How to check your ring size at home or in store

Avoid impulse buys: Find your perfect fit

Finding the right ring size is crucial for comfort and durability, especially when buying a high-quality ring. At Arven, we want every piece of jewelry to fit perfectly, whether it's a symbolic piece of jewelry, an engagement ring, or a gift. Here are our best tips for how to measure your ring size both at home and in our store in Bergen.

How to find your ring size at home

There are several simple methods for measuring your ring size yourself. Remember that fingers can vary slightly in size throughout the day, so it pays to measure several times to be sure. We would also like to remind you that the safest way to get an accurate result is to come in to us or another jeweler's shop to get a professional measurement. Measuring at home can still give you a good indication, and can be done in the following way:

Method 1: Use a ring you already have

  • Find a ring that fits perfectly on the finger you are measuring your ring size for.

  • Measure the inner diameter (in mm).

  • Compare with a size chart (e.g. 17 mm = size 54).

Method 2: Use paper or thread

  • Cut a narrow piece of paper or use a thread.

  • Wrap it around your finger, tight but comfortable.

  • Mark where the ends meet.

  • Measure the length and use a table to find the correct size.

Method 3: Use a ring measuring app

  • Several apps allow you to measure an existing ring directly on your mobile screen.

  • Place the ring against the measuring circle in the app and adjust until it fits.

  • Note: Make sure the app shows the size in the correct unit of measurement (e.g. European sizing system).

Tip: If you're buying a gift in secret, try borrowing a ring that they wear on the same finger from the person and bringing it to us – we'll be happy to measure it for you.

The safest choice: Visit Arven for professional measurement

Although measuring at home gives a good indication, we always recommend coming to us to have your ring size measured in a safe and accurate way. In our store in Bergen, we use a professional measuring tool and take into account the ring type, width and how the ring will fit. This gives you the most reliable answer, which is especially important when it comes to custom designs, engagement and wedding rings or vintage rings.

We can also help you with sizing and adjustment if you have a ring in the wrong size that you would like to have altered.

Welcome to our store in Bergen , and we will help you find your ring size.
