it belongs.
How to measure your ring size without a ring
Don’t have a ring that fits well? No problem! You can still measure your ring size using simple household items. Here’s how:
-
Use a strip of paper or a string: Cut a thin strip of paper or take a piece of string and wrap it around the base of your finger.
-
Mark the point where it overlaps: Once the paper or string is snug around your finger, mark where it overlaps.
-
Measure the length: Use a ruler to measure the length of the paper or string from the start to the mark.
-
Find your size: Use our ring size chart to match the measurement to the corresponding size.
This method allows you to measure your ring size at home with minimal effort. If you want to be sure you have the right size, you can order our ring sizer here.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my ring size is between two sizes?
If you're between two sizes, it's best to choose the larger size for added comfort. A slightly looser ring is usually better than a too-tight one, especially if your fingers swell a little during the day or in warmer weather. A looser fit will still be secure on your finger, and you won’t have to worry about any discomfort.
How can I be sure I measured my ring size correctly?
To ensure you're measuring accurately, it's recommended to measure your finger at the end of the day, as fingers tend to be slightly larger at that time. Measure a couple of times to confirm your size, and make sure the paper or string you’re using is snug but not too tight. Once you’ve measured, compare it to our ring size chart to make sure you’re selecting the right size. If you're still unsure, a quick visit to a jeweler for a professional sizing will give you extra confidence in your choice.
What if my finger is bigger in summer than in winter?
If your finger size changes between summer and winter, it’s best to measure your finger in both seasons. Fingers tend to get bigger in the heat and smaller in the cold. To be safe, measure your finger in the summer, when it’s at its largest, and choose that size.
