TUNGSTEN RING - MATTE BLACK (PREMIUM EDITION)

String or Floss Method:

Step-by-step guide to measuring with string or floss

You can get to the correct ring size using a simple piece of string or dental floss. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Wrap the measuring tool (string or floss) around the base of your finger.
2. Take your pen or marker and mark the place where the string overlaps.

Converting the measurement to a ring size

Once you’ve marked the string or floss, use the ruler or tape measure to find out the length of the marked piece. Then, consult the ring size conversion chart by finding the measured dimension on the chart - it will fall into either a full or half-size.

Tips for accurate measurements using string or floss

When calculating the perfect ring size with string or floss, you should pay attention to certain details of the measuring process.

In particular, make sure the measuring tool isn’t too tight or loose. The former would result in a smaller measurement, while the other would indicate a larger size than actually needed.

Also, ensure that the string or floss you’re using for your free ring measurement doesn’t stretch when pulled. This would also lead to inaccurate results.

Finally, mark the string so that the marking is visible on two points. If you only mark one point, you won’t have a clear reference for measuring, i.e., the starting point will be unclear. It’s worth mentioning that women’s and men’s rings have very delicate dimensions. At the end of the day, a single millimeter might make the difference between an ideal band and one you can’t wear.

Materials and Tools Needed

Let’s list the materials you’ll need to get the exact size at home. Note that you won’t need to use all of these materials for the same method. Instead, some of them will serve as measurement tools in separate measuring techniques.

1. Printable ring size chart
2. String or floss
3. Ruler or tape measure
4. Pen or marker
5. Scissors
6. Existing ring (optional)

Of the aforementioned tools, the ring size chart, pen or marker, and scissors will be necessary for every method. String or dental floss and a ruler or tape measure will be the main means of measuring in different methods. Finally, a current ring will come in handy in terms of comparison.
