    I like to make larger rings because I like to try them on, and I
    wear a 9 or 10. I also occasionally make tiny rings, because fingers
    come in all sizes. 

    I always offer to make rings to size, and sometimes people take me
    up on it, but of course everyone prefers to just have it fit. 

    I have not found that the larger rings necessarily "sell right
    away", but my styles are, as they say, "not for everyone". I do get
    a lot of expressions of gratitude that the rings are not just in
    size 6 or 7, even from people who don't buy them. At shows, my rings
    are set up so people can play with them, which everybody seems to
    like to do-- especially if they fit. 

    I recently got an order for a man's ring in size 17, with a 37mm
    square turquoise. I have seldom seen a more thrilled customer.
