Finding antique rings that we dream of is one thing. But getting them in the right size is another. Did you know that the average ring size for a woman is 52 to 54? And for a man, 60 to 62? If you don't know your ring size, here are our tips for finding out your finger size:

Find your ring size with a virtual or physical ring sizer

It is possible to find your finger size, and therefore your ring size, with a ring sizer. There are metal ring sizes that can be found on the internet or in jewelry stores. But it is also possible to find virtual ring sizes. The easiest way is to download and print it. A scale with centimeters allows you to know if your print is well calibrated. You can also measure directly on your screen if the length corresponds well.

To find out your ring size, place your ring successively on the circles. If the outline of the circle matches the inner outline of your ring, it is your size. Be careful, it should not be the outer outline but the inner one. The number corresponding to the circle is that of your ring size.

Find your ring or finger size without a ring sizer

Use ribbon or string

To find out your finger size without a ring sizer, you can use a ribbon or string (a strip of paper can also work).

Wrap around the finger that will wear your ring, then make a mark where the ribbon or string meets.

Take a ruler and measure the length of your ribbon/string on a flat surface, up to your mark. You get a measurement.

Finally, compare the measurement to the chart below to find your actual finger size.

Use a tape measure or ruler

Another technique is to measure using a ruler. Take your ruler and measure the inside diameter of your ring. Note that the size is taken in millimeters. Then refer to the table above to know the correct size for your finger.

Go directly to a jewelry store

It is easier to know your exact ring size by going to a jewelry store. Do not hesitate to go to the jewelry store in your neighborhood or village, they will tell you your real finger size. Jewelers have specific tools that allow you to reliably measure your ring size.
