Proportion of white circle/8 on an 8 ball

[ShortBusRuss]

I am purchasing a shaving scuttle on Etsy, and asked the craftsperson to make the color scheme out to mimic an 8 ball.

I don't have an 8 ball near at this time, and likely won't get to go out to the pool hall this week.

Can anyone tell me... Relative to the width of the eight ball itself, how wide is the white circle, and how wide is the 8 text itself on an 8 ball? I'd like the craftsperson to have accurate ratios, so that the finished product actually looks like a large 8 ball, and the white circle/8 looks proportional to the size of the finished product.

Thanks,

Lots of samples here and other photo sites in the web.

Aramith Tournament set

White Circle is 7/8" in diameter.

There is a broken BLACK circle inside of the white circle that is 3/4" in diameter. The black circle has a 1/8" white space at the horizontal equator of the black circle on the left and right side of the black circle.

The number 8 is 7/16" tall by 5/16" wide at the base (the top part of the 8 is slightly smaller).
