Ring size Conversion chart

Ring Size Conversion Chart

Use the chart below for conversion of US and Canadian number sizes to the "Wheat sheaf" system of letter sizes used in Ireland, U.K. Australia, ect. Diameters and circumferences are also given in both inches and millimeters. Please note that these measurements are exact for the American system and approximate for the other sizing scales, since the intervals in each system do not correspond exactly.

Ring sizing gauges and finger gauges as well as published charts do not always agree. Add to this that there are two conflicting methods of reading ring gauges so it is quite common for ring sizes to vary slightly from one workshop or jeweler to another. The ring sizing information presented here is the result of a conscientious study and comparison of various sources and is consistent with the instruments and measuring technique that we use in our workshop.

Narrow rings are the most common, but if you are buying a wider ring it is best to try a wider set like the one's shown on the left, or anticipate that you will need a quarter or half size larger if the finger is sized using narrow sizing rings.

The dash marks following every other number on the rings indicate half sizes
7- = 7 1/2

Finger sizes sometimes do not correspond to body size. Finger sizes also are prone to change with temperature, humidity, exercise, what you have been eating, time of day, time of the month, pregnancy and other factors. Dominant hand is usually 1/2 size larger, so if you are right handed and have a size 7 ring that fits the left hand it is reasonable to guess that a 7 1/2 will fit the right hand. Quarter sizes are offered to help you get the best fit, however quarter sizes make more difference on smaller fingers than on large fingers.

The best size is usually the ring that fits snugly and gives a little resistance when you take it off. Wider rings should be a little looser that narrow rings.
Men take note that if you are not used to wearing a ring, the proper size will probably feel tight a first. Many men loose their wedding rings because they choose sizes that are too loose.
