Whether you're buying a ring for yourself or someone else, you'll need to know the ring size of the lucky finger. This is easy to determine with some simple tools and a bit of information.

I have to say something about the instructions, specifically number 6. If you are posting this as the "Subject Matter Expert," qualified to provide this information, then you should be complete. Your reader would expect that as an Expert, you would know what web sites are best to help then complete the project. Further, since the Difficulty is listed Easy, you might have considered a few of the many hyper-links you know so well and are appropriate rather than to ask the student just to go out there and find a site that will allow them to finish the project.
This is admittedly the low-tech, least professional approach than our other colleagues suggested, but I have even seen fairly reputable magazines and catalogs use the exact methodology you are describing. In fact, the thing that brought me to the site today is that my catalog usually has a cut-out ring sizer, but not this month.

We have a jewelry store and have been doing trade work for 15 years. To find your finger size you need to go to a store with a set of sizers (narrow sizer if you plan to get a narrow band, and wide sizer if you plan to get a wide band). Most stores will have at least the narrow sizers (WalMart has plastic ones that will work and they usual have no problem sizing your finger if they are not busy), and for the wide band just get a half size larger.

It is much easier to have circles with the size of rings next to the circles, you can then put a ring that fits you or loved one (and also a ring that already goes over the knuckles) on this circle and match the size. It is somewhat faulty to measure the finger when so many people have knuckles bigger (like arthritis in older people). If you are going to a jeweler you can leave it to them, but to order online more accuracy is needed.
