Hi Jeff,

The closest size to size N is just a little less than a 7. Size
7 is N+1/4…

I have a set of American ring guages because I have the opposite
problem. :slight_smile:

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Kerry

Let’s see, now…

diameter (mm) = n x 0.3937 + 11.6713
where n is the number (1 - 26) of the letter of the alphabet
So N = 17.18mm

I don’t know about rings sized 5, 6, 7, etc

Jeff, The number sizes are used to measure rings. They usually
come as a collection of hole sizes to fit over the finger and a
template to size the rings over. The sizes you asked about are:
N=17mm Richard W UK
