Ring thickness

Currently designing my engagement ring and one of the designs is 8mm thick but I wonder if it's too much. Wedding band would obviously be much thinner. Google is not helpful. Does anyone have a 8mm band they are willing to share a picture of?

Holy moly. That's some size band. Mine is 2mm, my mums is 4mm I think. She loves hers. I love mine. Would be interested to see an 8mm tho.

would an 8mm plus a wedding band fit on the bottom part of your finger? I dont think it would on mine, you need it to feel comfortable as you'll be wearing it every day forever

I would say too thick. I have 3 thin rings and they are uncomfortable to wear together so I imagine one thick one thin would be uncomfortable.

My engagement ring is 2mm and my wedding band is 3mm any thicker and I think it would pinch...

My engagement band is 2.5 and wedding band 3mm and I don't have room for an eternity ring! (Do have small hands tbf) How will you fit two on there if one is 8mm? I guess if you really love it, you could move it to other hand when married, and then you could have a chunky wedding ring too?

When you choose a wedding ring, just go to the jewelry store and ask him to put a ring of the same width and shape on your finger. Then come a couple more times in the sutra and in the evening - because the hands of many people swell in the evening. Also keep in mind the fact that you want to wear a wedding ring, periodically combining it with other rings on this finger.

Just look on the finger of anyone who got married in the 1970s!
