I would like to buy a gauge to use at home, mainly for measuring the pre-loved rings I've bought over the years since I have no idea on the size of them. Are there differences in quality for example with the ones sold on ebay? Would this be a good one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Ring-Sizer-Guage-Mandrel-Finger-Sizing-Stick-Measure-Standard-Tool-/370791686604?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item5654e821cc

And what about the gauge rings, have you found the ebay ones reliable?

Any other geeky stuff you would recommend for a semi-newbie diamond and ring enthusiast? :)
I currently own an ASET scope (with all the extras that came with it) and a lousy 10x loupe.
 
You want geeky stuff....ok, if you want to measure those rings, I can recommend a website called http://FindMyRingSize.com that lets you find the exact size of your rings for free. It works by calibrating the screen to the online chart. Good luck.
 
If you can get the inside diameter, you can match it up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_size I use a plain ruler but I'm pretty good at eyeballing fractions of a mm. If you're not as comfortable, you can use calipers and get the exact mm.

I found that mandrels can differ from jeweler to jeweler.
