Chaton (Round) Rhinestones: Sizes are typically expressed in "Stone Size" or "Pearl Plate". For example, a 30ss (round chaton) is .256 inches or 6.5mm (about 1/4 inch in diameter) and equivalent carat weight (in diamond) is 1 carat.
Fancy Stones: Sizes are typically expressed in Millimeters (mm). There are about 25mm to an inch so for example a 12/8mm oval stone Is about 1/2 inch long and about 1/3 inch wide.
The stone size measurement represents the longest and widest point of the stone
Typically fancy stone sizes are expressed with the length first, then the width (12/8mm), however will also see the size expressed with the width first (8/12mm). These stone sizes 12/8mm and 8/12mm are the same size, just expressed differently.

When working with rhinestones and settings you may find the above chart helpful in converting the size to inches, millimeters and carats to determine how the stone will fit into your design. If you repair vintage rhinestone jewelry, this chart can be very helpful in determining the size of stone you will need to replace broken or damaged stones.
