2. Understand Your Finger Shape
Depending on your finger shape, the size and fit of your ring may differ. For instance, if you have a tapered finger shape, your ring may fit the tightest around the base and require to be caution over rings slipped off your finger due to smaller knuckle. This means that tapered fingers need a more narrow band to feel the tighter fit.
If you have a big-knuckled finger, your finger may be tighter around the knuckle. You may need to measure both your knuckle and finger and select a size that lays in between the two. This allows you to slide your ring over your knuckle without too much struggle.
3. The Ring Band Width
Rings with thicker bands can have a more comfortable fit when there is more metal embracing your finger. However, it would be recommended for you to consider one size up as the wider band will fit slightly tighter. For a thinner band, it will cover less of your finger which may cause you to feel a looser fit.
Keep in mind, that the bandwidth for men and women is always different.

One of the simplest ways to guess your ring size is to use a string or piece of paper and a ruler.
First, wrap either paper or string around your finger.
Next, use a pen to mark where both ends meet. Use the millimeter side of the ruler to measure the marked area for the ring size circumference.
