To read a ring sizer, you align the inside edge of the ring you are measuring with the corresponding markings on the sizer tool.
Understanding Ring Sizer Markings
A ring sizer tool typically features numbered markings that represent standard ring sizes. These tools also often include smaller marks between the main numbers to indicate fractional sizes, commonly in quarter increments (1/4, 1/2, 3/4).
According to the provided reference, here's how to interpret the position of the ring on the sizer:
-
Exact Match on a Number: If the inside edge of your ring sits perfectly on top of a specific number on the sizer, that number indicates the exact ring size.
- Example: If the ring sits exactly on the 8, the ring size is 8.
-
Sitting Between Numbers: If the ring falls between two numbered markings, you use the smaller marks to determine the size. These marks represent the fractions of a size.
- Example: If the ring is between 8 and 9:
- It would be 8 and 1/4 size.
- It would be 8 and 1/2 size.
- It would be 8 and 3/4 size.
- Example: If the ring is between 8 and 9:
-
Sitting Over the Next Number: If the inside edge of the ring aligns with or sits just over the next full number marking, that number indicates the size.
- Example: If the ring sits over the 9, the ring size is 9.
By carefully matching the inner circumference of the ring to the markings on the sizer, you can accurately determine the correct ring size.
