You're in the right place. This blog combines silver craftsmanship with precision guidance to help you measure your ring size easily at home.
đ 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 youâll need:
-
A thin strip of paper or string
-
A pen
-
A ruler (preferably millimetres)
-
A ring size chart (weâve included one below)
Steps:
-
Wrap: Take the strip and wrap it around the base of your fingerâwhere the ring will sit.
-
Mark: Use the pen to mark where the end of the strip overlaps.
-
Measure: Lay the strip flat and measure the distance from the end to the mark.
-
Compare: Use a ring size chart to convert your measurement into a UK, US or EU ring size.
â Silver Steed Tip: Repeat this process two or three times for accuracyâfinger sizes fluctuate!
2. Measure an Existing Ring
Perfect when buying a surprise gift.
What youâll need:
-
A ring that fits the intended finger
-
A ruler
-
A ring size chart
Steps:

Measure: Place it on a ruler and measure the internal diameterâedge to edge.
-
Compare: Match this diameter to the correct size on a ring chart.
đ§ Silver Steed Wisdom: What Else to Keep in Mind?
Great jewellers donât just design for beautyâwe design for comfort. That means knowing the subtleties that can affect fit.
đš Time of Day Matters
Fingers swell slightly by the end of the day. Always measure in the evening for the most accurate fit.
đš Avoid Cold Hands
Cold can shrink fingers. Wait until your hands are warm and relaxed before measuring.
đš 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.
đš Precision Is Power
Still unsure? The most accurate way to find your ring size is to visit a professional jewellerâor request one of our complimentary ring sizers.
