CHOOSING THE RIGHT WIDTH FOR YOU
FINGER LENGTH
Different ring widths flatter fingers differently. For short fingers, you may want to stick with a slimmer band, as a thicker one can make your fingers look even shorter. For long fingers, you can go thicker.
RING PURPOSE
On top of thinking about what flatters your hand, the purpose of the ring is an important consideration. If you plan to use the ring as a stacking band to complement another ring, one of our thin, delicate bands is the best option. If you’re shopping for a standalone band, you can choose whatever width you like.
FINGER SIZE
Wide fingers look great with thick rings, but if you want to give your fingers a slender look, stick with a thinner band. Alternatively, slender fingers look great with thin rings, but for a wider look, go for a thicker style.
