If you're considering investing in a beautiful diamond ring from a GIA-certified retailer you want to ensure that you are choosing a ring that will look simply stunning on your hands. You wouldn't run out and buy a dress without knowing what size fits you, and you shouldn't do the same with a ring. Taking the time to choose a ring that fits the curve of your fingers and hands can help you find a band that appears to be made for you. At Marlow's Diamonds, we have a ring to suit every finger, so why not browse our selection using our guide?
Large or wide fingers will look best with a wider band or shanks. A split shank is an excellent choice for those who do not prefer a single wide band. Double or triple shanks with angular shapes and asymmetrical designs will reduce the appearance of wide fingers. Try to find an elongated diamond with a setting that flatters and highlights the main stone.
If you have slim fingers, try not to choose a ring that overpowers them. A large-cut diamond on a narrow band will look bulky on your hand. To balance the ring-to-finger ratio, look for a ring that makes the fingers appear somewhat wider. Consider smaller stones with thicker bands, as they will complement the thin shape and provide the ideal canvas for a brilliant stone.
Luckily, most ring styles suit those who have long fingers. You can choose from a stone of most shapes such as round, oval, square, emerald, and much more. A princess cut is usually popular amongst those who have longer fingers, as it makes for the perfect centrepiece on the hand. A wide band will also help to compliment the length of the finger.
For the shorter finger, a ring that helps to elongate should always be the goal. A stunning stone that has an oval, pear, or marquise shape will do wonders for lengthening the appearance of the finger. You could also choose more rectangular shapes, however this may look a bit bulky on the hand if you have small hands as well. Narrow-width bands are perfect here, as this will also help your fingers to appear longer.
If you have large knuckles, you may want a ring that pulls the eye to the finger rather than the hand. Thicker and heavier bands will focus attention on the ring itself rather than the knuckle. Choose a ring that is expertly embellished with multiple stunning stones, and you will earn nothing but compliments.
In general, a smaller ring fits better on a smaller hand. In this situation, choose a round princess cut, oval, or heart-shaped stone. This will prevent your hand from seeming to be dragged down by an overwhelming ring. Smaller hands are better suited to more classical stone and band cuts.
A larger hand means that you have much more opportunity to be creative with your ring choice. Why not try a bolder ring that expresses your personality and personal tastes? This hand type will suit chunky ring styles which means you will have room for significantly more exquisite stones. Choose a spectacular ring that is a bit off-beat, and your finger is sure to be the envy of everyone for miles around.
When selecting a ring, the main principles are still focusing on balance and making your hand and fingers look more beautiful. They realise that there are certain parameters to be taken into account, such as the size of the stone, the kind of the band, and how it fits the individual’s hands and fingers, to choose a piece that will contribute most to the beauty of their hands. Whether it be a huge engagement ring or a simple wedding band, the essential concept is just to choose a design that you feel comfortable with. Finally, the best diamond ring can be defined as one which may look good on your fingers and which may give you the feeling of elegance whenever you wear it. At Marlow’s Diamonds you can find a wide range of rings and diamonds.
