I have many of Carolyn's rings and enhancers and they are all lovely and well made.

I normally wear a 7 in rings. Should I size up for my middle or pointer finger for this ring?

Also, what is your opinion on the price of this ring? I know that Sleeping Beauty prices have escalated due to the supposed closing of mines. However, to spend $122 with tax and shipping on this ring seems somewhat high. I notice originally it sold out and now there are sizes available. Too bad there is not an easy pay offered.

Please let me have your opinion. Thanks.

I suggest - whatever you wear normally on your middle finger - get your usual size. Her rings normally fit very nicely . . with a little wiggle room. I have many of her rings. Her quality is great - especially in her rings, so I image this ring will be quite heavy with silver. I wish there were more EP's too!

Meant to also say, this SB turquoise is excellent! It's from a collector who retrieved it from the mine over 20 years ago, so it's not the crummy stuff that was mined recently. I have the super naja from the American West collection, and it's TDF!!

Jugtown, In other words, you are saying that if I wear a 7 on my ring finger, then I should order one size up for my middle finger. Thanks.

No, not necessarily! I wear a size 6 on my ring finger, but I wear a size 8 on my middle finger . . you should measure your finger. I think QVC has a ring measure thingy that you can print out and wrap around your finger to see what size you are. Or you could go to any jewelry store and they could see what size your finger is.

Whereas I wear a size 6 on my ring finger, a 7 for my middle finger, and an 8 for my index finger. You would need to go up at least 1 size, as a guideline.

Stop in at any jewelers or even the jewelry department of WalMart, KMart, Sears, JCP. They all carry a set of finger gauges and a mandrel. Find out just what size you REALLY are.

Paper doesn't work well. Also, when you print out those things, they may not be accurate if your printer settings aren't correct. Your best fit will be with a metal set, NOT the plastic ones. You don't buy 'paper' rings, so metal works best.

I wear a size 5 on my left ring finger and an 8 on my left middle and index finger. Right hand - size 6 on ring finger, 8 on index finger, 9 on middle finger. I actually have my own set of gauges and a mandrel.

If you have large knuckles, you may have to size to fit over the knuckle, but you can have ring guards to take up half to one size.
