Hi All:

    Thanks to all who sent me advice on ring shanks. I know I've
    confused a lot of folks, so here's my problem: 

    I want to make a ring with a cabachon stone. I know how to measure
    for the bezel and the back plate, but I can't figure out how to
    measure the ring shank (12mm double 1/2 round wire). Is there a
    gauge or measuring device that will help me calculate how much silver
    I need? 

Thanks,
Carolyn
