Now that you know what to look for, you are ready to measure. Follow our two methods below for measuring your own finger or finding your ring size based on a ring you already own.
Measure Your Own Finger
When you are starting fresh, get your ring size right by following these steps.
Get a small piece of string, strip of paper, or print out our paper ring sizer tool.
Wrap the tool snugly around your finger, it should be comfortable and not squeezing too tightly.
Mark your tool. Then lay it out taut to measure with a ruler or compare with our sizing chart.
Do this process again to double check your measurements are accurate.
Measure a Ring You Own
Have a ring that already fits perfectly (or are referencing a ring for a gift) but don’t know the size? This is the method for you.
Print out our chart for the full range of rings size to compare to. Use the print icon at the top of the page.
Place the ring on top of each circle until you find the perfect match. You can tell you have the right measurement when your ring fits neatly inside the circle.
Double check your measurements for accuracy.
Use Our Ring Size Chart to Find Your Size
Compare your measurements and find your ring size with our ring size chart. We use standard US sizing which ranges from 3 to 13.5.

Yes! We offer ring resizing as one of our many Jewelry Repair services. You can book an appointment with our expert jewelers at a Zales store near you for an assessment and repair plan to resize your ring so it fits appropriately on your finger.
Your finger size will naturally fluctuate in the hot and cold, but you don’t want your ring to slide off or get stuck on your finger. Here are our suggested solutions for temperature-related fit problems:
In the cold: If your ring spins but stays on your finger, there are slight adjustments that can be made. Ask a Zales jeweler about ring beads or fold-over devices that can fix slight fit issues. However, if it is fully sliding off your finger you may need to resize the ring.
In the heat: Swelling around your ring can happen in hot weather and can be a minor annoyance if your ring fits perfectly otherwise. But, if swelling is causing your ring to be too uncomfortable to wear, it may be worth getting the help of an expert jeweler to size up your ring slightly.
