There are three common methods for measuring finger size, namely paper strip measurement, professional tool measurement, and original ring measurement. The specific steps are as follows.
How to measure fingers to buy a ring
1. Paper strip measurement method
Cut a thin strip of paper about 0.5cm wide without any stretch, wrap it around your finger from one end, make a mark at the joint, then flatten the strip and mark the length to obtain the circumference of your finger.
3. Professional tool measurement method
You can go to the jewelry store to measure your finger size. The salesperson will use a ring size bar and a ring ring. First, put a suitable ring on the finger that needs to be measured, then remove the ring and put it on the ring bar, and compare the values.
3. The original ring measurement method
Take out the suitable ring you previously wore, place it on a piece of white paper, draw a circle along the inner diameter, measure the diameter of the circle with a ruler, and refer to the ring size comparison table.
Precautions for measuring ring size
1. Take the average of multiple measurements
The ideal ring size should be tight and not too tight or too loose, just fitting the finger joint. Therefore, it is necessary to measure 3-5 times and take the average.
2. The ring is slightly tight in summer and slightly loose in winter
The size of fingers can vary due to thermal expansion and contraction. Generally speaking, wearing a ring in summer feels slightly tight, while wearing a ring in winter should rotate it left and right without falling off.
3. Male and female ring numbers
Rings are usually worn on the index, middle, or ring fingers, with most women having ring sizes between 10-15, with 13 and 14 being more common; And most men's ring sizes are between 17-21, with 18-20 being more common.
