How do I convert Cartier ring sizes (49, 50, 52, 54, 56) to US sizes?
Cartier uses the French/ISO metric circumference system in millimetres. Cartier 49 ≈ US 5 (15.60 mm diameter), Cartier 50 ≈ US 5.25, Cartier 52 ≈ US 6 (16.55 mm), Cartier 54 ≈ US 6.75–7 (17.20 mm), and Cartier 56 ≈ US 7.5 (17.83 mm). For wide bands like the Cartier Love Ring (6.1 mm), Cartier recommends sizing up by 1 full metric size (+1 mm circumference).
Does Tiffany & Co. use standard US ring sizes?
Yes. Tiffany & Co. follows the standard US inside-diameter scale (US 3 = 14.1 mm, US 6 = 16.5 mm, US 7 = 17.3 mm, US 8 = 18.1 mm), with half-size and quarter-size precision available for engagement and wedding bands.
What is US ring size 7 in UK, EU, Japanese, and Indian sizes?
A US size 7 ring has an inside diameter of 17.35 mm and an inner circumference of 54.51 mm. That converts to UK / Australia size N½ (or O), EU / ISO size 54.5, Japan / China size 14, Swiss size 14.5, and Indian size 14.
How do I convert millimetres (diameter or circumference) to ring size?
If you measured your finger circumference with a paper strip (for example 54.4 mm), divide by π (3.14159) to get the inside diameter (17.32 mm). Our converter lets you drag the millimetre slider or type either EU circumference or diameter directly.
What should I do if my measurement falls between two ring sizes?
If your measurement sits halfway between two standard sizes, choose the larger size—or ask your jeweller for a quarter size (such as US 6.75). Narrow rings (<2.5 mm) fit slightly looser, while wide bands (6 mm+) fit tighter and always benefit from rounding up.
Why do Indian ring size charts vary slightly between jewellers?
Indian ring gauges originate from traditional wire mandrel numbering (1 to 36) where each step corresponds to roughly 0.32 mm of inside diameter. Because regional mandrels vary by ±0.15 mm, always verify the inside diameter in millimetres when ordering fine jewellery in India.
