1. Use a Ring That Fits for Comparison

Already have a ring that fits perfectly, but don’t know the size? No problem! You can use tools, like our paper test, to find your measurement. Follow the directions on our printable Ring Sizer tool and easily match your ring with its size.

2. Try Out the String Test

Rather start fresh with a new measurement? All you need is a piece of string, a marker and a ruler. First, wrap the string securely around your ring wearing finger and mark where the string overlaps. Line up the taut, but not stretched, marked string with a ruler for your measurement.

3. Opt for the Paper Test

If you don’t have string at home, you can do the exact same method but with paper. All you need to do is cut a long strip of paper, wrap it around your finger, mark the overlapping sections, and measure. You can also try out printable paper test that tells you your size right on the paper you use to measure.

If your ring is uncomfortably tight during hot weather, it may be worth considering sizing up the ring. If it is too loose in colder weather, but otherwise comfortable, you can consider other jewelry aids. Talk to a jeweler about alterations like ring-beads or fold-overs that can give you a snugger fit without fully altering ring size.

Yes! If you're not happy with your purchase, we want to make it right. You can return or exchange your ring at any Jared store for up to 30 days after purchase (date shipped for online orders).
Please note: We can handle a return at Jared.com but exchanges must be done at one of our stores.

Some rings cannot be resized depending on the material and type of alteration. Metals like tungsten carbine, titanium, and stainless steel will typically not be resized by jewelers. Also, it is not recommended to alter a ring up or down by more than two ring sizes.
