Most jewellers in Pakistan size rings with numbers from about 8 to 30, the same scale used in India and Japan, while online shops such as Daraz and international brands usually list US sizes. A Pakistani size 14 is about US 7 (17.3 mm), and size 19 is about US 9. Use the chart below to convert, or measure a ring on your phone with the online ring sizer.

The local number scale starts at 1 for a 13 mm inner diameter and rises by one number for every third of a millimetre, so the numbers are finer than US half sizes. Some numbers (11, 17, 22) fall between two US half sizes; in that case pick the US size whose diameter is closest to your ring.
How ring sizes are used in Pakistan
- Local jewellers (sunar) in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and other cities mostly use a metal ring sizer stick (ungli ka naap) marked with numbers on the Indian/Japanese scale. Some older shops use their own sticks, which can differ by one number, so always confirm with a diameter in mm.
- Daraz and most online stores list US sizes (6, 7, 8…) and sometimes “free size” adjustable rings.
- Imported brands and UK-based sellers use UK letters (L, N, P…).
- Gold rings bought in the Gulf (Dubai, Saudi Arabia) are usually sized in EU numbers or US sizes.
Typical ring sizes in Pakistan
For women, local sizes 12–15 (US 6–7.5) are the most common for the ring finger. Men usually wear 19–23 (US 9–10.5). Engagement rings for brides are often bought a size smaller than everyday rings because hands swell on a hot wedding day and shrink again afterwards; jewellers generally advise buying the exact size and resizing later if needed. These are averages only: measure the actual finger.
How to find your ring size at home
- On your phone: open the ring sizer, calibrate with any bank card or CNIC (both are 85.6 mm wide), place a ring that fits on the screen and read the local number, US, UK and mm.
- With a thread: wrap a thread around the base of the finger, mark it, measure the length in mm and find it in the circumference column.
- With a ruler: measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits and match it in the diameter column.
For every size in mm, see ring size in mm. For all international systems, see the full ring size chart.
