Most rings can be resized the method of doing so depends on the complexity of the ring and its material. In Russia, ring sizes are equal to the inner diameter rounded to whole and half numbers, sometimes to quarters, for example diameter 16.92 mm is equal to size 17, 16.1 mm is equal to size 16.Įquivalency table Ring dimensions in various ring size measurement systems Inside diameter

In Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and Switzerland, ring sizes are specified as the circumference minus 40 mm: for example, size 10 in this system is equivalent to ISO 8653:2016 size 50. In India, Japan and China, ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale with whole sizes that does not have a linear correlation with diameter or circumference. For a baseline, ring size C has a circumference of 40mm. However in 1987 BSI updated the standard to the metric system so that one alphabetical size division equals 1.25mm of circumferential length. Originally in 1945, the divisions were based on the ring inside diameter in steps of 1/64 th inch.
In Ireland, the United Kingdom and Australia, ring sizes are specified using an alphabetical scale with half sizes. There does not appear to have been any improvement in the standard since then. The Circular of the Bureau of Standards summarizes the situation with this system: "While there apparently is only one standard in use in the United States, in reality, because of the lack of specific dimensions and because of the errors introduced by the adoption of a common commercial article as a pattern, there are many, although similar, standards." The standards are generally consistent and remain so. In the United States, Canada, and Mexico, ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale with 1⁄ 4 steps, where whole sizes differ by 0.032 inches (0.81 mm) of internal diameter, equivalent to 0.1005 inches (2.55 mm) of internal circumference. Other ring size measurement systems are used in areas that do not use ISO 8653:2016. ISO size (internal ring circumference, mm) Relationship between ISO size and internal diameter The sizes are in millimeters and correspond directly to the outer circumference of the ring stick to the inner circumference of the finger gauge. This international standard specifies a method to measure the ring-size using a ring stick with defined characteristics, which is used during manufacturing steps, and specifies the designation of the ring-size.įor jeweller-consumer relationships, the finger size is measured with a finger gauge set made up of a ring for each size with the same diameter and tolerance as the ring stick ones. ISO sizes are used in Austria, France, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia ( Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland), and other countries in Continental Europe.
ISO 8653:2016 defines standard ring sizes in terms of the inner circumference of the ring measured in millimetres.
Measurement systems International standard Digital ring sticks can be used for highly accurate measurements. Ring sticks are tools used to measure the inner size of a ring, and are typically made from plastic, delrin, wood, aluminium, or of multiple materials. Ring sizes can be measured physically by a paper, plastic, or metal ring sizer (as a gauge) or by measuring the inner diameter of a ring that already fits.
