Want to know how to determine your ring size? Most people don't know their partner's ring size until it's time to buy their engagement ring for the most important day of their lives. Your partner may not even be aware of their ring size because they rarely remember it off the top of their head. Finding your ideal ring size is easy by following a few simple guidelines. If visiting a jeweler to find out you’re or a loved one's ring size sounds time-consuming, try an equally accurate technique at home.

To get the most accurate readings, these home measuring techniques should be repeated several times with great care. Using these measuring tips is error-prone and can lead to the wrong ring size. It's important to have someone with you for a second opinion, whether it's a friend or a family member. Don't worry if you don't have a ring gauge at home. This ring size guide provides best practices to help you choose your ideal ring sizes.

Step 1 - Cut the paper or string. A string or sheet of paper should be wrapped around the base of the finger. To create a perfect circle around your finger, mark exactly where the string or paper overlaps.

Step 2 - After unrolling, place the string or paper against a millimeter ruler. The length of the measurement is the circumference of the finger. Use the ring size chart below to determine your ring size.

The most difficult part of buying an engagement ring is often the exact size of the engagement ring. Ring sizes can change over time due to a variety of factors, necessitating engagement and wedding ring resizing.

How to Measure the Ring Size?

The only way to accurately determine your partner's ring size is to schedule an in-person meeting. Using our own Lauren B sizers, our sales team design consultant will measure your ring finger during an in-store consultation to determine your correct ring size guide.

If you want to keep your proposal secret or if you can't come to a store to discuss it, at-home ring sizing techniques may be your only option. In this situation, Lauren B offers a plastic ring ruler for you to test at home. There are some techniques you can use to more accurately measure your partner's ring size without revealing the proposal.

The Methods of Home

The paper strip method is the first method of determining your partner's ring size at home. First, cut a strip of paper that is 4 inches long and 34 inches wide. Tightly wrap and mark where the piece of paper overlaps with your partner's intended finger.

If your partner wears the ring on their left ring finger, you can find out your ring size by measuring the circumference of the ring with a ruler. To be successful, the partner must wear this ring on his left ring finger.

Finally, you can ask to measure your partner's ring finger using one of our custom-made Lauren B-Ring Gauges. The Lauren B Engagement Ring Gauge ensures that your partner's finger fits comfortably on one of our Lauren B engagement rings.
