In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to measure your ring size at home, cover how to check ring size in cm, and share practical tips for accurate results. Plus, we’ll include a ring size chart for both men and women, so you can feel confident when purchasing your next piece of jewelry from trusted sources like C6 Diamonds.

Why Knowing Your Ring Size Matters

Rings are more than just jewelry; they symbolize commitment, milestones, or personal style. Whether it's an engagement ring, wedding band, or a fashion piece, a proper fit is critical. A ring that's too tight can be uncomfortable, while a loose one might fall off.

That’s why it’s important to know how to measure ring size before buying or gifting a ring.

Tools You’ll Need to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

You don’t need special equipment. Just grab the following:

• A strip of paper or string
• A ruler (preferably with centimeter markings)
• A pen or pencil
• A printable ring size chart (optional)
  

Method 1: How to Measure Ring Size with Paper or String

If you’re wondering how to measure your ring size at home, this is one of the easiest ways.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Cut a strip of paper or string about 10–12 cm long.
2. Wrap it around the base of the finger where you plan to wear the ring.
3. Mark the point where the paper overlaps.
4. Lay it flat on a ruler and measure the length in centimeters (cm).
5. Use a ring size chart to match the measurement to the correct ring size.
   

Method 2: How to Measure Ring Size in cm

Measuring in centimeters can help determine your size accurately.

Here's how:

• After wrapping the paper/string around your finger and marking the overlap point, measure the internal circumference in centimeters.
• Let’s say your measured length is 5.7 cm (57 mm). According to most ring size charts, this would correspond to a US size 8.
  

Pro Tip: For best results, measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s at its largest. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as fingers can shrink slightly.

Method 3: Measure Using a Well-Fitting Ring

Already have a ring that fits perfectly? Here’s how to check ring size at home using it:

1. Place the ring on a ruler and measure the diameter of the inside circle in millimeters (mm).
2. Use that number to find your size on a ring size chart.
   

Example:

• If the internal diameter is 17.3 mm, that’s typically a US size 7.
  
  

How Do I Know My Ring Size Without Measuring?

If you're unable to measure physically, here are a few backup methods:

• Guess based on average sizes:
  

• For women, the average ring size is US 6–7.
  

• For men, it’s around US 9–11.
  

• Compare with a friend’s ring: If their ring fits you, ask their size.

Most men's rings at C6 Diamonds fall between sizes 8–13. If you’re unsure which to choose, go for the larger one—you can always resize later.

Tips to Get the Most Accurate Measurement

• Measure at room temperature – fingers swell and shrink with temperature.
• Repeat the process 2–3 times for consistency.
• Don’t pull the string too tight – the ring needs to slide over your knuckle.
• Account for knuckle size – if your knuckles are large, you might need to size up.
• Measure your dominant hand – it’s usually slightly larger.

Can Ring Sizes Be Adjusted?

Yes. If you happen to order the wrong size, many jewelers, including C6 Diamonds, offer resizing options depending on the ring’s material and design.

However, resizing is not always easy with intricate designs or eternity bands. So, knowing your accurate ring size before purchasing is key.

Conclusion

Knowing how to measure ring size correctly saves you from future resizing hassles and ensures your ring feels perfect from day one. Whether you're learning how to check ring size at home or figuring out how to determine ring size in cm, the process is simple and convenient.
