    Hi Karen I think the answer to your two questions is "yes". :-)  The
    outside stretches and the inside compresses. I teach my students to
    measure the inner circumference (or calculate it from the inner
    diameter) and add two times the thickness of the material (in case of
    very heavy rings 3 times the material thickness). This method comes
    very close to a tight fit. And BTW life is much easier here in the
    metric part of the world. The ring size is the same as the innder
    circumrerence in millimetres and thicknesses are also measured in mm,
    so convert to metric <big grin> Niels Bornholm, Denmark
