Each country has a different size system gauge

For example: Size ‘ N’ equals  ‘54’ equals  ‘6.75’ depending  on which system your jeweler uses. But a good jeweler can easily convert a size you give them to the one they are familiar with.

The other option to visit a jewellery chain store when passing one day and ask the girls behind the counter to measure your finger for your ring size… they wouldn’t mind helping you size your finger.

Now your finger will be slightly bigger in the afternoon compared to morning, the ring should fit tightly over knuckle to sit snug  in place.
