    Hi, I am speaking as a larger sized finger person who loves rings, I
    can't tell you the amount of times I would have bought a ring if it
    just slipped on my finger. 

    People with slim fingers have endless rings to choose from, and if
    you are smart enough to make larger size rings and advertise it on
    your booth or wherever you market your pieces I can almost guarantee
    that you will always sell the larger sized rings. And remember bigger
    ladies don't always like big garish rings. 

    I went searching Tucson one year for a ring for a friend of mine who
    has the same sized finger as me and as soon as I happened to stumble
    upon a booth holder who had one to fit I bought it, didn't even
    bargain the price. 

    Plus you can always market the larger sized ones for the middle
    finger which is very fashionable for the larger stones to be set
    into. I see a lot of people wearing one large ring like this and a
    big chunky cuff. 

    The same goes for necklaces or those cords some are just that little
    bit too small and if you have a few at least in the larger sizes I
    think you will sell them as quick if not quicker than the small ones.
    Ditto for those cuff bracelets that are all the rage, go and look and
    see if anyone is making larger ones you will have to search around
    for them. 

    So please consider the larger framed people out there, they are
    usually better customers to boot. They are so happy that something
    fits right off the rack, I think there is more money to be made out
    there if you have some of your range in the larger sizes. 

    Very few watches are made with that extra inch or so on the band
    either unless you go into the men's sections of watches. 

    Any one have any feedback on this? It would be interesting to hear
    your experiences on this size issue. 

    I know it works in the clothing industry, I worked in retail and if
    we had larger sized clothing these customers would always buy more
    than one of items that fit, same goes for ladies larger sized shoes.
    You will find the shop owner will only get a couple of sized 10 and
    10.5 in a whole box of shoes and they are the first to go. 

    Sorry to ramble on but I think this is a subject that is not
    broached often 

Christine in the Ridge.
