    Ring Blank Sizing Chart

    Uploaded by

    lucnes
    The document provides a ring sizing chart to help jewelers determine the correct length for ring blanks based on the inner diameter size and thickness of the metal being used. It explains that the finished ring size needs to account for compression that occurs when curving the ends of the blank together for soldering. The chart lists common inner diameters in inches and millimeters and provides the corresponding circumference as well as the blank lengths needed for a range of metal thicknesses between 10 and 20 gauge to result in proper fitting rings after fabrication.

    Ring Blank Sizing Chart

    Measuring for a Ring Blank


    To get a proper ring fit, you must compensate for the thickness of the ring band before you measure the blank. Curving the outside ends
    of the blank together for soldering compresses the inside circumference, making the ring smaller. The chart below includes the additional
    length necessary to allow for the compression, allowing your finished ring to reliable finish at the size you want. The formula used to
    calculate the correct blank length is shown below.

    [inner diameter + metal thickness] x 3.1416 (pi) = correct blank length


    (add an additional 0.5mm if over 4mm wide)
    Take the inner diameter, add the metal thickness and multiply by pi (3.14). This gives you the necessary length for your ring blank length.
    If the ring band is wider than 4mm, add an extra 0.5mm to ensure an excellent fit.
