Measuring ring size made easy – with fejn jewelry

Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the city or a shopping trip with your best friend: when shopping for jewelry offline, measuring your ring size is usually not absolutely necessary thanks to trying them on. And if nothing fits: a jeweler can easily determine your ring size during a visit to their store.

However, when buying hand jewelry online, you are on your own. To ensure that your chosen favorite ring fits in the end, it's important to know your ring size. We offer our ring models in our standard sizes S, M, and L. Selected designs are also available in other sizes. You can find the corresponding size guides directly in the product descriptions of our rings in the fejn online shop.
 
Who would have thought: In fact, very few people know what ring size they actually need? We at fejn want to change that! With our tips for determining ring size, you'll quickly find out which size is right for you.

How can you measure your ring size?

For everyone who is now wondering how to measure their ring diameter, we have good news: determining the right ring circumference is actually quite simple. Various methods are available to all jewelry fans for determining the correct ring size. We'll tell you what to look out for.

Method 1: Use a ring sizer for size determination

Ring sizers are available online and in jewelry stores and work on the belt principle: The plastic ring, marked with size units, is first placed on the finger on which you want to measure the ring size. Now, the adjustable plastic ring is adjusted in size until it sits comfortably on the finger. Then, the ring size can be easily read from the sizer.

Method 2: Measure ring size with a ring template

We have provided a downloadable ring size chart that will help you determine the correct ring size. The template shows various ring sizes that serve as a mask for measuring the ring size. In addition to the template, you also need a well-fitting ring. This method only works if you already have a suitable ring at home.
 
The piece of jewelry is then simply placed on the template and compared with the information shown there. Does your ring match one of the specifications? Great, you have already determined your ring size.

Method 3: Determine ring size based on diameter

The correct ring size can also be determined based on the ring diameter. How does it work? Simply grab a well-fitting ring or the hand jewelry of a person you would like to give a gift to, and proceed as follows:

1. Place the ring on a ruler or tape measure and measure its diameter.

2. This value must be multiplied by 3.14. For example, if the measurement resulted in 17 mm and you multiply this value by 3.14, the ring size will be 53.

The 3 W's of ring size measurement: When, where, and how?

But not only the method plays a role in measuring ring size: there are also other circumstances that you should consider when determining it. It is crucial when, where and how you measure your ring size. Because your fingers are not always the same thickness!
 
As the day progresses or the weather changes, your finger circumference also changes. For example, fingers are usually thinner in the morning than in the evening. If it is cold outside, the finger circumference also shrinks slightly. Other factors can also affect the finger circumference: during pregnancy, for example, fingers tend to swell. The measurement should therefore be taken at different times of the day and shortly before ordering your favorite ring.
 
Also important: a hand is not just a hand! The ring sizes on the right and left hand can vary. Therefore, it is best to decide before ordering the ring on which hand and which finger you want to wear it. Then focus the measurement on the corresponding finger.

The "how" behind ring size measurement also plays an essential role: If you want to measure your ring size yourself and have taken your finger measurements repeatedly throughout the day, first add all the measurement results. The resulting value is then divided by the number of measurements. Example:
 
52 + 52.3 + 53 + 52.3 + 53.2
= 262.8 ÷ 5 measurements
= 52.6
 
Rounded, the result corresponds to ring size 53. The resulting averaged measurement ensures that your new piece of jewelry sits well on your finger at any time of day.
