Ring size converter
Look up the published crosswalk between UK, US, ISO, Asian and Swiss sizes. If you are starting from a ring rather than a size, the size finder measures its inside diameter first.
The sourced international conversion chart
GIA's published rows run from US 3 to 13.5 and include UK half sizes. ISO size is the nearest whole-millimetre inner circumference. A blank cell means the source gives no equivalent for that row. Each whole UK size links to its own page.

Conversion questions
- What is a UK size N in US sizes?
- A UK N is a US 7. The UK uses letters on the Wheatsheaf scale and the US uses numbers, and they do not line up neatly: roughly two UK letters to one US size, which is why converting by eye goes wrong.
- How do European and ISO ring sizes work?
- ISO 8653 defines ring size as the inner circumference in millimetres. A 54 designation therefore means 54mm around the inside. This converter rounds the measured GIA chart row to the nearest whole-millimetre ISO size.
- Are international ring-size conversions exact?
- No. Regional scales are separate measuring systems, so a conversion chart is a nearest crosswalk rather than a mathematical identity. Keep the circumference and diameter with the converted label, and use a jeweller's matching ring gauges for a final order.
- Why are some Swiss and Asian conversions blank?
- Because the published GIA chart does not assign a regional label to every US quarter size or UK half size. A blank is more honest than inventing a number between two listed sizes.
- Can I convert a ring size from a diameter measurement?
- Yes, provided the ring is round. Multiply the inside diameter in millimetres by pi to get the circumference, then find the nearest row. A 17.3mm diameter is 54.3mm around, which the GIA chart maps to UK N and US 7.
