In Australia, rings are measured on an alphabetical scale including half sizes. The same scale is used in Ireland and the United Kingdom. A ring that fits well will be just smaller than the second knuckle of the finger. This way the fit is comfortable but it will not slide off the finger.

- {2} Mark the string at the point it overlaps
- {3} Measure the length between its end and the mark you've made. This gives you the circumference of your finger.
- {4} Enter this measurement into the table on this page to get your ring size.
