Have you ever had trouble choosing the right ring size? Don’t worry! It’s easier than you think.
Ring sizing can be the secret to both comfort and elegance, because there’s nothing better than a ring that fits your finger perfectly and completes your look with style.
In this article from Fakhr Oman, we provide you with a simple and easy guide to determine your size at home with practical and precise steps for both men and women, along with smart tips to avoid the common mistakes most people make.
What is the unit of ring measurement?
Ring size usually depends on the circumference of the finger or the inner diameter of the ring and is expressed in standard units such as European or American sizes.
It is typically measured in millimeters (mm), e.g., inner diameter 18 mm or inner circumference 56 mm, and then converted to the appropriate size according to the international chart.
Most common ring measurement units in Oman
In Oman, multiple measurement units are used to meet global standards, especially when buying from online stores like Fakhr Oman:
-
US Size (American): The most common in Omani markets, usually ranging from size 4 to 13 for men and women.
-
EU Size (European): Based on finger circumference in millimeters (approximately 44 to 70).
-
UK Size (British): Expressed in letters such as J – P – T.
-
Centimeters (cm): The easiest for home use with a measuring tape or string.
Tip from Fakhr Oman: Always use the conversion chart on the Fakhr Oman website before purchasing to ensure the size you choose is the most suitable for you.

What to Consider When Choosing an International Ring Size Chart for Men

-
Check the measurement system: Some charts use US, European, or Japanese sizes, so know which system suits you or the store you’re buying from.
-
Accurate measurement: Ensure your finger size is measured precisely using a sizing tool.
-
Match finger diameter in millimeters: The best way to avoid mistakes is to measure the finger’s diameter in millimeters and match it with the international chart.
-
Ring style: Some designs, like wide rings, may require a slightly larger size than narrow rings. Consider the style you want.
-
Seasonal precautions: Finger size can change slightly with heat or cold, so measure at a moderate temperature.
When Is Measuring Your Ring with a Smartphone Reliable?
Smartphone measurement can be reliable if:
-
Using an official, trustworthy app with clear instructions and good ratings.
-
Ensuring the phone is parallel to the ring or finger, without any angle.
-
Measuring in good lighting with a clean screen to see edges clearly.
-
Following the app’s instructions for the proper distance between phone and finger/ring.
-
Using a ring sizer or measuring tape as a reference to verify results.
What to Do If Your Ring Size Differs Between a Chart and a Ring Measuring App
If your ring size differs:
-
Re-measure your finger at different times of the day since size may vary with temperature.
-
Check the measurement units: Sometimes the difference is due to US vs. European or Japanese charts.
-
Consult a trusted store like Fakhr Oman.
Following these steps ensures you get the correct size.
How to Measure Your Ring Size Using a Smartphone
-
Ring sizing app: Free apps on Android and iOS can help measure ring size.
-
Place an existing ring on a flat surface and follow the app instructions to fit it within the circle on the screen to get an approximate size.
-
Manual measurement with paper and smartphone: Wrap a paper strip or string around your finger, note the circumference in cm or mm, and use a reference image or video to match it with a size chart.
How to Standardize Local Ring Sizes with Japanese Sizes
-
Know your local size accurately: Usually measured by finger circumference or ring diameter, while Japanese sizes use a numeric system.
-
Use an official conversion chart: Accurate charts show the equivalent Japanese size for each local size.
-
Verify the diameter in mm: Measure the ring’s internal diameter and match it with the chart.
-
Try the ring if possible: If purchasing in-store, trying it ensures the correct size after conversion.
This ensures local sizes accurately match Japanese sizes, avoiding errors when buying.
