    Like you I have been wondering this.  I am really interested in some
    more responses, since I am trying to do more one-of-a-kind rings. I
    really hate resizing them.  I do a combination of shows and web
    sales, and I think that it hurts the sales process at shows to have
    to tell the customer that it will have to be resized, even if you
    offer to do the sizing for free and send it to them. 

    That being said, I ran a quick check on my orders for a semi custom
    ring style that I sell that is worn much like yours on any finger
    and by men and women.  These are my figures for website sales for the
    last two and a half years that I had handy. 

Size   # Sold
--------------
4.5   =  1
5     =  5
5.5   =  2
6     =  3
6.5   =  1
7     =  6
7.5   =  6
8     =  4
8.5   =  6
9     =  9
9.5   =  2
10    =  6
10.5  =  1
11    =  4
12.5  =  2
12    =  3
12.5  =  1
14    =  1
15    =  1

    From this (very small sample), I am probably going to aim my women's
    rings at 5, 7, and 9 and my men's rings at 10, and 12.  These should
    fit most people and if not, should be a minor size change if I have
    to. 

Cheers,
Paul Ewing
