IS IT BETTER FOR A RING TO BE SNUG OR LOOSE?

THE ANSWER

Slightly snug. The ring should slide over your knuckle with a little resistance and sit comfortably on the finger. It should not spin freely. A spinning ring moves the stone to the side or underneath your finger. That looks odd and the stone can knock against things. Too tight is bad too. You cannot get it off easily. Your finger swells in heat, during exercise, and after salty food. A slightly snug ring allows for that swelling. If you can slide a ring off with zero effort, it is too loose. If it leaves a deep indent, it is too tight.
