| When you are told that a [[Barbell]] is 1/2" long, what does that really mean? Does it mean the total length, or are they measured from the middle of the [[Bead|bead]], or some other way?

| '''[[Barbell]]s''' are measured from the inside edge of one bead to the inside edge of the other bead. No part of the bead is included in the measurement. So, the length of the barbell is generally the wearable surface of the [[Jewelry|jewelry]]. | | == Related Risks == |

| '''[[CBR]]s''' are measured by their inner diameter. That is, if a ring is 1/2" but is made of 8ga metal (which has a 1/8" diameter), the ''inner diameter'' of the ring will be 1/2", and the ''outer diameter'' of the ring will be 3/4". The inner diameter though is the one that is named.
