You will be able to select the width of rings for couples when you go shopping. Here are some tips from our experts on how to choose the right width of your wedding band.
Wedding bands are typically 2mm-12mm wide. The smaller widths are more subtle, whereas the wider bands (6mm-8mm), have a noticeable presence.
The size of your ring can make a big difference in proportion. A ring of 8mm will look great on most men but can be overwhelming on small fingers.
People with longer fingers or larger hands find wider bands more comfortable. Those with smaller fingers or shorter hands often prefer narrower band. If you have large hands (sizes 8-15), an 8mm-10mm band might be best for you. If you have smaller fingers, a 2mm-6mm band (sizes 2-8), can feel more proportionate.
The width of couple matching jewelry can range from one millimeter up to twenty or more millimeters. Vansweden Jewelers offers rings ranging from 1mm up to 12mm.
Wedding bands 2mm wide
The 2mm wedding bands are very delicate and unique. The band is made of gold, ceramic, tungsten or a thin layer of tin. 2mm rings tend to be available in smaller sizes, and are rarely found larger than size 12. This ring size is extra-thin, or extra-small.
Wedding bands 4mm wide
Women tend to prefer this narrow ring. This width of wedding band can accommodate delicate inlays.
6mm wide wedding bands
This wedding band width is unisex and universal. This ring is large enough to accommodate a small inlay made of your choice material, but not so wide that it overwhelms your hand.
8mm wide wedding bands
The most common width for men's wedding bands is 8mm. This width is preferred by most men, and comes in many sizes. This allows for an inlay of a large amount of material, which is perfect for showcasing the features of wood, stone, or antler.
10mm wide wedding bands
This ring's width allows you to display any inlays that are unique, or use it as a canvas to engrave stunning images such as fingerprints, footprints, or handprints.
12mm wide wedding bands
The 12mm band is the widest option that we offer. It's perfect for men who want a ring with a larger feel. They are worn as fashion rings because they are noticeable, and come in attractive patterns and designs. This width is perfect for rings up to size 11, which feel more secure and comfortable when paired with the 12mm width. This wider option is unwieldy and difficult to find for smaller ring sizes. We offer a small selection of sizes as low as 5.
