Is there a chart that shows the "actual" size in millimeters

[ame]

of the stones?

Like a "drawing" of what the diameter of rounds is by carat size?

Someone else showed this...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/stores/jewelry/create-a-ring/actual-diamond-size.html/103-8018968-9015803

It''s a nice PDF that shows sizes.

The PDF is intended for printing. Then you compare to the size on the printout. I have not done it with this file so I can't vouch for its accuracy. Different monitor sizes make comparisons on your screen impossible.

Did you type correctly? Did you really hold it up to the screen? Or did you print it out? The instructions specifically tell you to print it out and make sure you''re not shrinking to fit or enlarging to fit.

The screen is NOT accurate at all. Depending on your monitor size and DPI, it could be way off. Try printing the PDF and then checking the actual printout.

Adobe''s default is usually more than 100% when on your screen. I''m thinking that''s where your issue lies. When printed out, the sizes scale up pretty straight on, though I haven''t looked at it down to tenths of millimeters.

Ha! that''s what you get for not reading directions

I always did that in school too b/c I was in such a hurry to finsh a test or something...I definately should have learned my lesson by now...Thanks everyone!

THIS time I printed out...and it is right on target...Thanks all!

I keep printing out for myself and then losing charts that show pictures of stone sizes in different mm. I used this thread today and thought I would add another link to this thread in case others come along and need a chart as I sometimes do!

another size chart
