I'm very frustrated as I have made a ring that should be a P but has turned out as an L! The sterling silver D wire I'm using is 8.00mm x 2.00mm. I've taken the measurement for P of 56.02mm and then added the thickness of 2.00mm to make 58.02mm.
I've now made the ring using those measurements and it's turned out a size L! Hmmm!
I know that I can hammer it on a mandrel to take it up a fraction, but any suggestions as to why it's turned out the wrong size, and what measurement should it be, so I can buy some more wire and start again?
Many thanks!
