Is a 1.5 mm ring band too thin?

THE ANSWER

It is on the edge. A 1.5 mm band is very delicate. It looks elegant and makes the centre stone appear larger. But thin bands wear down faster. Gold loses material over years of daily wear. A 1.5 mm band can become even thinner and eventually crack or break. It bends more easily too. If you work with your hands a lot, this width will not last as long. For daily wear, 1.8 mm is a safer minimum. For an occasional wear ring or if durability is not a concern, 1.5 mm can look beautiful. Just know it needs more care.
