Being that the thread is soft it will be a different fit from a solid band ring, so you can’t take it for granted – you’ll need to make 2-3 measurements to make extra sure.

‘I would personally take more than one measurement. You’re going to get a really accurate reading from that.' -– Harriet Lindsay, Brand and Buying Director, Aubade Boutiqueĭo you have any tips for ensuring you get an accurate fit? The best thing to do is to pass by any local jewelers and they’ll measure you on the spot. Personally, I recommend being generous with your sizing and considering the ring's height and thickness. We do find that when people measure from home they measure too tightly around the finger because they want it to fit perfectly and they don’t take into account that your fingers swell throughout the day. 'In terms of sizing at home, the string technique is probably the most accurate out of these, but I would say proceed with caution. Which technique do you recommend for at-home ring sizing? You can do this simply by measuring the inner ring size circumference and then looking at an online sizing chart to give you the correct measurement.' If you have rings that you like already it’s worth taking the measurement from that.

‘I think the most important thing that people often don’t think about when trying to gauge their ring size at home is the thickness of the band – how thick or thin the ring band is will really affect its fit. What should you consider when measuring your own ring size?
