Knowing your ring size may not seem as important as knowing your pants size or shoe size, but sooner or later the day will come where you need to know what it is. Whether you’re looking for a fashion ring, wedding ring or a promise ring, ring sizes are crucial to get right. 

If a ring is too big, then you run the risk of it falling right off your finger. But, if a ring is too small, it may end up stuck on your finger and potentially cut off some circulation. It’s especially useful to know your ring size when you’re buying sterling silver rings online as well since there’s no way for you to try the ring on and see how it fits physically. 

So, we’ve put together this guide on how to measure and determine the right ring size for either yourself or someone else.
