How to determine ring band width?

THE ANSWER

Start with your finger size and lifestyle. Small hands and short fingers look best with narrower bands. 1.8 mm to 2.2 mm. Larger hands can carry wider bands. 2.5 mm to 3 mm. Consider your daily activities. If you are hard on your hands, go wider for strength. Wider bands also feel tighter because they cover more skin. You may need to go up half a size for a wider band. Think about the centre stone too. A very thin band under a large stone can look unbalanced. A wider band under a small stone can overwhelm it. Try different widths at a jeweller before deciding.
