📏 Why Getting the Right Ring Size Matters

• Comfort for Daily Wear:
  A properly fitting ring should slide over your knuckle easily but feel snug once it’s on your finger. It shouldn’t feel like it will fall off or feel painfully tight.
  
• Protects Your Investment:
  Whether it’s a $500 promise ring or a $10,000 engagement ring, a good fit helps prevent slipping, bending, or damage — protecting your jewelry’s beauty and value.
  
• Saves Time and Money:
  While JewelNests offers resizing services, sending a piece back and forth for adjustment adds time and potential shipping costs. Measuring right the first time saves the hassle.
  
• Boosts Confidence:
  Nothing beats the excitement of receiving a perfectly fitting piece — especially if you’re gifting it during a proposal or a special event!
  

🛠️ What You’ll Need to Measure at Home

Gather the following:

• Printable Ring Sizer (official JewelNests version is formatted for U.S. and Canadian sizes)
  
• String, thin strip of paper, or dental floss (easy household alternatives)
  
• A ruler with millimeters (mm) clearly marked
  
• Pen, marker, or tape to mark the overlap
  
• A steady hand and patience!
  

Pro Tip: Always measure more than once to double-check accuracy. Consistency matters!

🖨️ Step 1: Download and Print a U.S./Canada Ring Sizer

Start by downloading our free printable sizing chart from the JewelNests website.
Make sure when you print it:

• Set your printer to 100% scale (Actual Size)
  
• Disable any “Fit to Page” options that might shrink the image
  
• Use the reference guide (like a printed credit card outline) to confirm proper scaling
  

💬 Note: JewelNests printable sizer includes full U.S. and Canadian sizes, including half and quarter sizes for the most accurate fit possible.

✋ Step 2: Method One — Using String or Paper to Measure Your Finger

Here’s a detailed walk-through:

1. Prepare your measuring tool:
   Cut a thin strip of paper (about 6 inches long) or use a non-stretchy string.
   
2. Wrap It Carefully:
   Gently wrap it around the finger where the ring will be worn.
   
   • It should be snug but not too tight — remember, your ring must comfortably pass over your knuckle.
     
3. Mark the Intersection:
   Using a fine-point pen or marker, mark exactly where the end meets.
   
4. Lay It Flat and Measure:
   Place your string or paper on a flat surface. Measure the distance from the starting point to the mark using a millimeter (mm) ruler.
   
5. Match to a Sizing Chart:
   Compare your millimeter measurement to the sizing chart below.
   

Pro Tip: If your measurement falls between two sizes, it’s safer to choose the larger size — especially if you’re selecting a wider band!

💍 Step 3: Method Two — Using a Ring You Already Own

If you have an existing ring that fits:

1. Print the JewelNests Sizing Guide.
   
2. Lay the Ring Flat: Place the ring directly over the printed circles.
   
3. Match Inner Diameter: The inside of the ring should align with the circle line — you should barely see the circle’s outline beyond the ring’s inside edge.
   
4. Double-Check: Confirm your reading by checking a second time for accuracy.
   

Pro Tip: Different ring styles (thin vs. thick bands) may affect size slightly. If your original ring is very thin, consider sizing up slightly if you’re ordering a wider ring.

📚 Additional Sizing Tips for U.S. and Canadian Shoppers

• Measure at Different Times:
  Measure fingers at various times of the day to account for slight swelling or shrinking. Evening is usually best.
  
• Consider Temperature:
  Cold fingers are smaller; warm fingers are larger. Always measure when your hands are at a normal temperature.
  
• Know Your Knuckles:
  If your knuckles are larger than the base of your finger, measure both the base and the knuckle, and choose a size in between.
  
• Ring Width Matters:
  
  • Thin Bands (1–3mm): Standard sizing usually works.
    
  • Wide Bands (5mm+): Consider sizing up half a size for comfort.
    
• Resizing Policies:
  JewelNests offers complimentary resizing on many styles, but confirming your size ahead of time is always recommended to avoid potential delays.
  

🎁 Special Sizing Tip for Surprise Proposals

If you’re shopping for someone else:

• Borrow one of their rings (worn on the intended finger) and use Method Two.
  
• Trace the ring onto a piece of paper to get an accurate diameter.
  
• Ask close friends, family, or sneakily measure when they’re distracted!
  

Pro Tip:
When in doubt, it’s better to go a half-size larger. Resizing down is usually easier than making a ring larger.
