thread_title:  Korea Ring Size - does anybody know if it follows Japan ring size? 

message: It was my belief that Swiss sizes are European sizes minus 40. For example a EU Size 54 is equivalent to CH size 14. EU sizes are based on the inner circumference. So EU size 54 has an inner circumference of 54mm. Therefore CH size 14 == 54mm. Looking at the conversion chart on this page, that isn't even close.

thread_title:  The conversion chart doesn't look right to me 

message: When I was last at my local jeweler, he refered to the U.S. size 5 3/4 as a 5 1/2 "true" or a 5 1/2 "real" (I can't remember which).  It seemed like
5    	"five"
5 1/4	"five true"
5 1/2	"five and one half"
5 3/4	"five and one half true"
6    	"six"
6 1/4	"six true"
...  	...
Can anyone verify if this is standard nomenclature?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.21.92.99 (talk) 16:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quarter Sizes (U.S.) 

message: The following reference
http://www.24carat.co.uk/ringsizes.html
contains some differences from the wikipedia article.  (For example, the wikipedia article lists Japanese size 11 as a U.S. size 6, but said reference lists the two sizes seperately.)  Can someone resolve these differences?
Also, the above reference should perhaps be added to the article's reference section.  It contains (at the bottom of the page) some of the formaulae used in creating the chart.  Also, the SI circumference has an extra decimal place listed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.21.92.99 (talk) 17:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Where is UK size I 1/2 ? 

message: This article says that in Germany rings are sizes according to internal DIAMETER (which may be true,I wouldn't know)  which it says this is the "same as ISO".  But then it says the ISO standard is to use the internal CIRCUMFERENCE.  These can not both be right.

thread_title:  Something Wrong here 

message: This article is useful and interesting but much more of a 'how to' tone than is normal on Wikipedia or in any encyclopedia. (I'm sure there's a cute abbreviation for this). It seems like it belongs on "About.com" or something. 
Also, it's very authoritative-sounding, but (1) no sources and (2) I'm not sure all the advice is strictly necessary.... I have bought rings using the paper strip method that the article decries, and have had no problem (and I have small knuckles). 
Altogether needs a tone rewrite, is my conclusion.

thread_title:  Tone not encyclopedic 

message: This article needs stats about what proportion of the population has each ring size (in a few different populations)...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.115.7 (talk) 18:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Population stats 

message: I live in France and see rings selling at sizes 16-22 for men.  This surely doesn't match what is stated for France.  It may be that the rings are being sold in mm diameter or Japanese sizes.  Wiredrabbit (talk) 19:22, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy? 

message: What about ring resizing? I don't see anything about that either here or at ring (jewellery) or wedding band (or in a keyword search, for that matter). In particular, how is a (finger) ring typically increased or decreased in size? - dcljr (talk) 00:36, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Resizing 

message: The on-line sizing chart that "works with any screen resolution" definitely does NOT work with the Retina Display. It's off by about 50% at my ring gauge.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.191.31 (talk) 20:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Bad Reference Link

message: What are Hong Kong ring sizes? I've looked around online and different sites have different conversions, and it doesn't seem to be linear, making it very difficult to reliably convert to another system if all you have is the Hong Kong ring size number. If "Hong Kong" sizing is not standardised and thus cannot be listed in the table, can we add some text to the article describing this fact and why it is the case?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agxpower (talk • contribs) 02:58, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
