This guide provides two simple measurement methods, fitting rules on how to find the suitable ring size, practical tips, and key principles to help you find the right ring size like a pro without stepping into a jewelry shop, ensuring daily comfort and perfect stacking and styling. 

Step 1: Gather your measuring Tools

What will you need?

• A ring you already own
• A string or a thin strip of paper
• A ruler or tape measure (in millimeters)
• A pen or marker
• A piece of paper to write down the measurements
• A pair of scissors
• A printable or online version of the ring size chart found on Jewels by Galla (Figure 3)

Step 2: Choose Your Measuring Method

Option 1: A String or Strip of Paper Method:

Use this method if you don’t already have a ring that fits you:

1. Wrap the measuring tap, string, or strip of paper around the base of your finger.
2. Make sure it feels snug but comfortable, not too tight or too loose. 
3. Mark the point where the ends overlap and mark it with a pen. 
4. Measure the length (in millimeters) using a ruler or measuring tape; this number represents your finger’s circumference. 
5. Compare your measurement with a printable or online ring size chart on Jewels by Galla (Figure 3) to find your corresponding ring size.  

Option B: Using a Ring You Own Method:

Try this if you already own a ring that fits perfectly. 

1.On a flat surface, place your ring on it and using a clear ruler (in millimeters) to measure the inside diameter (straight across the middle) of your ring.

2. Compare the measurements and match it with the ring size chart guide (Figure 3).

Fit Rules on How to Find the Suitable Ring Size:

• Check at the Right Time: Measure your finger when it’s at its largest or normal size either in the afternoon or in the evening.
• Use the Correct Finger: Each finger (and hand) can vary in size throughout the day, so measure the specific finger you plan to wear the ring on.
• Account for Knuckles and Finger Differences: Measure each finger separately and consider your knuckle size for an accurate fit. If you get slightly different results, take the average to determine your true ring size. 
• The Ring Size Should be Relaxed but Comfortable: The ring should slide on smoothly, like butter, yet it fits snugly slightly and gives a slight squeeze over the knuckle when you put it on.
• Seasonally Recheck Ring Size Depending on the Environment: Factors like temperature, hydration, and body weight can affect how you ring fits.
• Wider Bands Should be Slightly Larger in Size: Choose a thicker band that’s one size up slightly, so the ring is relaxed on your finger.
• Stay Away From Extreme Temperatures: Cold weather can cause your fingers to shrink, whereas, warm or hot weather can make your fingers to swell. Extreme temperatures can affect how your ring will fit.
  

Key Principles to Know When to Measure Your Fingers:

• It’s important that you should figure out what size stacking rings you should get to the shape of your true ring size. 
• For a wider band when stacking, you could size up by about a half to give your fingers some flexibility and room when wearing several rings. 
• For three or more ring stacks, it’s recommended a half size to a whole to increase the comfort.
• A thicker ring stack, you should lean toward sizing up to half a size up for a more comfortable fit.
• For a thin ring stack, you can stick to your usual ring size
• Depending on the season, lifestyle, or your finger preference, if your finger tends to swell, for example, on hot days, then its best to choose one size up to be comfortable all year long. 

Tips to Avoid Purchasing the Wrong Ring:

1- Depending on your preference, if you like all the rings the same size or if you want to change your stackable rings set. Differentiating the sizes for your stack can let each ring fit comfortably on various points on your fingers. 

2- It’s best to repeat the process approximately three times during the day or on different days.

3- Check Jewels by Galla’s Size Charts: The ring sizes can change depending on the brand, design, and structure. Always refer to the Jewels by Galla’s specific size chart before purchasing.

4- Consider the band width: The thinker the band will fit better than thinner ones. If your measurements fall  between two sizes, for a wider ring, to maintain comfort.

5-Use a printable ring size chart for the best result.

6- When buying a ring online, try not to guess the size of your ring because it can lead to an inaccurate size.

7- Focus on what style suits you more and the designs and colours you prefer and like.
