    This is just not a simple answer to your question on ring sizes. 
    Everyone is different, has different size hands and will need
    different size rings. While you could generally say that most women
    fall in the 4-7 size range and men in the 9-12 size range, you will
    still find that there will be women with much larger and much smaller
    sizes and the same with men.  I can almost guarantee you that you
    could make up one ring design in 10 different sizes and of the first
    5 people to want them you won't have the right size for at least two
    of them (I think this is related to Murphy's Law).  Probably if you
    make a 5, 7, 9 and 11, you will have a ring size that almost
    everyone can at least get onto their finger to try on and see how
    they look, but the fact is you will still have to size most of the
    rings you sell.
