Measuring Your Ring Size

One of the most common questions I have had since starting selling marcasite jewellery online is "I am not sure of my rings size, how can I find what it is?".

Below is a quick guide as to how you can measure your own ring size and also a few tips to ensure that the measurement is as accurate as possible.

1. Find a piece of string (or a thin stip of paper - no wide than 1/2").
2. Wrap it around the base of the appropriate finger.
3. Use a pen to mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle.
4. With a ruler, measure the length from the starting end of the string/paper to the pen mark.
5. Use this measurement and a ring size chart to determine your ring size.

Tips to improve the measurements accuracy;

* Don't measure cold fingers. This is when fingers are their smallest.

* For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is the largest.
