Understanding British ring sizes

Modern Designer Ring

The British ring size system differs from those used in the US and Asia in that the sizes go from A-Z rather than being numeric values. The system also uses a number of 'oversizes' denoted as Z+1, Z+2 etc and half sizes A½, B½ etc. The system dates from early Victorian times when jewellers started producing stock sized rings.

The last British standard BS6820, issued in 1987, defines the ring sizes by inner circumference in mm. Each full size change being an increase of 1.25 mm in inner circumference, thus each half size is an increase of 0.625mm in inner circumference. Technically BS6820 has been superseded by BS28653 defining ring size by inner circumference but British ring sizes A-Z are still in general use.
