6.75.

I thought my ring finger was bigger than that, and I always complain about having big man hands so FI ordered my ring in a 7.5. Opps.

Seriously, I have the smallest hands. Like I have to by children's gloves. But I wear a size 7 ring.  I don't think that a size 8 automatically means man hands.

Depends on the ring - but I'm a 5 and they still spin on my finger. We just did this the other day in the store so Mike could actually order the right size whenever he decides to do that. :-)

I get irritated because with my old Ering/wedding ring and now my second set - I have to make sure they can be sized down that low because sometimes they can't. I've had two rings crack down the middle when they've tried. Boo.

i had my ring finger sized a few months ago (just in case) and i'm a 5.5.

Gosh I feel like the odd one out here.  I don't know my ring size.  I have a terrible memory, so I don't know the sizes of the rings I have.  I think I'm somewhere around a 6.5-7.

Paige, we're finger size twins.  I'm a size 9 too.  My ring is slightly tight now that it's really hot.  In the winter it spins a bit.

I was very surprised when my bf and I went to look at engagement rings- when I was sized they told me I was a 6 1/2, but all my other rings are like a 7 1/2 or 8. They told me that fine jewelry runs smaller than normal stuff- I guess that just goes to show how much "fine jewelry" I own!

My e-ring and wedding band are both a size 4.5.

I'm a size 7. It's so strange how it all works though. I have really long fingers and they look really slender but I wear a size 7 comfortably. My friend has short fingers that look chubby and she wears a 5. It's just weird.

I have a birthstone ring I got at age 16 and had sized when it was new. The few times I've tried it on, it's been loose, but I haven't gotten around to resizing it. I don't remember what size it is. But I'll tell you, I weigh at least 20lbs more than I did at 16.

For "off the shelf" rings, I'm a size 6. I played with the sizer at Target, and I'm probably actually 5 3/4, but they didn't have quarter sizes.

For me it depends on the hand, the ring, the time of day, time of year. Ugh.
When (then) BF asked me i said 7 because all the rings i buy are 7 but i wear most on my right hand which is slightly smaller. So my Ering is a 7 but 1) it's a thin band and 2) it's on my left hand (obviously). So i'm thinking about getting sized down to maybe 6.75 or 6.5 but i'm concerned because i do sleep in it and my fingers swell in the night or that time of the month or in the heat, etc and i don't want to have a
"muffin top" ring finger. But i also don't want to worry about it slipping off. I'm tempted to wait until i have my wedding band also because i think that will help it feel a little more secure. Besides, i don't want to be without it while it's being resized. lol

Same here. I hate it. I'm generally between a 4.75-5.75,  I think. I think my ring now is a 5.

Yes!! Size nines unite! lol

I wear a size 5 ring on my left ring finger, but I can twist it around easily so I'm probably a quarter or half size smaller than that.  BF is about a 7, which I've heard is the average size for a woman... naturally, I had to tease him about that.

I'm a bigger girl with big hands to begin with. I wear a 10.25.

meamolly

well once I am back at my ideal weight my finger will be an eight. At this time I am a big fat 11 :oPPPPPPPPP

I had my finger sized and I am apparently a 3.75, but will be going for a 4 for some wiggle room. Yes I have freakishly tiny hands (I am not a small person. I'm 5'8"). I even win the tiny-hand award on the internet >:(

Wow...I thought I had small fingers with a 6-7!  Though that's just for costume jewelry, and it seems like the trend is that fine jewelry rings run bigger...? I should probably go get professionally sized before my bf actually buys the ring. The one thing I'm worried about is that my finger size changes drastically based on the temperature, time of month, and even my water and sodium intake. I'm scared it will either not come off or fall off depending on the day!
