Kalyan Jewellers ring size chart
Kalyan quotes the Indian numeric scale. The table below gives each size as an inside diameter in millimetres, with the US number, the UK letter and the EU circumference alongside, so any size you already know converts across.

Kalyan Jewellers sizes in millimetres
Kalyan Jewellers quotes the indian numeric scale. A number from 1 to about 30. Indian jewellers frequently print the UK letter beside it, because both are in daily use.

Derived from ISO 8653, the standard the whole trade sizes against, and labelled with the scale Kalyan Jewellers prints. It is a conversion table, not a copy of the brand's own list — confirm the exact range against the retailer before ordering, since any house can change what it stocks.
Gold rings are worth measuring twice
A gold ring bought by weight is an expensive thing to resize, and resizing changes the weight. Measure before ordering rather than after: the inside diameter of a ring that already fits is the most reliable input, and a caliper or a calibrated screen will read it to a tenth of a millimetre.
Store sizing on a mandrel is still the reference. Use a home measurement to arrive knowing roughly what you need, and to sanity-check the number you are given.
Wide and stone-set bands
Traditional wide gold bands need the width allowance: half a size from about 5 mm of width, a full size from about 9 mm. Our band width guide explains why. Stone-set bands often cannot be resized cleanly at all, so the first size has to be the right one.
Before you order
What moves the size on a Kalyan Jewellers ring
- Resizing gold changes its weight
- Metal is removed or added at the join. On a ring priced by weight that is a real cost — size it right the first time.
- Wide bands need the allowance
- Add half a size from about 5 mm of band width, and a full size from about 9 mm.
- The number is a label, the millimetre is the fact
- Indian conversion tables differ by roughly one step between publishers. Check the diameter column.
Ordering from elsewhere
Your size in the market you are buying from
The indian numeric scale is read in India. Pick where you are ordering from and the switcher gives the local number for the same finger — or the millimetre, where local practice is too mixed to convert into.
Do not know it? Measure a ring on your calibrated screen — it is the only number here that is not a conversion of another number.
Indian numeric
14
A number from 1 to about 30. Indian jewellers frequently print the UK letter beside it, because both are in daily use.
India. Indian jewellers quote a numeric scale of their own, roughly 1 to 30. Tanishq, Malabar Gold, Kalyan and GIVA all use it, and many print the UK letter beside it. Online-first brands often list US sizes as well, so check which scale a listing means before ordering. Full India ring size chart.
United States. The US numeric scale, sold mostly in half sizes. Quarter sizes exist and a jeweller can cut them, but they are rarely stocked. Full USA ring size chart.
United Kingdom. Letters, in half-letter steps. British hallmarked rings are usually stamped with the letter, so an inherited ring often tells you its own size if you look inside the band. Full UK ring size chart.
Europe. France, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia quote the ISO 8653 number, which is the inside circumference in millimetres. Italy, Spain and Switzerland quote the same measurement minus 40, so a 54 becomes a 14. Full Europe ring size chart.
Japan. The Japanese numeric scale runs #1 to about #27 for the sizes people actually order. Mikimoto, Tasaki and 4°C all use it. Japanese sizes are usually whole numbers only. Full Japan ring size chart.
China. Mainland Chinese listings usually give 圈号 — the inside circumference in millimetres, the same number as EU/ISO. Hong Kong uses a separate numbered scale, and marketplace listings mix both with US sizes. Order by inside diameter in millimetres when a listing does not say which scale it means.
Australia. Australia and New Zealand use the UK letter scale unchanged, so a UK N is an Australian N.
Canada. Identical to the United States. A US 7 is a Canadian 7, with no conversion in between.
Singapore. Singapore retail is mixed: international brands quote US numbers, goldsmiths in the Chinese tradition quote Hong Kong numbers, and British-founded chains quote letters. Ask for the inside diameter in millimetres and you sidestep the whole problem.
Malaysia. As in Singapore, US numbers dominate modern retail while traditional goldsmiths use Hong Kong numbers. Confirm the scale, or the diameter, before you order.
United Arab Emirates. Gulf retail quotes US sizes most often. British-founded chains use letters, and the many Indian gold houses in Dubai use the Indian scale, so the same finger can be quoted three ways along one street.
South Africa. South Africa follows the UK letter scale. Online stores that ship from the United States will quote numbers instead.
Brazil. Brazilian sizes are the inside circumference in millimetres minus 40 — the same arithmetic Switzerland uses. A 54 mm circumference is a Brazilian 14.
Mexico. Mexican jewellers use a local numeric scale that is not the US one, and the published conversions for it disagree with each other. We will not print a number we cannot stand behind, so order by inside diameter in millimetres, or ask the retailer for the diameter of the size they are offering. Large chains and online stores generally quote US sizes.
Questions
Kalyan Jewellers sizing, answered
What ring size scale does Kalyan use?
The Indian numeric scale, running from about 1 to 30. Many Indian catalogues print the UK letter beside it as well.
What is Indian size 16 in US?
Roughly a US 7¾ to 8 — an inside diameter near 17.9 mm. Read the table above for the exact row.
Does Kalyan resize rings?
Plain gold bands can usually be adjusted; stone-set and intricately worked bands often cannot without visible repair. Confirm the policy for the specific piece at purchase.
Should I measure my finger or my ring?
Your ring, when you have one that fits. A ring has one fixed inside diameter; a finger changes width through the day and has to clear a knuckle.
Measure once, order in any scale
The sizer calibrates your screen against a bank card first, so the circle you match your ring to is a real millimetre wide.
