The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Perfect Ring Size
The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Perfect Ring Size
At The Rad Gem Company, we believe that a perfect ring deserves a perfect fit. Whether you're surprising someone special or customizing a piece for yourself, getting the right size ensures your jewelry feels as amazing as it looks. Here’s our comprehensive guide to help you size your ring effortlessly.
Why Ring Size Matters
A ring that’s too loose risks falling off, while one that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and difficult to remove. Getting the perfect size ensures both comfort and security, making every wear a delight.
How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
Option 1: Use a Printable Ring Sizer

-
Wrap and Mark: Cut out the paper sizer, wrap it around the base of your finger, and note where the strip overlaps.
-
Match Your Measurement: Use the size chart provided to find your ring size.
Option 2: Measure with a String or Tape
-
Wrap: Take a string, strip of paper, or soft measuring tape and wrap it around the widest part of your finger (usually the base).
-
Mark: Mark the point where the string or tape overlaps.
-
Measure: Lay the string or paper flat and measure the length with a ruler. Compare the measurement to our Ring Size Chart to find your size.
Pro Tips for Accurate Sizing
-
Measure at the Right Time: Fingers tend to swell during the day and in warm weather. Measure in the evening when your fingers are at their largest.
-
Consider the Band Width: Wider bands fit more snugly than thin ones. If you’re selecting a wide band, consider going up half a size.
-
Think About Temperature: Cold weather can shrink your fingers, while heat can make them swell. Choose a size that feels comfortable year-round.
-
Measure Multiple Times: For the most accuracy, measure your finger 2-3 times at different times of the day.
Finding a Size for a Surprise
If you’re planning a surprise and don’t know the recipient’s size, here are a few tricks:
-
Borrow a Ring: Sneakily borrow a ring they already wear on the intended finger and match it to our Printable Ring Size Chart.
-
Ask a Friend: A close friend or family member might already know their size.
-
Compare to Your Finger: Try the ring on one of your fingers and note where it fits. Bring this information to us, and we’ll help estimate their size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my ring size changes?
Don’t worry! Life happens—fingers can change size due to weight fluctuations, temperature, or pregnancy. Many rings can be resized by a professional jeweler, including most of our custom pieces.
How tight should my ring be?
Your ring should fit snugly but comfortably. It should slide over your knuckle with a slight pull and sit securely without pinching.
Do different fingers have different sizes?
Yes! Each finger has a unique size, even on the same hand. Make sure to measure the specific finger you’ll be wearing the ring on.
