How to choose the width and thickness of your ring
The width and thickness of a ring have a big impact on not only how it looks but also how it feels when worn.
The width and thickness are things that tend to be overlooked as the focus is on the design, but it's interesting how even the slightest difference can change the impression of the ring.
Today we'll be talking about ring width and thickness.
width
What is the most common width of a wedding ring?
Most women choose 2-2.5mm, while most men choose 2.5-3mm.
Thin (2-2.5mm)
Rings with a standard width give a natural impression and are easy to wear for long periods of time. They are also easy to decorate and have a strong presence. They are perfect for couples who want to match not only the design but also the width.
General (3-3.5mm)
Rings with a standard width give a natural impression and are easy to wear for long periods of time. They are also easy to decorate and have a strong presence. They are perfect for couples who want to match not only the design but also the width.
Thick (4-4.5mm)
A thick ring will make a statement even on a man's sturdy hand. On a woman, it gives a cool impression.
It can also have carvings and intricate designs. It can also feel tight because it has many parts that touch the fingers.
The larger the size, the more comfortable it will be.
As we get older, our hands tend to become rougher and our fingers tend to get thicker, so if you want to wear a ring for a long time, it's a good idea to choose one that is slightly wider.
Thickness
The typical thickness of a ring is about 1.5 to 2 mm.
Considering durability and resizing, a thickness of 1.5 to 2 mm or more is considered appropriate.
Thin (about 1.5 to 1.8 mm)
It is comfortable to wear and suitable for those who have a smaller ring size or are not used to wearing rings.
Please choose a material that is not easily deformed.
Normal (about 1.8 to 2.3 mm)
Considering future maintenance, this is the perfect thickness for a wedding ring.
Thick (about 2.3 to 2.8 mm)
Recommended for people with large hands, those who do heavy work, and those who want more volume in their ring.
