What is my ring size?
There are three easy ways to find your ring size on the Groove Life website: Take a Quiz, use our App, or print out our ring sizing cheat sheet. You can discover your ring size by measuring the circumference of your finger. Wrap a string around the finger, mark where the ends meet, and then lay it flat next to a ruler to measure the length in inches. Your ring size should land somewhere between 2 and 3 inches, including a possible fraction, like 2 ¼. You can then translate that number on a ring sizing chart. Most ring sizes land between the numbers 4 to 14. Skinny fingers will range from 4 to 6 and bulky fingers will range from 12 to 14.

Do I measure my ring size by the diameter or circumference?
You should measure your ring size based on the circumference of your finger, not the diameter. Circumference is the length of one complete 'lap' around a circle, and diameter is the length of the line segment that cuts a circle in half. Since you can’t go through your finger, probably better to just go around. Grab our printable ring sizing page, cut out the sizer, wrap it around your finger and check out your ring size.

Are UK ring sizes different from American ring sizes?
Yes, ring sizes in the UK (England) are different from American ring sizes. In England, along with the rest of Europe, they use a lettering system to measure rings, not numbers.

Better to stick with Uncle Sam.
