Ring size guide: find your EU size

In short

An EU ring size is the inner circumference of the ring in millimetres: size 54 means 54 mm around the inside. The most reliable way to find yours is to measure a ring that already fits the intended finger, or to be sized by a jeweler. Jewelborn makes rings from EU 44 to 70 and never estimates a size from a photo.

How EU sizes work

The EU scale, based on ISO 8653, numbers each size by the ring’s inner circumference in millimetres. The inner diameter follows from it: diameter = circumference ÷ π, so size 54 has an inner diameter of about 17.2 mm.

Measure a ring that fits

  1. Choose a ring that fits comfortably on the same finger of the same hand; fingers differ.
  2. Measure the inside diameter at its widest point, in millimetres, with a ruler or a calliper.
  3. Multiply by 3.1416 to get the circumference and choose the closest size in the chart. If you’re between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Measure your finger

  1. Wrap a thin strip of paper around the base of the finger. It should slide over the knuckle with a little resistance.
  2. Mark where the strip overlaps and measure the length in millimetres: that is your circumference.
  3. Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger, and repeat two or three times.

Paper and string methods can be off by a size, especially if the strip stretches or your knuckle is large. For an important piece, a jeweler’s sizing is the safest choice.

Band width and comfort

A wide band feels tighter than a narrow one at the same size. Your design’s band width is shown before you approve; for a wide band, consider one size up.

Why we don’t measure from photos

A photo of a hand, a camera estimate or an on-screen ruler can’t measure a finger precisely, so we don’t offer them. Your ring size shapes the design itself: the band’s thickness and comfort are tailored to your exact size.

Sizes we make

We make EU sizes 44 to 70. If you need a size outside this range, contact us: we’ll review it instead of extrapolating.

Questions and answers

What’s the difference between ring size and diameter?

The EU size is the inner circumference in millimetres; the inner diameter is that number divided by π. Size 52, for example, is about 16.6 mm in diameter.

Can I change the size before ordering?

Yes. Before you approve, changing the size doesn’t use a refinement round; we adapt your design to the new size and check it again.

I’m between two sizes. Which should I choose?

Usually the larger one, especially for wide bands. A ring that’s slightly loose is more comfortable than one that won’t pass the knuckle.
