FAQs
How do half sizes work in UK letters?
UK uses 'J 1/2' for the half size between J and K. Some manufacturers skip half sizes; others use them. Always check the brand's specific chart.
What if my US size isn't on the chart?
US ring sizes go from 1 (children) to 16 (extra large). The chart above covers most adult sizes. For unusual sizes, divide circumference by 3.14159 to get inner diameter, then match to brand's chart.
