The Darkling’s Guide to Ring Sizing: Get Your Perfect Fit at Home

The Darkling’s Guide to Ring Sizing: Get Your Perfect Fit at Home

Ever fallen for a killer ring online, only to freeze at the size dropdown? We get it—guessing your ring size is a gamble, and nobody wants to wait weeks for a resize. That’s why we created the “Ring Ruler”—a fast, no-BS way to get your size right using stuff you already have at home.

Why Bother?

Sizing issues are the #1 reason rings get returned. We want your new piece to fit like it was forged just for you, the first time—no awkward trips to the jeweler, no waiting for a replacement.

What You’ll Need

  • A piece of string or a thin strip of paper (about 6 inches)
  • A ruler (millimeters, if you have it)
  • A pen or marker
    That’s it. You’re ready.

How to Measure Like a Pro

  1. Wrap: Take your string/paper and wrap it around the base of your finger (where you’ll wear the ring).
  2. Mark: Use your pen to mark where the string overlaps.
  3. Measure: Lay the string flat and measure the length in millimeters.
  4. Check the Chart: Match your measurement to our chart below.

Pro tips:
  • Measure at room temp—fingers swell in heat.
  • Try 2–3 times for the most accurate fit.
  • If you’re between sizes, go up for wide bands, down for slim ones.
