Method 1
This is a chart that will be extremely helpful for you to determine the ring size that you need. You can either make use of a tape or a small piece of non-stretchable string to measure the area that will be occupied by the ring. When it becomes a complete circle, make a mark on such string. This will be helpful for you to compare with the chart that is mentioned below. For extra width, you can add another size to accommodate.
-
Cut a thin strip of paper or a stretchable thread
-
Wrap the paper/thread around your finger
-
Mark the spot where the paper/thread meets
-
Measure the length of the paper/thread with your ruler

To ensure you get the most accurate ring size, we recommend using multiple methods. In addition to the paper method, you can also use this chart to measure the inside diameter of a ring you currently wear. Simply place the ring on a scale and measure the inner diameter in millimeters. Then, compare your measurement to the chart below to find your ring size.

Useful Tips
When choosing the right ring size, there are several environmental and physical factors to consider. Keep in mind that it's better to err on the larger side when guessing your partner's ring size, as it's much easier to size a ring down than to size it up.
Average Ring Sizes: Keep in mind the average ring size range for women is between 9 and 14 (India), while sizes commonly range from 17 to 22 (India) for men. If you have no other information available, it’s best to choose between these ranges.
Time of the Day: An ideal time to measure their finger size is in the evening. Most people’s fingers tend to be at their largest in the evening and smaller in the morning. Measuring your finger size in the evening will guarantee a comfortable fit
Optimal Temperature: Fingers tend to react to temperatures, and can change size depending on the weather.The cold winter air will shrink fingers while the opposite happens in summer or when it’s warm and humid. Avoid measuring finger size outside in the very cold or very hot.
Finger expands and contract: Other factors can cause fingers to grow such as exercising, water retention, pregnancy, ageing, and arthritis. Weight loss and low temperatures can cause fingers to decrease in size.
Thicker Bands: Thicker ring bands (larger than 6mm) will fit tighter. It is advised to always go for half a size up when purchasing a thicker band, for the ring to be comfortable.
