Hi,
In this thread you can see two rings that I posted, my engagement ring and my sapphire RHR.
This is the link
My engagement ring is a size 7 (it is the aquamarine/ diamond ring in the XOX shape - post 11 and 13) and the sapphire/ diamond right hand ring is post 22 and a size 7.5
I hope that helps you.

Is size 7 REALLY that large? My ring finger is the same size, but I never thought my hands were ginormous until I became a member of this community. I think I''ve seen a 2.5 on this board
. I wish I had pics to share, but I''m afraid FI wasted his money on my digi. I am incapable of taking a clear pic. Soon, some day soon...

What a great idea! I''m with LollyBear--I wear a size 7 too & never thought my hands were that big until I joined PS. Now I''m getting a complex!
Hopefully I''ll have a ring to post to this thread soon...
In the meantime, you might want to check out the rings at Fay Cullen. (especially if you like antique styles) She shows pictures of all of her rings on hand models.

Wow, I didn''t realize what a difference a halo can make. I had never seen a before and after picture like that! It looks enormous with the halo. I''m glad I went with the halo for sure!
I think that around a size 6 seems to be what the average ring size is. Most of the stores where I tried on rings had size 6 or so on display. Of course maybe that''s so a wide variety of people will be able to try them on. Maybe someone should do a poll to see what the average size on PS is to give us an idea. I would do it but I don''t know how!

I wear a 6 and always thought my hands were big!! After PS and seeing all these 3-5 ring sizes...I definitely have more of a complex! I only DREAM about having smaller fingers..the smaller the hand/fingers the bigger the rocks. A 3c on a size 3 is much bigger looking than on a size 6 or 7 or 8!
When will they come up with that hand lipo??
When I tried on rings in stores, size 6 or 6.5 was what they carried, so I always figured that was the average.

Hey Brightspot, now I feel REALLY inferior!!! I wear a women''s size 9 and feel ginormous compared to all other PSers that have posted here
I am not a huge person at 5'' 5" and a size 12 in most clothes, I am the "average" size for the american woman--at least that is what I read...I am constantly watching what I eat, drink or how much I excercise or not...my hands change very little even when I was my tiniest. When I married 24 1/2 years ago I was a size 8 in the ring finger department and now after 9 pregnancies, its a size 9
.
I know how hard it is to find sample rings to try on cuz I have been shopping and its no fun. I am a curvy woman and will not be able to change that, except the weight part, which is definitely part of my daily routine.
My poor fingers
have no chance of looking dainty...
Since I am shopping for a new setting, do you or others feel I should lean towards 2 rings--a e-ring and a wedding band like I initally intended to do--or go with more of a single ring with a split shank--or 3 rings like I have seen others do with a solitaire and 2 eternity rings to sandwich the solitaire? I am intent on getting a Regent cut or a Jubilee cut, if all goes well with some pave on the basket and 3/4 down on both sides of the ring. I''d appreciate what you and others think might look best on us ladies with less than tiny hands...
Thanks

You read correctly
! I have 7 boys and 2 girls and all still live at home...Diamonds have taken on an extra special meaning to me...While having kids, I was lucky to be able to wear ANY rings.
As my hubby and I approach 25 years this coming February 14th, I feel I deserve to be a tad selfish and go for a honking rock (somewhere around 1.55+, maybe even with a halo--who knows for sure?!) and to wear it well. Our youngest is 8 1/2 and the baby factory was closed 8 1/2 years ago!
Time to enjoy raising my brood and to party a little for the rest of my life
!
I so enjoy seeing everyone''s rings and reading the proposals and love stories...
Do you think I am being too self-centered?
I just want my own bling...maybe something to pass on to another generation as an heirloom of enduring love...

Oh heavens no Deanna, you are NOT being selfish at all!!! For having 9 children, all of which are still at home with you, and holding together a marriage for 25 years, you are to be commended and DESERVE something very wonderful for all your hard work!! What a woman you are! That is an ultimate sacrifice that you are doing - having that many children and keeping a family together!!
YOU GO GIRL!! GET THAT DIAMOND!!!!
YOU GO GIRL!! GET THAT DIAMOND!!!!
Matatora,
Thanks for your comment...I notice the pics of rings on long lanky fingers and think--OMG--I am SO not going to be able to post my pics when I get my ring cuz I will have these huge hands compared to what I have seen.
The thing is, I DO have long fingers that ARE graceful--I am told by my manicurist--but my fingers and knuckles just are what they are...
I do appreciate the fact that I know that I am not alone and that having size 9 fingers and a 7 1/2 inch wrist is normal for me and alot of women...

DeannaBana, After 9 kids, I definitely think you deserve a halo!
I love regents & jubilees--I can''t wait to see your new ring!! You deserve it!
Don''t feel bad about your ring size! I too have really long fingers & pretty big knuckles. (I crack mine too, IrishEyes...
) Short of the finger lipo which Mara suggested, we can''t change that. (ring sizes don''t seem to change too much w/ weight loss or gain) Enjoy your long, graceful fingers & find something fabulous to put on them!
Treysar, thanks so much for posting the before-halo & after-halo shots. What a huge difference! I''ve always loved your ring, but it''s nice to see exactly how much of a difference the halo made, not only of the spread of the ring as a whole, but the center stone looks so much bigger too!
Hey, what did you wind up deciding on for a wedding band?

In my opinon you also need a diamond band with 9 good sized stones, so that one day you can give one to each of your children. Maybe .25 carat each?

Oooh...that is something I could get used to
!!! My hubby may something different than that though...
...He isn''t as keen on the significance of what diamonds mean to me...
.
He is Mr. Sensible...We have a great relationship overall, but he and I differ worlds apart on this
...
But I am not giving up and he has no idea of what is going to take place during the next little while (hee! hee!)

Mrsfrk,
I think I agree with you! I have determined that I am naturally drawn to the cushion brilliant cut, the regent cut and the jubilee cut. I am still learning alot here on PS, but I am convinced that 1.60 in carat size at a minimum and probably somewhere around 2.15 carats (obviously depending on clarity, near flawlessness and what fits our budget)...
Thanks for your support and sweet comments!
