How to Know Your True Ring Size — According to Jewelry Experts

Although men typically fall into size 8-10 and women 4-7, ring sizes are based on the same numerical scale for men and women. "A size 8 ring is a size 8 ring no matter where you go," Overton said. The only thing to pay attention to when shopping for a man is the band width. "Men's bands are usually thicker, so [it's] important to remember that if the ring you are choosing is above 4 mm wide, you may need to size up a quarter to half a size," said Kristen Lawler-Trustey, PR manager at Forevermark.
