Ring Size Guide
A ring should fit comfortably on the finger of the wearer as well as be snug enough to prevent it from accidentally falling off. The best and most accurate way to measure a ring size is by visiting a local jeweler. Jewelers use a set of graduated rings and other specialized tools to determine ring size. Ring size can also be measured easily at home by any of the following ways:
How to Measure Your Diameter
Diameter is the measurement across the inner width of the ring.
You'll need:
- A ring that fits you
- Ruler
Step 1: Find a ring that fits.
Step 2: Lay ring on top of ruler, and measure the widest area inside the ring from inner edge to inner edge. Round to the closest whole millimetre.

How to Measure Your Circumference
Circumference is the measurement around the base of the finger. You'll need:
- 5mm wide strip of paper
- Pencil of fine tip pen
- Ruler
Step 1: Cut a long strip of paper that is 5mm wide.
Step 2: Wrap a strip of paper around the base of desired finger. For the most accurate result, pull paper as tight as possible.
*Don’t worry! The correct ring size is determined based on a tight measurement. The ring itself won’t fit that tight.
Step 3: Make sure the paper is evenly overlapped and pulled tight, and mark where the strip of paper meets itself.
Step 4: Measure the length of the strip of paper in millimetres. Round to the closest whole millimeter.

Ring sizing tips
When selecting a ring size, if you’re curious about how Pandora rings should fit, we’re here to assist you. Pick the ring size for the largest finger on which you’ll be wearing the ring. When taking measurements, round to the nearest whole millimeter. Ideally, a ring should fit snugly enough that it won’t slip off, but it should also be loose enough to glide over your knuckle without difficulty.
For precise ring measurements, utilize a plastic ring sizer. Make sure to measure at various times throughout the day. It’s crucial to keep in mind that finger sizes can fluctuate during the day and may be influenced by factors such as temperature and hydration levels. We suggest measuring your finger multiple times throughout the day to determine your perfect ring size.
Opt for a larger size
Since your finger size can fluctuate during the day, it’s always advisable to select a ring that is a bit larger rather than one that is too snug. You wouldn’t want to risk having it stuck on your finger.
Stackable rings: When it comes to stackable rings, choose one size up from your usual ring size for a more relaxed fit. Wide band rings: For rings with a wide band, we suggest going up one size from your standard ring size, due to the broader width of the band.
Discovering Someone Else’s Ring Size
Hoping to surprise a special someone with a stunning ring? The initial step in finding their ideal piece of jewelry is to determine their ring size. There are several methods to do this without arousing suspicion.
Examine their jewelry
One of the simplest ways to ascertain someone else's ring size is to look at their other pieces of jewelry. Sneak a glance into their jewelry box and observe the rings they own. Use a ruler to measure the diameter of a few rings. This will provide you with enough information to make an educated guess about your loved one’s ring size.
Utilize a piece of string
Though it can be a bit tricky, employing a piece of string is an effective way to gauge ring size if you’re buying for your partner. Gently wrap a small length of string around your partner’s finger while they are asleep, and use a pen to mark where the ends meet. Take this string to a jeweler, and you'll obtain an accurate ring size measurement.
Consult friends or family
Encourage your partner to try on their friends’ or relatives’ rings to gain a better understanding of what their ring size might be. Now that you know how to determine your ring size, learn how to effortlessly style and stack rings with our video below.
