How to Know Your Ring Size
Dear,
If you’ve ever seen a beautiful ring and thought “I love it, but… what if it doesn’t fit?”, this one is for you. Choosing the right ring size doesn’t have to be complicated, and today I want to explain it the same way I would to a friend: simple, clear, and stress-free.
Because yes, rings are that detail that elevates any look, but only when they fit just right.
Why knowing your ring size matters
A ring that’s too big spins around and feels insecure. One that’s too small can be uncomfortable (or simply won’t go on). When you know your size:
-
You shop with more confidence
-
You avoid unnecessary exchanges
-
You enjoy your pieces from day one
And if you shop jewelry online, like many of us do, this becomes even more important.
Method 1: Measure a ring you already own (the easiest way)
This is my favorite method because it’s quick and drama-free.
-
Find a ring you already wear on the finger where you want the new one
-
Measure the inner diameter (straight across, inside the ring)
-
Compare that measurement to a ring size chart
Friend tip: use a ruler in millimeters and take your time. A couple of millimeters really do make a difference.
Method 2: Measure your finger at home
If you don’t have a ring to use as reference, this works just as well.
-
Take a flexible measuring tape, string, or strip of paper
-
Wrap it around your finger (snug, not tight)
-
Mark where it meets
-
Measure the length in millimeters
That number is your finger’s circumference and can be easily converted into a ring size.
Important: measure at the end of the day, when your fingers are more relaxed. In the morning they tend to be slightly smaller.
Details almost no one tells you (but you should know)
-
Your dominant hand is usually slightly larger
-
Cold weather can make your fingers seem smaller
-
If you’re between two sizes, choose the larger one
These little details make a big difference when shopping online.
Still unsure?
That’s completely normal.
In our online store, you can always reach out before placing your order. We’d rather help you choose the right size from the start so that when your ring arrives (yes, quickly), it feels like you tried it on in person.
Because jewelry shouldn’t cause stress, it should bring excitement.
One last tip, from one dear to another
Knowing your ring size is a way to shop with intention, to choose pieces you’ll truly enjoy and keep with you for a long time.
Save your size, write it down in your notes app, keep it handy. I promise you’ll use it more than you think.
And remember: a ring that fits well doesn’t just look beautiful, it feels right.
With love,
Las Queridas
