How To Measure Your Ring Size

Free Ring Sizer

Ring Size Chart & Printable Guide

Finding your size at home is quick and simple with our printable ring size chart. It's an easy way to get an accurate fit before ordering, and includes a ring conversion guide across different sizing systems. Just download the guide and follow the steps below:

Be sure to keep the ring bandwidth in mind. Since wider styles can feel tighter, consider going up half a size for a better fit .

How to Use Our Free Ring Sizer

If you're still unsure of your exact ring size, our free plastic ring sizer offers another accurate way to measure at home. It's reusable and can arrive within just a few days of ordering. You can request the free ring sizer by simply filling out the request form on our site, and we'll mail it to your address of choice.

Once it arrives, simply slide your finger into the circle until a size feels right. We recommend trying a half size up or down to find your precise fit. The right ring size should be snug enough that the plastic ring doesn't slip off, but loose enough to slide over the knuckle.

How to Measure Ring Size with String, Paper and a Ruler

If you're wondering how to measure a ring size at home without a dedicated sizer, this simple method can help you find an accurate fit using everyday items. It's also an easy way to keep a surprise when shopping for someone else—just borrow one of their rings or ask a close friend or family member for help.

This at-home approach requires only a piece of string, a ruler, a pen and a small piece of paper. Follow these quick steps to learn how to measure ring size accurately:

Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Ring Size at Home

1. Wrap the string or paper around the base of your finger. 2. Mark the point where the ends meet with a pen. 3. Measure the string or paper with a ruler in millimeters (mm), then divide the number by 3.14 (or pi) to find the ring's diameter. 4. Match your result to the closest size on the ring size chart to determine your correct ring size.

Getting the right fit isn't just about the measurement. It's about how your ring feels day to day. Use these helpful tips to ensure lasting comfort and confidence in your choice:

Use another ring as a guide: Measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits well using a tape measure and compare it to our printable ring sizer or ring size chart.

How to Secretly Get a Ring Size

Are you planning a surprise proposal or gift? It's possible to find the right ring size without giving it away. The easiest method is to borrow one of their rings—preferably one they wear on the same finger—and use our printable ring size chart to measure it.

If borrowing isn't an option, enlist the help of a close friend or relative who can subtly ask about their ring size without raising suspicion. You can also trace the inside of their ring on paper or measure it with a ruler to compare against our chart. These discreet hacks make it simple to get a perfect fit while keeping your plans secret.

Which Method Is Best for Finding Ring Size?

For extra accuracy, try more than one approach and compare results using our printable ring size chart. Keep in mind that your ring size can change temporarily, so it's ideal to measure more than once at different times in the day. In the end, the best method is the one that works most comfortably and conveniently for you or the person you're surprising.

Ring Size Conversion Chart

Our international ring size conversion chart makes it easy to compare sizes across the U.S., Canada, Europe and other countries' sizing systems. Use it to find your exact match before ordering, whether you're shopping locally or from abroad.

If you're adjusting the fit of an existing ring, professional resizing ensures it feels just as good as the day you wore it. Whether it's an engagement ring, wedding ring or fashion piece, resizing can help restore that perfect fit. Sizing a ring depends on whether the band needs to be made larger or smaller. To increase the size, a jeweler carefully adds a small piece of matching metal, solders it into place and polishes the band to a seamless finish. To make the ring smaller, a tiny section of the band is removed, then reshaped and refinished. Our expert jewelry makers at Blue Nile follow strict quality standards throughout the entire ring resizing process.

What If I Order the Wrong Ring Size?

Don't worry if your new ring doesn't fit quite right, it happens more often than you'd think. The first step is to try the ring on a few times throughout the day, since finger size can shift slightly from temperature change and activity. If it still feels too loose or snug, we'll guide you through the best next steps. At Blue Nile, we offer complimentary resizing for most engagement rings and wedding rings within the manufacturer's recommended range during the first year. You can also take advantage of our 30-day exchange policy if you need a different ring size.

Rings That Can't Be Resized

Certain ring styles cannot be resized due to their design. In these cases, an icon will appear on the product detail page under the ring size selection. For example, diamond and gemstone eternity rings with a specific number of gemstones per finger size, milgrain or ornate bands, silver rings or rings with alternative metals such as tungsten cannot be resized. We're happy to exchange your ring for another in the correct size within 30 days of purchase. It's important to note that should you opt for an exchange, your new ring may contain fewer or more gemstones, diamonds or a different precious metal weight, which may cause a price increase or decrease
