After a while they're just measured in inches/fractions of inches.
39.6mm = 1-9/16"
41.2mm = 1-5/8"

Just grab a mm & inch ruler and see for yourself. Won't be a standardised jewellery size though, so you'd have to downsize or stretch.

actually depending on the manufacturer different gauges are different sizes, sometimes as much as 1 mm or more. in bigger sizes, and any size really, its better to stick to measuring in mm than using gauge measurements
