Here are stats and recommended weaves for the Sterling Silver rings. We're working on filling in the gaps on the chart. In the meantime, if you need stats for a particular ring size, just let us know. NOTE: Different gauge systems are used for different metals, so H18 SILV does NOT equal H18 in base metals. (Learn more in the Ring Sizes article in FAQ.)
