Ring Size Guide: Find the Perfect Fit Every Time
Buying a ring—whether for yourself or a loved one—should be exciting, not stressful. But the biggest question is always: “What’s the right ring size?” With our simple at-home tips and UK size guide, Chloe’s Jewellers helps you find the perfect fit every time.
1. How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
You only need a few everyday items:
- A thin strip of paper or string
- A ruler (millimetres preferred)
- A pen or pencil
Wrap the paper around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres. Match it to our ring size chart below.
"Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are warm for the most accurate results."
