Getting the wrong ring size is one of the most common jewellery mistakes — and one of the most frustrating. A ring that's too tight becomes uncomfortable; one that's too loose risks slipping off. This guide walks you through every method to find your correct ring size in India, including a full Indian-to-international size conversion chart.
Why Ring Sizing Is Different in India
India uses a numerical ring sizing system (Indian sizes typically range from 1 to 30+) that differs from the US (numbered 4–13), UK (lettered A–Z), and EU (numbered 44–75). Most international jewellery brands give you a US or UK size — this guide helps you convert accurately.
Method 1: The String Method (Most Accurate)
- Cut a thin strip of paper or thread about 10cm long.
- Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger you want to measure.
- Mark where the paper overlaps with a pen.
- Measure the length in millimetres — this is your finger circumference.
- Use the chart below to find your ring size.
Pro tip: Measure your finger in the evening — fingers swell slightly during the day. Also measure the specific finger you plan to wear the ring on, as each finger has a different size.
Method 2: Measure an Existing Ring
If you already own a ring that fits well, place it on a ruler and measure the inner diameter in millimetres. Use the diameter column in the chart below to find your size.

Tips for Buying Rings Online in India
- Check if the ring is adjustable — many open-band rings and toe rings are adjustable, making sizing less critical.
- When between sizes, go larger — a slightly loose ring can be adjusted; a tight ring cannot be worn comfortably.
- Consider the band width — wider bands fit tighter. If buying a wide band, go half a size up.
- Check the return and exchange policy — at Carryallco, we offer easy exchanges if your ring doesn't fit.
