Tips on determining your ring size
1. Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around your finger.
2. Mark the point where the two ends meet.
3. Measure the string against a ruler to get the circumference.
4. Divide that by 3.14 to get the diameter of your finger.
5. Look up your ring size using the table (click

If you're buying the ring as a surprise
Ask your partner's mother or one of their friends if they know their finger size. Borrow one of your partners rings and slide it down a tapered candle. Then measure according to the ring sizer you received in the mail or using the chart above.
Tips on getting an accurate ring size
After sliding the ring sizer on, make sure it slides off easily over the knuckle. Don't measure cold fingers, as 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.
