your ring finger is the 4th one right? just checking cos i normally wear rings on my 2nd finger...anyway i have no idea what width it is let me just get a ruler...ok around the knuckle it's about 1.3cm wide and that's really approximate its very hard to measure your finger width....

circumference = Pi*D = 3.14159265358979323*1.3cm = 4.084cm

but this assumes your finger is perfectly circular. ;D
