Ring Dimensions
WHAT WE DO
- Ring thickness (depth) is a reference to the thickness of a ring's profile. The width of a ring and thickness of a ring may seem to have the same meaning, but actually reference very different attributes of a ring and are not interchangeable.
- Ring Width is a reference to the width from the top down view of a ring on a finger.
What ring thicknesses are available?
There is not a standard size for the thickness of a ring and in fact we can create many designs that vary in thickness. We generally offer most of our wedding band style rings in thickness ratings from: light, medium, full, and heavy. The ratings we use are in reference to weight as the thickness of depth will directly correlate to the weight of the ring!
What ring widths are available?
Industry standard ring widths are generally: 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 20mm. Uncommon widths are also available for certain styles or by custom request are 5mm, 7mm and the very wide 20mm width. See our pictures below to help as a reference point! We can make any ring in any width!
How wide/thick should your ring be?
There are no rules when it comes to what ring width or thickness you should wear, but there are very common trends we do see. Ring widths 4mm and smaller are generally purchased and worn by women in our experience though not always. Ring widths 6mm and greater are generally purchased and worn by gentleman though this is not always the case. Smaller widths for women are generally due to bands being worn alongside diamond engagement rings though we do find a trend of much wider rings being created and made with diamonds to be worn on the opposite hand of the engagement ring.
Do I have to follow the norm?
The honest simple answer to this question is absolutely not! We have had a multitude of customers from both genders purchase ring widths in all ranges. Their are also many reasons to not follow ring width tradition as well! A 6mm width or smaller might be a great fit for a man who is looking for something with less presence. The same statement can be made for women who may feel an 8mm or thicker width may be a better fit. Larger ring widths are also worn for modern appeal, which is why 10mm, 12mm and 20mm ring widths are purchased.
Very often rings are purchased not just for weddings, but for style and fashion!

Widths:
If you would like to, print this diagram on standard 8.5″ x 11″ paper. You are able to cut the black bars to the right and wrap them around your finger to give you an idea of how ring widths appear.
Make sure “Shrink over sized pages” is unchecked in the print dialog box. This picture is only accurate if printed to scale (1:1).
Note: This is not for finger size measuring. This sheet is intended as a guide to help you visually see the width of rings and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
