Overview

SIST EN 28653:1998 is a European standard that aligns with the international ISO 8653:1986, focusing on jewellery ring-sizes. It establishes a uniform method for the definition, measurement, and designation of ring sizes based on the inner circumference of rings expressed in millimeters. This standard is essential for jewelers, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers, ensuring consistency and accuracy in determining ring sizes worldwide.

Key Topics

• Ring-Size Definition
  Ring-size is defined as the inner circumference of the ring, measured in millimeters. This precise definition standardizes how sizes should be interpreted and communicated across the jewellery industry.

• Measurement Method
  The inner circumference must be measured using a tapered ring-gauge (ring-stick), characterized by:

  • Measurement scale length of 160 ± 0.5 mm
  • Minimum ring-size of 41 mm
  • Maximum ring-size of 76 mm
  • Made of metal or a material with equivalent wear resistance for durability and accuracy

• Size Designation
  Sizes are marked by the number of the standard followed by the ring’s inner circumference rounded to the nearest millimeter.
  Example: Ring-size ISO 8653 - 43 refers to a ring with a 43 mm inner circumference.

• Scope and Purpose
  Applicable to the jewellery industry, this standard ensures all stakeholders use a consistent terminology and method, promoting clear communication and reliable sizing for customers.

Applications

• Jewellery Manufacturing
  Enables manufacturers to produce rings with precisely measured sizes, reducing errors and returns due to incorrect sizing.

• Retail and E-commerce
  Assists retailers to provide accurate size information online and in stores, improving customer satisfaction and decreasing sizing issues.

• Quality Control
  Standardizes quality checks by using the same measurement technique to verify ring sizes throughout production and distribution.

• Custom Jewellery Design
  Helps designers specify sizes exactly, enhancing fit and comfort for clients.

• Global Trade Compliance
  Supports international trade of jewellery by harmonizing ring-size communication across borders.

Related Standards

• ISO 8653:1986
  The original international standard that defines ring-size measurement and designation, which SIST EN 28653:1998 adopts identically.

• EN Standards on Jewellery
  Other EN standards cover materials, manufacturing processes, and testing methods for jewellery, complementing the sizing standards.

• International Measurement Standards
  Aligns with broader metrology standards to ensure measurement accuracy and repeatability.
