Ring Size Chart (US)
In the US, ring sizes are measured on a numerical scale (typically from size 3 to size 13). Men’s and women’s rings use the same scale. But average sizes differ. It is 6–7 for women and 9-10 for men.
Wider bands feel tighter. If you’re choosing a wider band or a comfort-fit style, you may need to go ½ size up. It provides you with the best feel.
