Now I want to introduce you to the most famous and accurate methods that will help you understand how to determine the size of the ring. In order to take full advantage of them, it is necessary to stock up on the appropriate pictures, to check the conformity of the scale (through the usual ruler), and patience.
So method one
The ring must be put on a circle that is most suitable for the size of your finger. First, make sure that the line is not outside the ring, but inside. If you need to decide between two sizes, then it is better to choose the larger one.
By the way, you can make a template for such measurements yourself:
- 50 kopecks is equal to 19.5 mm;
- 5 kopecks is equal to 18.5 mm;
- 10 kopecks is equal to 17.5 mm;
- 1 penny equals 15.5 mm.
The face of the coin must be rubbed with a pencil stylus, or, as an option, the coin can be put on a sheet of paper and rubbed on its surface. Then it is recommended to strengthen the paper (by gluing the template on some sheet of cardboard), cut out the necessary circles with the help of a clerical knife and attach a coin in order to confirm the correct cutout. Here is the template and ready.
Now you know how to find out your ring size using one method, it is worth starting to familiarize yourself with the following.
Second method
You need to find a piece of twine or any non-stretching thread (paper with a width of 4 mm is also suitable). You need to wrap it around your finger. This must be done tightly enough, however, not to overdo it.
Next, you should take a pencil and mark the points on the twine where coincidences occur. Attach a thread with marks to a regular ruler and find out your size. When choosing between two, you need to choose a larger volume.
And finally, the third method
Measurements by this method begin with printing and cutting the dimensional tape along the contour. Then, a cut should be made on the line, twist an ordinary circle and put the tape on your finger (at the same time, pull the latch so that the paper snugly fits on the finger itself). The last digit on the scale will be your ring size.
Now you know how to determine the size of the ring, and we hope you do it right!
