How to determine your ring size at home

If you have seen your rings in an online store and plan to order them, so there are no trying-on options, you can determine the ring size at home using various methods.

It's easiest if you already wear rings that fit you perfectly.

How to measure ring size?

Measure the inner diameter of the ring in millimeters with a ruler. The resulting number is the ring size. Example: Your ring diameter is 16 millimeters, so your ring size is 16.

This technique can also be used if you have planned to propose to your beloved woman and you need to determine the size of the engagement ring.

Even if you don't wear rings, you can determine the desired ring size.

How to measure the ring finger to determine the ring size?

Wrap a strip of paper or string around your finger. Measure the resulting length of the paper strip or string in millimeters and divide by 3.14 to get the ring size. Example: The length of a measured strip of paper is 50.50 millimeters. 50.50 : 3.14 = 16. So the ring size is 16.

Another modern option to make ring sizing easier is applications. Search for the most suitable one by key words: ring size.

If in doubt, consult the seller of the ring.

Engagement Ring Trends for 2025

Let's take a look at what the most popular ring designs will be in the next wedding season!

White gold

Not everyone is friends with gold. If you prefer silver, white gold rings are a good option for both engagement and wedding rings. If the groom intends to provide an engagement ring with a colored gemstone, the white gold background will be a real compliment. Imagine white gold fused with black rhodium, elegantly adorned with an emerald!

Antique diamonds

Antique rings are indescribably beautiful and mysterious, but that is not the only reason why antique rings are in demand. The second reason is environmental protection and sustainability, as well as not using artificial lab-grown gemstones. Fine details, luxury and filigree handwork make antique rings an increasingly popular choice.

Lab grown diamonds

Those who want a more modern touch engagement ring with an impressive size diamond at a friendlier price are increasingly choosing lab-grown gemstones. The laboratory conditions in which gems are grown mimic the natural environment in which diamonds form deep in the earth's crust. The natural process of diamond formation can last millions of years, therefore artificially grown precious stones are also preferred by grooms and couples who care about the preservation of the environment. Man-made diamonds have the same physical, chemical and optical properties as natural diamonds.

Oval-shaped diamonds

The classic oval shape is a compliment to the bride's hands - it both lengthens and visually slims the fingers, and highlights the lady's elegance. In an oval shape, there is often one brilliant, or two - put together. An oval cut diamond of the same weight will appear about ten percent larger in size than a round diamond.

Colored gems

Rings with colored gemstones look particularly expressive. Pink, green or blue sapphires, deep red ruby, deep green emerald - these precious stones will stand out even more and look exquisite together with diamonds.

Lighter tone trend – diamonds in champagne, amber and peach tones. Champagne-toned diamonds are the perfect compromise between a classic engagement ring with a center diamond and the desire to add uniqueness to the ring.

Expressive and personalized designs

More and more often, couples and grooms choose rings of unique design that do not fit into the standard framework of the theme of engagement. Such rings tend to have unusual shapes, asymmetrical elements, a lot of gold, colorful gems, expressive lines, thus presenting the wearer's personality. A different choice also has a beautiful meaning: love is unique.

Diamonds of different shapes and sizes

In search of uniqueness, compositions of precious stones of different sizes and shapes and toi et moi, which convey the wonderful truth about the couple: you and me, have become popular. One of the first to popularize toi et moi rings was Napoleon, who gave such a diamond and sapphire engagement ring to his beloved Josephine, a widow with two children who was six years older than Napoleon.

Pearl details

Pearls will give a diamond engagement ring a particularly feminine feel. They can be individual pearls, placing them in the center of the ring in a classic fashion, or additional hoops made of small pearls.

Multi-ring cocktail

A combination of different metals, styles and precious stones, one hoop together with another - richly decorated hands with several rings on one finger will give a luxurious feel and look especially current. In this way, both the combination of rings and each ring individually will stand out, if you find, for example, one ring with fine stones, another with a delicate engraving, and the third one with a matte texture in a different color. A mix of several rings will also suit lovers of an austere style, wearing several delicate hoops. Combining different metals is also relevant. Gold and silver together, why not?

Maybe this trend will highlight your engagement or wedding ring by matching it with an additional accessory?
