When choosing one of Verragio’s beautiful semi-mount rings, it’s important to select the appropriate size for the person wearing it. Whether it’s for you or a significant other you plan to propose to in the near future, you want the ring to slide gracefully over the finger but be secure enough that it doesn’t slip off.
How should an engagement ring fit? In a few words: snug and comfortable. And to ensure that it does, Verragio offers this quick guide to getting your ring size right. Here is how to measure ring size correctly.
How to Measure Ring Size at Home
There are several ways you can determine the width of your finger and measure your ring size. You can simply walk into a local jeweler and ask them to measure it for you. However, sometimes this isn’t always convenient and measuring your finger’s width is easier at home. But if you don’t have a ring sizer just lying around, what do you do? Here is one of the simplest methods for measuring your ring size. All it requires is a piece of string or strip of paper and a ruler.
Steps for Measuring Your Ring Size:
Step One: Take a strip of paper or a string and wrap it around the finger’s base you wish to measure. Don’t make the paper or string too taut; you want an accurate representation of a secure but comfortable ring size.
Step Two: Mark the touching point where the ends meet. Now, place the paper or string down on a table next to the ruler. Stretch out the string or paper if it wants to curl or crimp up. Don’t allow it to be too loose or too tight.
Step Three: Measure the mark you made on the paper or string using millimeters. That is your ring size!

How to Measure Your Ring Size Accurately (and Other Tips)

Using the at-home ruler method is very easy. Still, here is some advice that can ensure an accurate measurement reading, especially if your fingers tend to swell, as most do from time to time and even throughout the day. So, to obtain the most precise ring size measurement, follow these tips and tricks:
Measure Three Times
Whether you perform the at-home method or go to a jeweler to have your finger measured, take more than one measurement. We recommend measuring your finger at three different times throughout the day to get an accurate reading.
Borrow a Ring
If you have a favorite ring that fits just the way you like it, you can take its measurement too. Simply measure the inside diameter with the string and lay it out on the ruler, just as before. This trick is handy for partners who want to pop the question but don’t want to spoil the surprise. Just sneak the ring away for a brief moment, and voila! Now you know their ring size.
Measure When Fingers Are Slightly Warm
Our fingers can change size throughout the day simply from being hot or cold. So instead of measuring your finger after a workout or hot shower or coming in from the cold, avoid these extremes and allow your finger to cool down or warm up slightly.
Remember: Your Dominant Hand’s Finger Is Bigger
Our bodies are beautifully asymmetrical, and your dominant hand will always be slightly larger due to its frequent use and muscle mass. So don’t assume your ring finger is the same size on each. Instead, whether you are right- or left-handed, measure the exact finger the ring will rest on.
Wide Knuckles? Find a Happy Medium
If your knuckle is wider than the base where the ring rests, measure both and find a happy-medium size between that will ensure a secure ring that can still pass the knuckle.
