If you are just getting engaged, you have probably wondered at least once how your partner will know what size of the ring you are wearing.

It is worth measuring your finger size in advance and sharing this information with your significant other. Knowing your size will also make it easier for you to order in an online store.
How to measure your ring size at home? You don’t need a caliper at all
When choosing a ring, not only the stone and material are important, but also the size. Both the engagement ring and wedding band should fit your finger perfectly. They can’t be too loose, because they will easily slip off your finger and you’ll lose them. A ring that is too tight is also a big problem because it is very difficult to take it off on your own, and your finger may swell.
The best solution is to try on the ring in a store and check in which size you will feel most comfortable. However, we don’t always have this opportunity, especially when your partner is planning a proposal and doesn’t want to spoil the surprise. He may try to steal your favorite ring from your jewelry box and take it to a jeweler who will measure it with a caliper. However, you can also check the size without leaving . How?

How to measure finger size at home? All you need is a thread
You can replace the caliper with a regular ruler. Just measure the inner diameter and compare the size table on the jeweler’s website with the available sizes. Most tables start with size 5, which has an internal diameter of 14 mm. Each ring size is 0.33 mm larger than the previous one. If the result is between two sizes, it is better to choose the larger one. The second proven method is to wrap your finger with a paper ruler, a piece of string, thread or ribbon. Wrap the string around the measured finger where you wear the ring. Mark or cut off the place where the thread wraps snugly around your finger. Remove and measure the resulting length of thread with a ruler. Convert to millimeters and divide by 3.14. The result will be the diameter of the ring. Take a look at the measurement table again. Look at the diameter and EU size.
