Measured my finger at 6.5cm circumference.

But even extra large is measuring at 2cm?? Am o reading this wrong?

Do they maybe mean diameter rather than circumference?

You are reading it correctly, but that size chart is nonsense! Even a pencil is about 30mm in circumference.

What does it say when you click on the conversion table?

XXL has a diameter of 20m and a circumference of 20 x 3.14 = 62.8mm.
The EU sizing is circumference.

Looks like you would need XXXL

Yeah duh they mean circumference - it’s just clicked. Thankfully I don’t have extra extra extra extra marge fingers 😂

I’ve just tried on an old ring and it has a circumference of 1.8cm and that felt a tiny bit loose.

Oh! That could be it - multiply by pi to get the circumference.

Or divide your circumference by pi, so you'd need 20.7mm diameter

This is probably a better tactic for getting a ring that fits.

Or pop into a jeweler and get measured.
