Jewellery - Ring-sizes - Definition, measurement and designation
ISO 8653:2016 specifies a method to measure the ring-size using a ring stick with defined characteristics, which is mainly used during manufacturing steps, and specifies the designation of the ring-size. NOTE For jeweller-consumer relationships, the finger size is measured with a finger gauge set made up of a ring for each size with the same diameter and tolerance than the ring stick ones.
Bijouterie, joaillerie — Taille de bagues — Définition, mesurage et désignation
ISO 8653:2016 spécifie une méthode de mesure de la taille des bagues à l'aide d'un triboulet de caractéristiques définies, qui est principalement utilisé pendant les étapes de fabrication, ainsi que la désignation des tailles de bagues. NOTE Lors de la relation bijoutier-consommateur, la taille du doigt est mesurée avec un baguier constitué d'une bague pour chaque taille ayant les mêmes diamètre et tolérances que ceux du triboulet.

Overview
ISO 8653:2016 - Jewellery - Ring-sizes - Definition, measurement and designation specifies a harmonized method to measure and designate ring sizes during manufacturing and quality control. The standard defines the ring-size (the circumference of the largest cylinder that can be inserted in the ring), the required ring stick characteristics used for measurement, and rules for labeling ring sizes (designation). It aims to reduce conflicts between manufacturers, brands and retailers by providing a single, repeatable measurement method.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Definition
- Ring-size = circumference of the bigger cylinder that could be inserted in the ring (expressed in millimetres).
- Apparatus (ring stick)
- Measurement scale length: 160.0 mm ± 0.5 mm.
- Material: metal or material with equivalent wear resistance.
- Minimum and maximum ring-sizes: 41 to 76.
- Specified diameters and tolerances for sample sizes (from Table 1):
- Size 41 → 13.05 mm ± 0.02 mm
- Size 51 → 16.23 mm ± 0.02 mm
- Size 61 → 19.42 mm ± 0.02 mm
- Size 71 → 22.60 mm ± 0.02 mm
- Size 76 → 24.19 mm ± 0.02 mm
- Ring sticks shall be regularly checked, for example with a finger gauge set matching the same diameters and tolerances.
- Measurement method
- Slide the ring down the ring stick without external force; the contact point on the stick determines the measured circumference.
- Two inside profiles:
- Rounded inside profile - measurement point at middle of ring thickness.
- Flat inside profile - measurement point at the bottom of ring thickness.
- Particular ring shapes
- Rules for signet rings/mountings (place flat part on stick), interlaced circles (read under bottom), and square rings (inscribe a circle so flats are not aligned with stick flats).
- Designation
- Designate as: Ring-size ISO 8653 - <inner circumference in mm (rounded)> (example: Ring-size ISO 8653 - 43). If size is marked on the ring, only the circumference may be shown (e.g., “43”).
Applications
- Standardizes ring-size measurement in manufacturing, inspection and QA processes.
- Useful for jewellery manufacturers, quality control labs, brand compliance teams, retailers and e-commerce product specification.
- Helps avoid disputes between suppliers and principals by providing a consistent acceptance criterion for ring dimensions and tolerances.
- Supports accurate customer-facing sizing tools when finger gauge sets are used for jeweller-consumer measurement.
Who should use it
- Jewellery manufacturers and production engineers
- Quality assurance and metrology personnel in jewellery supply chains
- Brand compliance and product specification teams
- Retailers and service labs performing size verification or resizing
Related standards
- Developed under ISO/TC 174 (Jewellery). For guidance on standards development and conformity terms see the ISO/IEC Directives and ISO documentation.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
