Let’s get one thing straight... you do not have weird fingers. No, they are not too big nor too thin. We’re all unique.
AS A RULE OF THUMB, YOUR RING SHOULD FIT YOUR FINGER WELL ENOUGH SO IT WON’T FALL OFF WHEN YOU PLAY THE MARACA, BUT IT SHOULD ALSO BE LOOSE ENOUGH TO FIT OVER YOUR KNUCKLE WITHOUT TOO MUCH DIFFICULTY.
keep in mind:
OUR HANDS REACT TO CHANGES IN WEATHER AND TIME OF THE DAY.
THAT BEING SAID, YOUR FINGERS ARE THINNER EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WHEN IT’S COLD.
THEY EXPAND WHEN IT’S TOO HOT.
THE BEST TIME TO MEASURE YOUR SIZE IS WHEN YOUR FINGERS ARE WARM, MOST LIKELY AT THE END OF THE DAY.
MEASURE THEM 2-3 TIMES, AT SEVERAL POINTS OF THE DAY, JUST TO BE SURE!

USING A PAPER STRIP
- Wrap the paper strip around the base of your finger. Make sure it is below the joint of your finger, and closer to your knuckle than it is to the base (just to be sure you don't need to saw off the ring or finger later on).
- Mark where it starts and where it meets on your finger.
- Measure the length of the paper with a ruler, and note down its measurement in millimeters (it will be your ring’s inner circumference!).
- Then, pick the closest measurement on the ring size chart to find yours.
Et, voila!
USING AN EXISTING RING
- The easiest method is to carefully measure the inner diameter of an available ring using a ruler. Do not use any wide ring for this purpose. A simple band would do.
- Note down the measurement in millimeters and pick the closest one on the ring size chart.
Ta-da!
