Don't know your finger size? In this video I'm gonna do a step-by-step
tutorial to teach you how to measure your own ring finger size at home!
Hi Everyone! Welcome back to my channel, this is Bonnie with By Bonnie Jewelry, where I talk about
all things diamonds! So in today's episode I'm gonna teach you how to measure your ring size at home!
Okay, so there are several ways to do it but honestly my favorite and the most accurate
way is to order something like this on Amazon... this is an actual ring sizer that you can try on
You can order them as a set with this...so for people that are doing it as a surprise, this is
helpful because you will actually be able to take this...your significant other's ring and slide it
on the measuring stick and it will tell you what size this is...so this is actually currently a size
5.25...right here. So a couple of things to make sure okay...if you are looking
for a size for an engagement ring...you know that are something like...you know super dainty like this
do not use the ones that are like the super wide ones...you know these are like currently like
2 millimeter, which is pretty accurate! Normally, so what you want to do here is that first you want to
find your size...or oh well you don't know your size right now...I know my size...I'm a 5.5 so
this side will...this ring sizer will tell you on this side what the sizes are okay...if you look
here it will say size 7 for example...7 right there and then minus this is 6 minus....so minus
means half size! Now pay attention sometimes you could be a quarter size, you don't know...
So first things first is you know...you wanna put one on, so if you're like...I'm like 5'3, 110 pounds
so I'm a 5.5...this is 5.5 right so what you want to do is you know, right now when I
put it on you can see that I put it on pretty easy right... and then I'm taking it off and it's like
you want to see this like, slight struggle over the knuckle...a little bit over the knuckle but not
a whole lot like...just like that....that's a perfect really comfortable size for me 5.5 and
that's pretty much on like most of my rings I'm doing 5.5...but if I'm gonna get
like one of these like...really really dainty ones I may go down to like 5.25 and I will
still fit it and that will help if a little bit tighter on those thinner bands, will help the
ring spin less on your finger right....so if I do a 5... it's...it still fits right this is a 5...
but it's starting to get tight a little bit and then you can kind of see that like...you know
after leaving it for a little bit, you can kind of see the meat...like on the side, kind of start to
you know...get a little puffy and then like this is... I can still take it off but like
you can tell that it's a little bit harder...So you really want that in between something...
I mean...like I said...I can still fit the 5 but it will just be really tight, when I'm hot...
So pay attention to when you measure your finger...your body temperature and what you're eating the night
before...you don't want to eat like...you know a bunch of salty food and drink a bunch of alcohol and
then do your ring sizing the next day....that's gonna be the worst because then you're gonna be
the most like bloated okay...So you don't want that... you want to do it when you're a normal temperature
and you haven't like you know...done a workout or have any like crazy activity...you want normal
temperature okay...So this is a 6 on this finger and you can see...you see how like this just comes
right off right...so this is a little bit too loose but if I'm gonna be ordering a ring online say
that's gonna be 5...6 - 6.5 millimeter you know, which is like you know this thick then
I'm gonna need that extra size right...so that will be one tip to how to size your finger at home!
I know a lot of the free sizers... it comes with a like...little zip tie thing...
I don't really like that so much...I feel like it's again not super accurate! So remember what you
what you order online as a fashion ring is not the same as an engagement ring, okay! An engagement ring
has a center stone on top, which means that it has weight on top...okay, so something that is you know
normally your fashion ring is size 7... if you order an engagement in 7, most likely you know
that diamond will spin on you a lot...! So keep in mind those few things when you size your
finger at home! This you can get on Amazon...I'll drop the link...it should be super easy...again
this also pay attention to the width of the band, if it's you know something
too thick or just consider which ring you're gonna be buying and what millimeter and of course
tell the jeweler as much information as you can! So that's it! That is it for the tutorial on how
to size your finger at home. And for those of you, who don't have access to those tools...
well...you can always guess it...but sometimes it could be you know...pretty inaccurate...so I wouldn't
recommend doing that! All right, if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comment
