Hi everybody,

    I need a little help understanding the correct way to measure the
    size of a ring. Especially wide rings. 

    I have a ring stick. Do I just slide the ring onto the stick and
    take the measurement from the edge of the ring that is on the wider
    end of the stick? Or should I try to estimate where the middle part
    of a wide ring falls on the ring stick? 

    Also... I have two ring sticks. The first one I bought a few years
    ago was the cheap black plastic kind. Recently I saw one advertized
    on eBay that is an aluminum one. I thought this would really impress
    my customers. It is a beautiful thing to hold and look at with US
    sizes in red and European sizes in black. My concern though is that
    the dang thing is only 10 inches long including the handle. Is that
    too small to accurately measure a ring? 

    Sorry if this sounds like a basic question. I've searched the
    Ganoksin archives and can't find anything. Any help would be
    appreciated. 

Dan T.
