A wedding ring is not just an ordinary ring but a metal band which incorporates your emotions into it. It is something that you are attached to. 

We are here to put some light on the topic of the selection of the wedding ring that is a perfect match for you. Know about the wedding bands for men, their size, shape, color, style, and find what is best for you. 

What sizes of wedding bands are available, which one goes with your fingers and fits in perfectly?

Most rings are measured in millimetres or ‘mm’ in short. Customers usually find it difficult to understand the measurements of rings. 

Also, different measuring units make it more confusing for people, so it is better to have a ruler handy and visualize the width of the ring on your finger. 

The width of wedding rings ranges from 2mm to 7mm. These can be categorized into thinner and wider ring bands. The size is relative to the dimensions of your hands and fingers. This also actively decides which structure and what type of metal band ring should be chosen. Of course, the final decision is based on your choice. However, there are many factors that you should consider before you start your journey on buying a ring for yourself. You should be aware of the following before you go to buy a ring. 

Thinner Bands

Metal bands which have a width of 2mm to 3mm are categorized as thinner bands. These rings tend to look like more delicate rings because of their small size and width. These rings are mostly paired with some other rings in many cases and are used in ‘stackable rings’. They give a complete look when carried with other matching rings and gems that amplify their beauty. Individually they are not so popular, but many people who like a lighter look prefer these thin bands or rings.

Wider bands

Wedding bands which range from 4mm to 6mm in width come under wider bands. These dimensions are the ‘popular ring width’ that people choose for their rings. It gives an impactful visual look to your finger making it appear bold and decent. The majority of the rings that you see in the market can be categorized under wider ring bands. A wider band design is recommended if you like to wear rings or you want a perfect fit for your wedding day. You can choose any of your desired designs that you want. This category is a suitable size of the ring and most of the designs go with it. 

Also in many cases where the customer wants a wider ring, they can select a width of 7mm-8mm. Usually, rings of such width are preferable for men as their rings have few gems and cover more space. So, frantically speaking, a gold ring with a wide face and a few diamonds studded on them will tend to look really good on a man’s hand.

How thick is 2mm when it comes to wedding bands?

To give you a good perspective you can take a nickel (quarter/25cent) for comparison. A 2mm wing will be of the same width as that of a standard US nickel. 

A 6mm ring will be as wide as 3 quarters stacked on top of each other (approx). This will help you get an idea as to what type of ring you may want on your finger. 

The same can be done to figure out the width of an 8mm, 10mm and 12mm ring. 

Wedding Band Widths for Men

The rings for men are usually crafted are about 8mm in width. But that does not limit men to go with rings which have a 6mm-10mm in width. Many men prefer the ring of 6mm as they do not want the ring to look too big on their finger. The ring should go with the size of their hand. A ring with a bandwidth of 2mm and 4mm is not mainly in fashion when it comes to men’s jewelry.   

While talking about a perfect ring for anybody be it a man or woman, there is not any fixed set to find the ring for them. If we see an average man picks an 8mm size ring than a 6mm size ring. An 8 mm ring goes with the structure of men’s hands in case they are bulky. 

Wedding Band Widths for Women

Women mostly prefer the size 4mm as the majority of them tend to have smaller fingers. But that doesn’t mean they don’t wear 10mm or 12mm rings, in the end, it all comes down to preference and what looks good on their hands.
