Some jewelry may use the significantly different Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) scale instead, particularly jewelry from Canada or the United Kingdom where the SWG scale is used. [2] Both AWG and SWG express sizes as a gauge, but the numbers are different. For example, AWG 12g is 2.1 mm, but SWG 12g is 2.6 mm. AWG 8g happens to be the same as SWG 10g.

Originally in 1945, the divisions were based on the ring inside diameter in steps of 1 ⁄ 64 inch (0.40 mm). [6] However, in 1987 BSI updated the standard to the metric system so that one alphabetical size division equals 1.25 mm of circumferential length. For a baseline, ring size C has a circumference of 40 mm. [7]
Rhinestones are sized by using the term "ss," or stone size, following a number to indicate size (e.g. 8ss is equivalent to 2.3 mm diameter, 10ss is 2.8 mm). [3] Many of the commonly used rhinestone sizes are slightly smaller than currency. [4] SS is more commonly used for apparel means, while PP (or pearl plate) is used for jewelry. [5]
