What size is a 54 mm ring?
A 54 mm inside circumference is a US 7, a UK N½ and an EU 54 — the EU size and the circumference are the same number by definition. Its inside diameter is 17.3 mm.

Your size
Every ring size in the world is a label attached to one of two physical measurements: the inside diameter of the band, or the inside circumference. Those two millimetre figures never change. Only the names do.
That is what makes this chart work in every direction. Find any value you already know — a US number, a UK letter, an EU size, or a measurement you took yourself — and read across the row.

If you would rather enter a measurement than scan a table, the calculator does the same lookup and flags readings that fall between two sizes.
Some circumferences fall on a half millimetre — US 9 is 59.5 mm, for instance. Retailers genuinely stock either 59 or 60 in those cases, so both are listed. When you have the choice, go by the millimetre figure rather than the label.

Ring sizes are not gendered — the scale measures a finger, not a person. But most women's rings are ordered within this band, so it is a useful slice of the chart to work from. More on typical women's sizes.

The same scale, a different part of it. Note that men's bands are often wider, which changes the size you need independently of your finger measurement, and thumb rings sit higher again. More on men's sizing and band width.

If your figure falls between rows, these relationships let you work it out directly.
Circumference = diameter × 3.1416
Diameter = circumference ÷ 3.1416
EU / ISO size = inside circumference in mm
Each full US size is about 2.5 mm of circumference; each half size about 1.25 mm. Each UK letter step is also about 1.25 mm, which is why one US size covers roughly two UK letters.
Common questions about reading and using this chart are answered in the sizing FAQ.
This page is set up to print cleanly — navigation and footer links are stripped, and the table prints in full rather than scrolling. Use your browser's print function.
This chart is a conversion table, not a printable ring sizer, so print scaling does not affect the numbers. But if you use any printed sheet with circles to measure a ring against, check the scale first: print at 100% with page scaling off, and verify against a bank card, which is 85.60 mm wide under ISO/IEC 7810. Since a full US size is about 2.5 mm out of roughly 54 mm, a 4% print error is about a whole size.
The millimetre figures are consistent and checked, but the size labels attached to them are convention rather than enforced standard. Published charts vary between manufacturers by up to roughly a quarter of a size. When precision matters, quote the inside circumference in millimetres and use the retailer's own chart rather than a general one.
A 54 mm inside circumference is a US 7, a UK N½ and an EU 54 — the EU size and the circumference are the same number by definition. Its inside diameter is 17.3 mm.
17.3 mm is a US 7. A reading of exactly 17 mm falls just below that, between US 6.5 (16.9 mm) and US 7, so it is close to a US 6.75. Given that half a size is only about 0.4 mm of diameter, take a second reading before deciding.
One full US size is about 2.5 mm of inside circumference, or about 0.8 mm of diameter. A half size is about 1.25 mm of circumference and 0.4 mm of diameter. One UK letter step is about 1.25 mm, so roughly half a US size.
ISO 8653 defines size as the inside circumference in millimetres, and most of continental Europe follows it. The US and UK systems predate it and remain in general use, so in practice you are converting between conventions rather than reading one standard. Published charts also differ slightly between manufacturers.
Slightly, yes. There is no enforced global standard, and published charts vary between brands by up to roughly a quarter of a size. For most purchases that is immaterial; for an expensive or hard-to-resize ring, confirm against the specific retailer's own chart.
