HOW TO KNOW YOUR RING SIZE?

Knowing your ring size is often essential. Indeed, whether for gifting or for oneself, a ring that is too tight may cause injury, and a ring that is too large may get lost. To know the size of your finger for this piece of jewelry, you can either measure it yourself or go to a jewelry store to have it measured by a professional. Maison Bäumer reveals a multi-step virtual guide that will help you choose the perfect piece of jewelry suited to your finger size.

What needs to be measured

Wedding rings, engagement rings, bracelets, or other jewelry often require a precise size that needs special attention. For this reason, many people tend to try measuring their finger sizes at home to avoid going to a professional. For women, as for men, Maison Bäumer offers you this virtual guide to develop effective methods for the occasion.
For a reliable result, it is preferable to measure your finger circumference at the end of the day. Be sure to follow our advice as closely as possible. Avoid taking your measurements when your finger is hot or cold. There are two methods to find your ring size:
Measure your finger circumference
Use one of your rings that perfectly fits your finger size.

The finger circumference

There are different methods to measure your finger size to choose your ring size.
To begin with, if you have a tape measure, measure your finger circumference with it and then match your measurement in millimeters to the closest one in the table below. You will thus find the right size for your ring. This step is one of the simplest and tends to quickly find the right match for your finger size.
If this method does not suit you, you can also opt for the following one:
If you don't have a tape measure, take a piece of string, thread, or a strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your finger. Get a pen to mark the point where the string/paper closes the circle. Then, on a flat surface, measure the length in millimeters between the start of the string/paper and your mark using a ruler.
To help you, we advise you to use the table you will find at the bottom of the page. From there, record your measurements in it. If you want to ensure the size is accurate, you can take one final step by asking someone close to you for help.

The diameter of the ring

To measure the diameter of the ring, home techniques are not necessarily the most accurate. The size of a ring corresponds to its circumference in millimeters. Very often, if you have a ring, it is recommended to place it on a flat surface to measure its inner diameter using a ruler, and then refer to the corresponding size according to the conversion chart at the bottom of the page.
Of course, if you want more precision regarding the circumference, the diameter, or simply to measure your finger sizes accurately, we recommend coming to the store to use professional tools as well as to get more reliable advice and guidance.

Use a ring sizer to find out your ring size.

You can also choose the size of your ring from an existing ring to skip the previous step. Indeed, if you have a ring that fits perfectly on the finger where you will wear your Maison Bäumer creation, you can use the ring sizer below to find the matches.

Ask a jeweler's opinion

If you want to obtain your ring size in a more precise and certain way, you can go to a jeweler or a goldsmith who will measure your finger using a ring sizer or a mandrel.
The triboulet is a conical instrument that has a numbering system and allows for measuring the size of a ring.
The ring sizer is also a tool that allows you to know your finger size. Indeed, this set of rings in different sizes can be placed on the finger to find the ring size that corresponds to your finger.
