    Are there two different conventions for ring sizing? I have pretty thin fingers (and a petite frame) and I wear a size 5. I know that finger sizes vary wildly but vver the past few weeks, on this board and pricescope, I've seen various references to ring sizes and sometimes I see pictures of hands that are definitely larger than mine and they say something like "I wear a size 3.5."

    Are we operating on two different scales? I'm so confused.

    Hm, I'm not sure. I've never heard of a different system. 

    I will say, though, that my fingers look really stubby and I'm a small ring size. They look stubby more because of how short they are than anything else, so it might look like some people should wear a larger size? Knuckle size has a lot to do with it as well.

    I don't think it's a big deal either way. One size isn't "better."

    I think they are standardized in the US.  Maybe these people are from other countries?

    EDIT: I found this on Wikipedia.  Hope it helps!

    I think that the UK has different sizes than the US and Canada. I know their shoe and apparel sizes are different than ours.

    I think the US has one standard size but other countries definitely have different sizing systems.  I have very slender fingers and I wear a 4.  I don't think I've every even seen 3.5.  Maybe they were talking about sizing from other countries.

    In the UK they have sizes in as letters not numbers... e.g I'm a 'K' in the UK, which is a 5.5 in the US.

    I think it's very hard to tell from a photograph what size peoples fingers are... some people might have small fingers that don't look small in a photo because of the proportions
