Measuring Ring Size – How to Do It Right

In recent years, we've seen changes in consumption habits and a massive shift to purchasing from e-commerce sites, much like Israel Gifts.
Today, you can easily buy rings online without leaving your couch.

However, the fact that you can't try on rings before buying them can make things a bit difficult. We receive countless requests and questions regarding ring sizes. We will try to help answer the question, "What ring size do I need?"
There are several different ring size systems: American, European, British, Japanese, and others. In this guide, we won't elaborate on the different types of measurements but will focus on helping you find your size.

Using a ring size guide, you can easily determine the ring size you need to order, which is essential before placing an online order.

Measuring Ring Size with an App:

Today, you don't need to struggle with tools, rulers, and all sorts of tangible objects.
To measure your finger size, all you need to do is download a dedicated mobile app – there are several options for Android or iOS.

Most of them work well. All you need to do is place your ring on the screen and adjust the size of the circle appearing on the screen to match your ring size – the size that appears afterward is your ring size.

There are several apps in the app store; choose your preferred one.

Measuring Ring Size with String or Paper:

Another way to measure ring size is by using string or paper.
Mark the point where the two ends of the string meet and measure the length of the string up to that point with a ruler.
The units of measurement obtained are in millimeters, and once you have the length of the string, you will need to refer to a size chart to identify your ring size.
It is advisable to perform the measurement 3 times to get the most accurate result.

If string isn't available, you can also cut a piece of paper, wrap it around your finger, and mark the meeting point of the two ends of the paper with a pencil or pen.
A few tips for the most accurate measurement possible:

* Measure at room temperature – It is advisable to measure at room temperature.
* Measure in the right place – Always measure the thicker part of the finger.
* Sizes vary between websites/countries – Pay attention that the ring size you order is relevant to the sizes accepted in Israel and not to international sizes. Make sure the ring size matches your measurement method.
* Try not to measure after exertion – If you have performed physical activity, it is recommended to wait and measure your finger circumference about twenty minutes later or after your heart rate has returned to normal.

Good luck!
