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 |

In other words, calibrate the sizer. Sarit. http://sarit-jewelry.com |
