Generally speaking, is there a size difference between your left and right ring finger? I know it's obviously individual, but generally are most people exactly the same, or do most people differ by 1/2 or even a couple of ring sizes?

Thanks

I think it has to do with the hand that you use the most. My left ring finger is 6.5 and my right is 7.0 and I'm right-handed.

LH = 5
RH = 6-ish ... it fluctuates, and it fluctuates more than my LH!!

My left finger is a 4 and my right is a 4.25-4.5. I think most people vary slightly in size between both hands.

The difference in mine is minimal - about 1/8 or 1/4 of a size. I can wear the same rings on both hands very comfortably, unless the weather is at an extreme.

My dominant RH is a size 8, my LH is 7.75. Not much of a difference but in the heat, they both explode! I hate winter, but I love how my rings are loose when it's cold!

I'm a lefty and a size 5 on my left ring finger. I can wear a 4.5-4.75 on my right ring finger.

Same. Unless it's REALLY cold, my fingers are sausages in the morning for a few hours. I can't sleep in any rings or I'd likely lose a finger. But I can't get them on til like 9am easily on the average workday. But my knuckles are my biggest hurdle. And I use my right hand a lot more than my left despite normally writing left handed.

6.5 on right, 8 on left. I'm right-handed. I asked a jeweler about this and he said it's rare for him to see hands that are the same size. For men and women both.

My left hand ring finger is smaller than my right hand ring finger, I´m right handed. I think it probably has to do with the hand you use the most.

Yeah, I think it's your dominant hand that tends to be bigger. I"m 1/2 size bigger on the right.

Right handed, my right ring finger is a 6 and my left is a 5.25, BUT that is because of my knuckles only. I don't take off my engagement ring and bands very often, since it's a very tight fit over my knuckle, but at least they are safe from falling off. Sometimes I can wedge my narrow 5.25 bands over my right hand knuckle. I have a top-heavy size 6 right hand ring that flips over a lot, because the finger itself is nearly a size smaller than the knuckle will allow me to wear. I need to get sizing beads in that thing one of these days.

Yes. My left ring finger is at least a 1/2 size smaller than my right finger. Also in the summer both of my ring sizes go up about 1/2 to 1 size.

My left is a 4.5 and my right is a 4.75. I can comfortably wear sizes 4.5-5 on both hands, and usually I size rings as 4.5 if meant for my left hand and 5 if meant for my right.
