Got an old ring that fits? Perfect! Simply measure the diameter of that ring in millimetres and compare the value with the size mentioned alongside it in the ring size chart. If your old ring is a tad bit tight or loose, go with a size up or size down accordingly to find the perfect size!

Don’t have an old ring that fits? Fret not, because you’ve got the trustee measuring tape at your disposal! Simply wrap the measuring tape around your finger and take note of the measurement in millimetres. This length is the circumference of your finger. Map this value with the size mentioned alongside it in the ring size chart and you have your ring size!

You can easily measure your ring size at home with the help of Candere’s ring sizer tool. Now what exactly is this tool, you might ask? It is typically an adjustable strip that conveniently measures your ring size for you. 

All you need to do is pick the finger you wish to wear the ring on and put the strip on that finger after buckling it. Adjust the strip on your finger and make sure it’s neither too tight, nor too loose. Ensure that the sizer is able to move freely on your finger. Once the strip fits just right, note the number on which the arrow points. That’s your ring size right there!

1. Your fingers can swell or shrink depending on the temperature. It's best to measure your ring size at room temperature and at different times of the day to get an accurate measurement.
2. Sometimes, a ring can be adjusted to fit better. Jewellers can usually resize rings by stretching or compressing the metal. However, not all rings can be resized, so it's best to check with a jeweller first.
3. The width of the band can affect the ring size you need. Thicker bands may require a slightly larger size to fit comfortably, while thinner bands may require a slightly smaller size.
