Default Indian ring sizer mystery.

Hi, I recently bought a set of ring sizers made in India. Most of the
sizers I've seen will say 7 for 7 and 7- for 7 1/2, but this set
mysteriously has three rings per size, marked 7, 7-, and 7= (what the
heck is that, and does that make 7- something besides 7 1/2?). If
anyone can solve this riddle for me, please e (I'm not a regular
here). TIA, Kurt

I'd take a caliper, measure the diameter of the marks and compare it
with ring size tables. In other words, calibrate the sizer.

Hey Kurt,

7 is 7
7- is 7 1/2 and
7= is 7 3/4
The other numbers 54, 55, 56 are European sizes, the numbers 17.2, 17.5,
17.8 are MM.And finally, the numbers 14, 15, 16 are Indian measurements.

Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Ravi K.
