Convert Ring Sizes Instantly

Ring size conversion page helps to convert jewelry ring sizes used around the globe. As you could probably expect, people use different scales to mark ring sizes in various parts of the world. This is not a problem though, our converter lets you instantly convert a ring size from any scale to all the others.

Ring sizes can be measured by inner diameter of a ring or by the length of the inner circumference of a ring.

Unlike many other ring conversion tables you can find on the web, we use formulas to calculate exact conversions based on official standards instead of providing a loose approximate matching. We want to make sure you get the most reliable conversion result.

For most systems we round up sizes to a quarter of a size step. If this rounding-up adds difference of more than 1%, we show the actual difference as a percent of the ring diameter. It may sound cumbersome, but it's easy. Just try it – enter any ring size and get it converted to all other sizes.

Inner Diameter and Circumference of a Ring

These measurements represent size of a ring regardless of any national scale. Referring to a diameter or a circumference of a ring in inches or millimeters is the most reliable way to check the size.

Ring Sizes in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (Wheat Sheaf)

Wheat Sheaf is the commonly known gauge for measuring ring sizes in the UK. The official name is British Standard 1283:1945, later in 1987 replaced by British Standard 6820:1987. The wheatsheaf sizes use letters from A to Z, then Z+1, Z+2, etc. with half and quarter-sizes. In the old standard an increase of a full size used to add 1/64th of an inch in ring diameter. The new standard of 1987 redefined the sizes to be based on metric units, now an increase of a full size adds 1.25 mm of an inner circumference. The good news is the old and the new standards are in practice virtually the same.

The smallest possible ring size is A, it corresponds to ring inner circumference of 37.5 mm. For even smaller circumference lengths we still display size A with the percent difference, e.g. A [-10%].

Please enter partial sizes like this: C 1/2 or Z+3 1/4.

A few European and South American countries as well as India use another system of sizes. They subtract 40 from the length of the ring circumference in millimeters to get the ring size.

The minimal ring size 0 in this scale corresponds to circumference length of 40 millimeters. For even smaller circumference lengths we still display size 0 with the percent difference, e.g. 0 [-10%].

Does convert-me.com really exist since 1996? In fact it's even older. We launched the first version of our online units converter in 1995. There was no JavaScript there and all conversions had to be done on server. The service was slow. A year later the technology allowed us to create an instant units conversion service that became the prototype of what you see now.
