Checking it yourself
Measure straight across the inside of a ring that already fits. About 21.89 mm means UK Y½. Or wrap paper around the finger and measure the length — about 68.77 mm is the same size.
The UK, Ireland and Australia share this letter system, sometimes called the Wheat Sheaf scale. The US uses numbers, and Europe uses the circumference in millimetres directly, which is why the European size and the circumference above are the same figure.
