The above chart displays ring size information and is a useful starting point in finding out what ring size is correct for you.
To measure your ring size at home, simply take a piece of string or thin material (even paper will do) and wrap it around the base of your finger. Mark the material with a pen at the point at which it completes the circle. Measure the length from the start of the material to the point where you have marked (measure it in millimetres). This gives you your finger circumference, from which you can refer to the size chart above.
Keep in mind that your finger changes in size during the day so it's best to measure it at the end of the day when the finger is at its largest. Heat and cold also affects the size of the finger – the former makes it bigger and the latter makes it smaller.
If you are buying a ring as a gift then you'll face the challenge of how to measure your partners finger! The best way to do this is to take a ring from your partners jewellery box (make sure it's one that they wear regularly) and slide the ring down a tapered candle. Measure the circumference of the candle where the ring stops. Use this as your guide.
