Understanding US & Canada Ring Sizes
The American and Canadian ring sizing system is based on a numerical scale with whole and half sizes. The difference between consecutive sizes is approximately 0.4mm in diameter or 1.25mm in circumference. Here's what you need to know about this system:
Size Range Overview
- Common Women's Sizes: Typically range from size 3 to 9, with the average being 6 to 6.5
- Common Men's Sizes: Usually range from size 8 to 14, with the average being 9 to 10

- Quarter Sizes: Some specialty jewelers offer quarter sizes for an even more exact fit
How to Measure for US & Canada Ring Sizes
To determine your US or Canadian ring size, you can use several methods:
Measurement Methods
Using a Plastic Ring Sizer
Many jewelry stores offer plastic ring sizers that can be adjusted to fit your finger. These provide direct readings in US sizes.
Measuring Diameter
Measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits you well (in millimeters), then use the chart above to find your size.
Measuring Circumference
Wrap a piece of string or paper strip around your finger, mark where it overlaps, measure the length in millimeters, and use the chart to convert to your US size.
