Ring size

In the United States and Canada, ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale, with quarter and half sizes. An increase of a full size is an increase of 0.032 inch (0.8128 mm) in diameter, or roughly 1/10 inch (more precisely, 0.1005 in or 2.55 mm) in inside circumference.
In Europe (excluding Ireland and the United Kingdom), ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale, with half sizes.
In Ireland, the United Kingdom and Australia, ring sizes are specified using an alphabetical scale, with half sizes.
In Japan, ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale that only has whole sizes.
In Switzerland, ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale, with quarter and half sizes.
In Germany, ring sizes are specified using actual internal diameter in mm. (the same as ISO)
The ISO standard for ring sizes is ISO 8653:1986, which defines standard ring sizes in terms of the inner circumference of the ring measured in millimetres.
