Measuring finger size using thread
You should take a thread or string, wrap it around your finger and mark it. It is important that the thread is not compressed, but rather loose, i. y. easy to remove and attach, but at the same time fits snugly. The length of the thread is then measured in millimeters and divided by the number 3.14. You will receive a number that will show the size of the ring you need. However, the number does not always coincide with the standard size and should be rounded up.
Setting the size of the ring with a ruler
A ring is taken to fit your size. The jewelry is placed on a sheet and defined by a line around the inner perimeter of the ring. The diameter of the drawn circle in millimeters is then measured with a ruler. Of course, the widest possible location is measured. It is also possible to place the ring itself on a ruler and then measure.
Ring size adjustment with caliper
The size of available rings at home is most accurately measured using a caliper. With this device, all you have to do is simply measure the inside diameter.
Using one of these methods, one can easily determine the size of the fingers who want to make such an expensive gift. Just catch the moment. For example, when you want to know the size of a girlfriend’s or girlfriend’s ring, you need to take the ring and place it on your finger. The place where the ring adheres well is then marked and then the finger size at that place is measured in one of the above ways.
What is worth knowing to measure finger size?
• The fingers are slightly larger in the morning and evening, so it is best to measure the size of the fingers in the afternoon.
• The sizes of the same fingers on different hands may differ.
• If you choose a narrow ring, the resulting diameter must be rounded to the smaller side, and for a wide ring (more than 6 mm) to a larger one.
• In the warm season, the fingers are larger.
• It is better not to measure the size of your finger after exercising or drinking a lot of fluids.
When it is not possible to measure the size of the finger at all, standard sizes can be approximated:
• Girls weighing up to 60 kg. and up to 1.70 m. tall usually wears rings of sizes 16.0 - 17.5;
• Girls over 1.75 m. tall and weighing more than 60 kg. - ring size from 18.0 to 19.5;
• For men weighing up to 80 kg. usually 18.5 - 20.5 size rings are suitable;
• Men weighing more than 85 kg. usually wears from size 21.0.
All of the above measurement methods are estimates. The exact size of the finger can only be found with a ring gauge. Absolutely, in any jewelry store.
