Pandora ring size chart
A Pandora size is not a code — it is the measurement. Size 54 means an inside circumference of 54 mm, which is a US 7 and a UK N. That makes Pandora one of the easiest ranges to size for, because the number on the box is a millimetre reading you can check yourself.
The table
Pandora sizes in millimetres
Pandora quotes the eu / iso 8653 scale. The size is the inside circumference in whole millimetres, which is why the numbers run from the forties to the seventies.
| Pandora size | Ø mm | Circ. mm | US / CA | UK / AU | India | Japan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 14.1 | 44.2 | 3 | F | 4 | #4 |
| 48 | 15.3 | 48.0 | 4½ | I | 8 | #8 |
| 52 | 16.5 | 51.9 | 6 | L | 12 | #11 |
| 54 | 17.3 | 54.4 | 7 | N | 14 | #14 |
| 56 | 17.7 | 55.7 | 7½ | O | 15 | #15 |
| 58 | 18.5 | 58.2 | 8½ | Q | 18 | #17 |
| 60 | 18.9 | 59.5 | 9 | R | 19 | #18 |
| 62 | 19.8 | 62.1 | 10 | T | 22 | #21 |
Derived from ISO 8653, the standard the whole trade sizes against, and labelled with the scale Pandora 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.
Why Pandora sizes are numbers in the fifties
Pandora is Danish and uses the European convention set out in ISO 8653: the size is the inside circumference in whole millimetres. Sizes run in even steps — 44, 46, 48 and so on to 62 — so each step is 2 mm of circumference, a little under a full US size.
Because the number is a physical measurement, you can verify it without a chart. Wrap a paper strip round the base of the finger, mark the overlap, measure to the mark in millimetres: that reading, rounded to the nearest even number, is your Pandora size.
Rings, not charms
The even 2 mm steps make the between-sizes decision more common here than on a half-size scale. Round up: a millimetre of slack can be lived with, a millimetre short cannot pass the knuckle.
Stacking rings changes the calculation. Two or three thin bands worn together behave like one wide band, so add half a size to the stack if you plan to wear them permanently. The calibrated ring sizer gives you the inside diameter in millimetres, which is the one number that means the same thing in every catalogue.
Before you order
What moves the size on a Pandora ring
- The steps are 2 mm, not half sizes
- Two millimetres of circumference is about 0.78 of a US size, so the gap between Pandora sizes is wider than the gap between US half sizes. Expect to round.
- Circumference, not diameter
- Size 54 is 54 mm around the inside, and about 17.2 mm across it. Confusing the two puts you three sizes out.
- Stacking rings run tighter
- Several thin bands worn together press like one wide band. Add half a size — one Pandora step up — if the stack is permanent.
Ordering from elsewhere
Your size in the market you are buying from
The eu / iso 8653 scale is read in Europe, China. 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
Pandora sizing, answered
What does Pandora size 54 mean?
An inside circumference of 54 mm, which is an inside diameter of about 17.2 mm — a US 7 and a UK N.
What is Pandora size 52 in US?
A US 6, roughly. 52 mm of inside circumference is 16.6 mm across, which sits between US 6 and US 6¼.
How do I measure my Pandora ring size at home?
Measure the inside circumference in millimetres — with a paper strip round the finger, or by measuring a ring you already own and multiplying its inside diameter by π. Round to the nearest even number. The printable ring sizer does it without any arithmetic.
Do Pandora rings come in odd sizes?
The main range is even numbers only, in 2 mm steps from 44 to about 62. If you fall on an odd number, take the size above.
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.
