💍 How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home – The Silver Steed Guide

At Silver Steed, we believe jewellery should fit your life as perfectly as it fits your hand. Whether you're buying a timeless silver ring for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, finding the right size is the first step to ensuring it's loved and worn often.

So, how do you measure your ring size with confidence—without a visit to the jeweller?

You're in the right place. This blog combines silver craftsmanship with precision guidance to help you measure your ring size easily at home.


📏 Two Simple Methods to Measure Your Ring Size

There are two reliable ways to determine your size:

1. Measure Your Finger Directly

This is ideal if you're shopping for yourself.

What you’ll need:

  • A thin strip of paper or string

  • A pen

  • A ruler (preferably millimetres)

  • A ring size chart (we’ve included one below)

Steps:

  1. Wrap: Take the strip and wrap it around the base of your finger—where the ring will sit.

  2. Mark: Use the pen to mark where the end of the strip overlaps.

  3. Measure: Lay the strip flat and measure the distance from the end to the mark.

  4. Compare: Use a ring size chart to convert your measurement into a UK, US or EU ring size.

✅ Silver Steed Tip: Repeat this process two or three times for accuracy—finger sizes fluctuate!


2. Measure an Existing Ring

Perfect when buying a surprise gift.

What you’ll need:

  • A ring that fits the intended finger

  • A ruler

  • A ring size chart

Steps:

  1. Select: Choose a ring that fits snugly.

  2. Measure: Place it on a ruler and measure the internal diameter—edge to edge.

  3. Compare: Match this diameter to the correct size on a ring chart.


🧠 Silver Steed Wisdom: What Else to Keep in Mind?

Great jewellers don’t just design for beauty—we design for comfort. That means knowing the subtleties that can affect fit.

🔹 Time of Day Matters

Fingers swell slightly by the end of the day. Always measure in the evening for the most accurate fit.

🔹 Avoid Cold Hands

Cold can shrink fingers. Wait until your hands are warm and relaxed before measuring.

🔹 Know Your Band Width

Wider bands feel tighter. If you're eyeing one of our bolder silver styles, consider sizing up by half a size.

🔹 Precision Is Power

Still unsure? The most accurate way to find your ring size is to visit a professional jeweller—or request one of our complimentary ring sizers.
