Different size options for one sku

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked.

I am creating site that includes jewelry. One of the items are rings which come in different sizes. The client does not want multiple sku numbers for each size of a style of ring. They have a wide range of sizes, lets say 3-10 with half sizes (3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 ect.) But some of the styles are only offered in limited sizes.

So what I am trying to do, is to set up the product type, so the admin of the site can set the size range of each ring style, he will see a full list of sizes (3-10 is what I would probably use), but can say, this ring is only available in size 4-8 .

Then when the product displays, the site visitor, will have a drop down where they can choose the size they need, with out it listing a bunch of sizes that style does not come in. And that information will be sent along with the order. Again, at this time the store owner does not want a sku for each ring size, but of course he still needs to know what size ring the customer wanted.

I apologize again if this has been addressed a number of times. I am still fairly new to drupal and the drupal commerce module.

Hi. You client may not require different SKU's for same design but different sizes of finger rings . But how will you maintain stock. If you want to options for sizes, then create a product type with a field type sizes with list(text). Provide the options for sizes as you said like 3.10, 3.12 etc. When you create a product with the product type finger rings, you will notice the options for sizes as a drop down menu. In SKU, for example lets assume your finger rings model name is Model. For each size, create a different products with Model310, Model312 where the name Model remains same and only size varies in the same name. If products are created like that, Drupal Commerce can manage stock efficiently with Commerce Stock module. If you want to list each size of finger rings with 5 pieces each, then you wont be able to manage with a single SKU.
