    Thanks to all who have replied. I will play around with your ideas
    and input, unfortunately, I am not convinced yet. The idea with using
    the inner area seems promising: Sqrt( (Diameter / 2) ^ 2 * pi) as
    inner side length, unfortunately, this does not fit my empirical
    results. Direct translations from diameter to sides fails because the
    diagonal is significantly longer, yielding a much looser ring. 

Again, thanks all !
Ted
