Finding your correct ring size is simple: measure around your finger with a piece of string or a paper strip, then compare the number to the US or Indian sizing chart. In this guide, we walk you through the difference between the two systems and how to measure at home step by step before you order your ring online.
Why does ring size matter when shopping online?
A ring that doesn't fit properly is either too tight to wear comfortably or too loose and slips off easily. Since online shopping doesn't let you try a piece before buying, knowing your exact ring size saves you the hassle of exchanges and makes sure the piece fits you right from the first try. Whether you choose a 925 sterling silver oval ring set with zircon stones or any other design, the first step is always knowing your size.
How to measure your ring size at home
There are two simple methods you can use without any special tools:
Method one: string or paper strip
- Wrap a thin string or paper strip around the base of the finger you want to measure.
- Mark the point where the two ends meet.
- Measure the length of the string with a ruler in centimeters or millimeters — this number is your finger's circumference.
- Compare the number to the sizing chart to find the matching US or Indian size.
Method two: measure a ring you already own
- Pick a ring that fits the same finger well.
- Measure the ring's inner diameter in millimeters using a precise ruler.
- Match the number to a conversion chart based on inner diameter.
It's best to repeat the measurement more than once, at different times of day, since finger size can shift slightly between morning and evening.
What's the difference between US and Indian ring sizes?
US sizes are usually written as a simple number like 5, 6, or 7, while Indian sizes use larger numbers, roughly like 10, 12, or 14. The main difference is the numbering system each country uses, but both are based on the same finger circumference or diameter. Here's an approximate comparison chart for the common systems:
- US size 5 is approximately Indian size 10
- US size 6 is approximately Indian size 12
- US size 7 is approximately Indian size 14 to 15
- US size 8 is approximately Indian size 17
- US size 9 is approximately Indian size 19
These numbers are approximate and can vary slightly between manufacturers, so measuring directly with a string or an existing ring remains the most accurate way to determine your ring size before ordering.
How to choose your ring from Silveraty once you know your size
Once you've determined your ring size, you can browse Silveraty's designs made of 925 sterling silver, rhodium plated. For example, a 925 sterling silver ring with a three-row interlocking design, rhodium and gold plated, suits everyday looks, while a 925 sterling silver ring with a wavy pattern, rhodium and gold plated, is a simple, elegant option. Every piece arrives in an elegant box with a gift pouch, and you can enjoy free shipping on orders over 300, with installment payment options through Tabby and Tamara.
The sparkling stones in some designs, like the 925 sterling silver oval ring set with zircon, are zircon stones that give a diamond-like sparkle, not genuine gemstones. We always recommend checking the product description and confirming the available ring size details before placing your order.
Frequently asked questions about ring size
How can I find my size without measuring tools?
You can use a thin string or paper strip, wrap it around the base of your finger, then measure its length with a regular ruler and compare it to the sizing chart.
Does ring size change between fingers?
Yes, each finger has a different size, so it's best to measure the specific finger you'll wear the ring on, not any other finger.
Do US and Indian sizes give the same actual measurement?
Yes, in terms of the actual finger circumference, but the way the number is written differs between the two systems, so it's best to use a conversion chart or direct measurement to avoid confusion.

Our guarantee covers the piece arriving intact and matching the product page, and you should notify the store within 48 hours of receiving it if you have any concerns.
