[edit] Korea Ring Size - does anybody know if it follows Japan ring size?

[edit] The conversion chart doesn't look right to me
It was my belief that Swiss sizes are European sizes minus 40. For example a EU Size 54 is equivalent to CH size 14. EU sizes are based on the inner circumference. So EU size 54 has an inner circumference of 54mm. Therefore CH size 14 == 54mm. Looking at the conversion chart on this page, that isn't even close.

[edit] Quarter Sizes (U.S.)
When I was last at my local jeweler, he refered to the U.S. size 5 3/4 as a 5 1/2 "true" or a 5 1/2 "real" (I can't remember which). It seemed like
| 5 | "five" |
| 5 1/4 | "five true" |
| 5 1/2 | "five and one half" |
| 5 3/4 | "five and one half true" |
| 6 | "six" |
| 6 1/4 | "six true" |
| ... | ... |
Can anyone verify if this is standard nomenclature? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.21.92.99 (talk) 16:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] references conflict
The following reference http://www.24carat.co.uk/ringsizes.html contains some differences from the wikipedia article. (For example, the wikipedia article lists Japanese size 11 as a U.S. size 6, but said reference lists the two sizes seperately.) Can someone resolve these differences?
Also, the above reference should perhaps be added to the article's reference section. It contains (at the bottom of the page) some of the formaulae used in creating the chart. Also, the SI circumference has an extra decimal place listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.21.92.99 (talk) 17:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Where is UK size I 1/2 ?
I suspect all the UK sizes up to size I are half a size out!

[edit] Something Wrong here
This article says that in Germany rings are sizes according to internal DIAMETER (which may be true,I wouldn't know) which it says this is the "same as ISO". But then it says the ISO standard is to use the internal CIRCUMFERENCE. These can not both be right. Wreader (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
