When you're out shopping for wedding rings, jewelers will have that multiple ring contraption to measure your ring finger. But, if you decide to do your ring shopping online, which is a popular trend, it's very important to have the correct measurement.

Here's how to properly measure your ring finger with just a strip of paper.

  • Take a piece of paper no wider than 3/4"

  • Wrap it around the base of the finger your ring is going on

  • With a pen, mark where it overlaps
  • Take a ruler and measure from the starting point to the pen mark

  • Use this measurement and refer to the ring chart below

    • A couple tips to remember to make sure your measurement is as accurate as possible:

  • Don't measure cold fingers, this is when they are their smallest.
  • for the most accurate measurement, measure at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest.

  • Make sure the measuring paper slides off easily over the knuckle.

    • Read here if your rings are going to include diamonds.
