    I have found that most stock size rings have been a size 7 lately. 
    In the past I seem to remember size 6 being more prevalent.  (10's
    for men) 

    In choosing a stock size for your own line, I would take into
    consideration that some styles of rings are more easily sized up than
    down or vice versa once stones are set. Also consider which finger a
    ring is designed for. An index finger would usually require a little
    larger size. 

    If your stock size is below a size 6 it might not show as well or
    sell as well to a retailer. Not an issue if you are the end seller.
