SIZING
A Comprehensive Guide to Finding Your Ring Size
Finding the perfect ring size is essential to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for your jewellery. Whether you're purchasing a ring for yourself or as a gift, accurately determining your ring size is crucial. In this blog post, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to measure your ring size accurately.
-
Use a Ring Sizing Chart: as above. Salty Mafia uses the US ring sizes. 5 through to 17.

Measure an Existing Ring: If you already own a ring that fits your finger perfectly, you can use it as a reference to determine your ring size. Take a ruler or a measuring tape and measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters. Match the measurement to the closest size on the ring sizing chart above.
-
Measure Your Finger: If you prefer a DIY approach, you can measure your finger at home. Take a piece of string or a thin strip of paper and wrap it around the base of the finger you intend to wear the ring on. Ensure that the string or paper is snug but not too tight. Mark the point where the string or paper overlaps, and then measure the length in millimeters using a ruler. Match the measurement to a ring sizing chart to determine your ring size.
-
Consider Finger Swelling: Keep in mind that finger sizes can fluctuate due to factors such as temperature, time of day, and physical activity. It's advisable to measure your ring size during the afternoon or evening when your fingers tend to be slightly larger. Also, consider the specific finger you intend to wear the ring on, as sizes can vary between fingers.
-
Use a Ring Sizing Tool: Consider purchasing a ring sizing tool or a set of plastic ring sizers. These tools typically consist of a series of plastic rings in different sizes. Simply slide the rings onto your finger until you find the one that fits comfortably. The size of the chosen ring will be your ring size.
Finding your ring size doesn't have to be a complicated process. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can accurately determine your ring size and ensure a comfortable fit for your jewellery. Whether you choose to consult a professional, use a ring sizing chart, or measure your finger at home, taking the time to find the perfect ring size will enhance your overall jewellery-wearing experience.
