Choosing the perfect ring size—whether for an engagement, special gift, or personal treat—should be simple and stress-free. Our Printable Ring Size Chart for South Africa makes determining ring sizes easy and accurate, taking the uncertainty out of buying rings online or preparing for a surprise proposal.
How to Measure Ring Size at Home
Step 1: Print the Ring Sizer
Print this South African ring sizing guide on standard A4 paper. Ensure your printer is set to 100% or “actual size” to guarantee precise measurements.
Step 2: Verify the Scale
Use a credit card in the designated placeholder or measure the provided reference line with a ruler to confirm your printout is correctly scaled.
Step 3: Select a Suitable Ring
Choose an existing ring worn comfortably by the intended wearer on the same finger where the new ring will sit, such as an engagement ring.
Step 4: Position the Ring on the Chart
Place the chosen ring over the sizing circles on the chart, beginning with the circle you believe closely matches.
Step 5: Determine the Correct Ring Size
The correct ring size is identified when the circle fits snugly inside the ring without visible gaps. The printed circle should match exactly the inside circumference of the ring, with the outer edge just visible against the ring’s inner edge.
Step 6: Ensure Accurate Measurements
Take measurements at room temperature, as finger size may fluctuate due to temperature changes.
Step 7: Confirm Your Size
If the ring sits between two sizes, opt for the larger size to ensure a comfortable fit.
Step 8: Record Your Ring Size
Note down the accurately measured size for easy reference when purchasing your new ring online or in-store.
Additional Ring Sizing Tips
- Place the ring flat on the sizing circle without any tilt for precision.
- Remember that wider ring bands typically require a slightly larger size to fit comfortably.
- Whenever possible, compare your home measurement with a professional jeweller’s sizing to double-check accuracy.
