Mens Ring Size Chart

Book Your Private Consultation ➝

While men and women use the same ring size scale, men’s ring sizes are much different, typically ranging from a US size 8-14. A correctly fitting ring feels snug without slipping, but won’t get stuck on your finger. The best way to ensure your ring fits properly is by visiting a professional jeweler, like David Alan.

How To Measure A Man’s Ring Size?

In the United States, men’s ring sizes generally fall between 8-14 which have a mathematical equivalent in millimeters.

Ring sizes reflect your finger’s diameter in millimeters, which is an important factor to keep in mind when you or your loved one can’t try on the ring in person. The best way to determine your correct ring size is through a professional consultation with a master jeweler like David Alan.

The most important  thing you should consider when accurately sizing your ring is how a correct fit should feel. The correct ring size should struggle slightly to go over the knuckle, yet feel comfortable once it lands at the base of your finger. You may feel some resistance when pulling it off your finger; which is normal and ideal to get the precise fit.

Tips To Getting The Perfect Sized Ring

  • Be aware of your knuckle size. If you have large knuckles and slender fingers, you’ll have to consider how easy it is to slide your new ring over your knuckles. If your knuckles are larger in diameter than the rest of your fingers, you may have to size up. 
  • Use the string method. Trying to determine your ring size from home? Tying a string around your finger and measuring the length of your loop in millimeters. Then, use a ring size chart to determine your ring size. For example, if your loop is about 18 millimeters long, your size is likely a 8. 
  • Use a printable ring size chart. This method works best if you’re buying a new ring for a loved one, and it’s a surprise. If you have access to your loved one’s favorite ring, match that ring to one on the chart to determine the correct ring size.
