How to measure ring sizes

Pearls are a unique gemstone. You can give pearl rings to somebody who is very close to you. You can give it to your daughter on her 15^th birthday or to your wife on your 1^st marriage anniversary, or you can have got one for yourself. But, if you decide to give a ring to anybody, the first problem arises is about the size.

Firstly, the easiest method is to get the ring size determined by a jeweler, if this is possible. But, sometimes if it is a suprise gift there are other ways to get the ring size:

One way is to take a piece of paper or a string and wrap it around the base of the finger. Mark the point where the string is found overlapping towards the other end. Then use a ruler to measure the string’s length from the starting point to the marked area. This measurement can be used in finding the appropriate size of your ring.

It is always better to measure the size of the finger by the end of the day because at this time the finger is at its largest. Do not take the measurement when your fingers are cold. As this makes the finger unusually smaller in size.

If you want to present the ring as a surprise gift, then you can take the ring of the person unknowingly and press it into a piece of soap, clay or any other malleable substance. You can also mark the interior of the ring with a pen on a paper and give it all to the jeweler to find out the exact size.
