How to calculate ring size?

On the one hand, choosing a ring that symbolizes the union with another person and that goes with everything is no easy task. On the other hand, if you don’t know how to calculate the ring size, it could be too small or too big and be uncomfortable. Yes, rings come in sizes, just like trousers or t-shirts and we should respect them.

If a ring is too big, you run the risk of losing it which can cause upset, whereas if it is too small, you will end up causing damage as your finger will swell up and removing the ring won’t be easy. That’s why it is vital that you know how to calculate the ring size.

How to measure the finger for a ring

Whether you need to know your own ring size or to find out the ring size for someone else for a gift, you need to know the size of the diameter of the finger on which it will be worn. The ring finger is not the same as the little finger. Also remember that, with the heat, fingers can swell up so you need to look for a size that is comfortable. If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size.

You can measure the interior diameter of a ring that fits, or measure the finger directly. In both cases, the only thing you need is a tape measure; and even better if it is flexible like a sewing tape that seamstresses use. You can measure the diameter of the ring in millimeters by seeing how much it measures from one side to the other, or the finger itself in centimeters by tying a thread or string around it and then measuring that to discover the exact size. The third option, the most inconvenient if you don’t want to have to leave the house, is to ask your trusted jeweler to measure your finger. It won’t take long because they have specific tools for that purpose.

Ring sizes in cm and equivalence

Once you know how many centimeters you need, it’s time to see what size that corresponds to. But, you will be wondering ‘how can I find out my ring size?’ It’s very easy, you just need to look at the conversion table.

In Spain, the most common ring sizes range from 7 to 24. Knowing how many centimeters in internal diameter you need, you can find out which size is yours. Remember that each size is a centimeter larger than the previous one.

Most common ring size for women

Normally the ring size for a woman ranges between 10 and 16, with 12 and 14 being the most common. However, the most common ring sizes for men range from 20 to 28, although sizes 20 and 22 are the most widely used among men.

Remember that ring sizes may vary between countries. The same happens with clothing, despite there being international standards, each nation adopts their own. In fact, sizes in Spain are not the same as those in the United States; with rings or with clothing.

How to calculate ring size and which to choose

Once you know the size, it’s time to choose the model based on the person’s style and tastes. Whether it is larger or smaller will also depend on the customs of the person wearing it. A woman working in a factory won’t be able to wear a ring with excessively large stones because it could cause an accident. However, this is not the case if you wear a ring while working at the computer.

Now you know what you need to look for, it’s time to take a look at what we have to offer. You are bound to find a model for you or the special person you want to buy for that fits like a glove.
