How wide is your wedding ring?!

19 replies

Redlocks30 · 27/04/2018 09:45

I have size i ring fingers which seems on the smaller size and I can’t decide what thickness wedding band looks better?! 4mm or 3mm. I have a plain-shouldered platinum diamond solitaire engagement ring already.

Can I be nosy and ask what you have/will be going for?!

What thickness is the band on your engagement ring? I went for the same thickness (think they're both 3mm) in the end.

PineappleScrunchie · 27/04/2018 13:45

I agree go for same thickness.
I wear an i and engagement, wedding and eternity are all 2.5mm I think.

I was wondering this too... I have huge hands (long rather than fat mostly) size n engagement ring. I was thinking of going for the same width wedding ring or it'd look weird? Going to try some on in argos first I think!

duvetfan · 27/04/2018 17:20

I'm a size I too and I went for 3mm. It's a bit thicker than the band of my engagement ring. I think it looks more like a 4, maybe because it's flat.

For those of you with 2.5 and 3mm bands, have any of you got them engraved? I want a thin band but also was very small engravings on the inside

duvetfan · 27/04/2018 20:53

No I couldn't really get mine engraved, it's comfort fit (think that's what it's called-it's been a few years), its hard to explain, it's sort of rounded inside.

Doobigetta · 27/04/2018 21:57

Mine is 3mm with engraving on the inside. I wanted as slim as possible and 3mm was the smallest size I could get engraving on.

BrashCandicoot · 27/04/2018 21:59

I’m a L and went for a 3mm band - it’s the same as my engagement ring band so doesn’t add too much bulk to my finger, but is chunky enough that it doesn’t look lost I’d I wear it by itself.

10mm, I don't wear an engagement ring

Lonecatwithkitten · 28/04/2018 12:12

I am a K so very close to you. I was married before and have a 3mm flat court wedding ring with a 3mm court engagement ring. As well as being small my fingers are short so it was all too much.
I have just designed my rings for my second marriage both rings are court with engagement ring being 2.5mm and wedding ring 2mm these are much, much more suitable for my fingers.

GinUser · 29/04/2018 11:12

4 mm

happymummy12345 · 29/04/2018 11:16

Mine is 2mm. All 3 of my rings are very thin, about the same size. I prefer thin bands, especially as I wear all 3 together

sprinkleofsunshine · 29/04/2018 11:28

Mines around 2.5-3mm. Plain platinum band :-)

Cliveybaby · 29/04/2018 18:13

I said upthred I wanted to match my engagement ring but I'm not sure how to... It's kind of 2 thin bits that cross on the front, and the back is just under 2mm wide...
not sure I want to wear my two rings next to each other tbh... Might wear them on separate hands. Does anyone do this?

MaggieFS · 30/04/2018 18:12

2.5mm court shaped band, size K, because it's the same width as my engagement ring and I didn't even think about the width of that when choosing it! It does have tiny diamonds channel set into it though because I fell in love with sparkly things after getting my engagement ring... wasn't worried about engraving so that didn't feature in the decision making.

FluffyPersian · 01/05/2018 13:52

1mm

I LOVE very thin and delicate jewellery and could never find anything I liked.

Had a look on eBay and bought mine for £135 on there.... Get married in July and can't wait to wear it as it's platinum and shiny, but very thin.

Could you perhaps buy a really cheap silver one in whichever size you think looks best (under £10) and see if it looks 'right' and you feel happy wearing it against your other ring?

baxterboi · 04/05/2018 09:30

I got 3mm and my fiance got 4mm

theunsure · 04/05/2018 09:32

3mm, which is the same as my engagement ring.

Poopooweewee · 04/05/2018 12:46

I am a size I wedding ring size with long fingers. I have a 2mm solitaire with platinum band engagement ring and I went for exactly the same size and style wedding band.

It totally suits my hand, any bigger would have been too much.
