That made me laugh. Your hands sound rather like those of my tiny aunt. She was about 4'8", very dainty and fine-boned. Once I passed ten years old I grew too big for her gloves, shoes and rings (I used to love playing dress-up with her stuff as a tiny child, because she had such impeccable taste). I was a bit under 4'11" and I used to feel huge next to her, because I have my father's stocky muscular build, and she was so dainty! She was fierce though, and a skilled martial artist - it was she who taught me sword and staff. She had been a nurse in a field hospital in France, during the First World War. She lived past 106, still independent.
My own hands are small but broad, stubby and not dainty at all - gnarly arthritic gardener's hands. I love how Scout has done Sigrun's hands in this picture!
