How to Find the Right Ring Size: MÖHYA Signature® 925 Sterling Silver Guide

Buying a ring without knowing the right size is one of the biggest fears for those choosing jewellery online. The good news is that finding your size at home is simple, quick, and requires no special tools. In this guide, MÖHYA Signature® brings together the most reliable methods for you to choose the right ring on the first try, whether to treat yourself or to surprise someone else.

Why ring size makes all the difference

A ring that is too loose slips and is easily lost in everyday life. A tight ring is uncomfortable and can be difficult to remove. Beyond comfort, the correct size influences how the piece sits on the hand and how details, such as natural stones or engravings, are visible. At MÖHYA Signature®, every 925 sterling silver ring is designed to last for years, so it is worth confirming the size before completing your purchase.

Method 1: measure a ring that already fits you well

Choose a ring you wear frequently that fits well on the finger where you intend to wear the new piece. Place the ring on a ruler and measure the internal diameter, from one edge to the other, in millimetres. If you prefer, trace the inside outline of the ring on a sheet of paper and measure the distance between the two furthest points. This method is usually the most accurate, as it eliminates the variable of finger swelling throughout the day.

Method 2: measure the finger directly

Use a piece of string, a ribbon, or a thin strip of paper. Wrap it around the base of the finger where you will wear the ring and mark the point where the string overlaps. Measure that distance with a ruler: this value corresponds to the circumference of your finger. Repeat the measurement three or four times, preferably at the end of the day when the finger is slightly more swollen, and avoid measuring with cold hands.

How to measure someone else's finger without them suspecting

Do you want to surprise someone with a promise ring or a special gift? Borrow, under any pretext, a ring the person already wears on the correct finger, even if just for a few minutes, and return it to its place before they notice it's missing. Measure the internal diameter with a ruler, exactly as in the first method. Another discreet option is to ask someone close, such as a sister, friend, or cousin, who may already know the answer without raising suspicion.

Signs that the size is wrong

• The ring constantly rotates to the same side when the hand is at rest
• It leaves a red mark or a deep line on the skin after removal
• It is difficult to pass over the knuckle, even with soap or lotion
• It slides off on its own when the hand is wet or cold

If you recognise any of these signs in a ring you already own, it is worth checking the size before your next purchase.

When you are between two sizes

It is normal for finger size to vary slightly between morning and night, or between seasons. If you are undecided between two sizes, MÖHYA Signature® recommends opting for the larger one, especially for pieces with stones or more volume, as fingers tend to swell more than they shrink. Another safe option is to choose one of our adjustable rings, designed precisely to accommodate slight variations in the finger without losing the fit.

Stackable rings and promise rings: why the measurement matters even more

With stackable rings, the right size ensures that the pieces rotate together and do not come loose throughout the day. In a promise ring, the exact measurement carries even more weight because it is a piece intended to accompany the person every day for many years. In these cases, if you have discreet access to a ring the person already wears, measure that ring instead of guessing.

The quality of 925 silver also depends on the fit

A well-sized ring better preserves the finish of the piece. When a ring rotates or presses the finger too hard, friction accelerates the wear of the polish and, in pieces with natural stones, it can slightly loosen the setting over time. That is why, at MÖHYA Signature®, the quality of the 925 silver and the care in the finish of each piece only make sense when the size is also correct. The two things always go together, and it is this attention to detail that distinguishes a piece designed to last from a common one.
