Recently I had my ring finger sized at a local jewelry store.  My finger is now as it always has been, an 8.  I ordered this ring in size 8 even after reading the prior reviews saying it ran large.  I was forced to return the ring because it was at least a size too big even though it was labeled "size 8".  Also, the ring was shipped in a tiny Ziploc bag instead of a ring box.  That was disappointing.  The ring did look great and was nice and heavy.  I would have been pleased had it been the right size.
