[Jewelry making - Article 00645] - Re: [Orchid] Adjusting ring sizes for internet sales

    The problem with printing a set of circles for long-distance ring
    sizing is that, even if the customer cut out the circles accurately
    and slipped them over their finger, the sizing wouldn't take any
    account of the width of the ring. This can be an important
    consideration as it can affect the ease with which a ring slips over
    the knuckle and thus the size required. A more useful solution may
    be to print a flat, graduated strip which could be cut out and
    wrapped around the knuckle and maybe even stuck together to make a
    paper ring. One sheet could have a number of widths corresponding
    with different ring widths and a set of plain circles for the very
    thin rings. Ideally, the customer could be persuaded to print the
    strips out onto photographic paper, the stiffness of which would
    give a much more lifelike impression of putting the ring on and off. 

best wishes,
