Hi all
I'm making some rings for a couple in Kenya - they have had their fingers measured at a local jewellers and have come back with a size 25 or V 1/2 and a 12 or L. The first size is an unknown scale, the second is supposed to be the UK size. She found the 12 a bit tight so wants a 12.5.
Problem is that I can't find a ring chart that exactly corresponds to these sizes. According to Wikipedia a V 1/2 is a size 25 on India's ring sizing scale, but a 12 is an L 1/2. The Swiss scale is probably the next closest with a V 1/2 being 24.75 and a L being 11.25.
What sizes do you think I should make these rings?! I think V 1/2 for the larger ring is ok, but I'm unsure for the smaller ring. By either the Swiss or Indian scales I think that a 12.5 is an M?
I'm only going with Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_size) as when I google ring sizing charts they're all ever so slightly different so it's impossible to know which is correct! Is this the best chart to use?
Additional question: is it best to measure to the centre of a ring or the leading edge? In this case the bigger ring is 10mm wide so it could make quite a difference. Is there an 'industry standard'?
Cheers
Victoria
