Wide or Narrow Gold Ring? Compare the Fit in Store

Two rings marked with the same size can feel different on your hand. Band width tells you how much of your finger the ring covers. If a broad design catches your eye, try that design on even if you already know your usual size.

Compare both bands on the same finger

Ask for the width of each band in millimetres. Try them one at a time on the finger where you plan to wear the ring. Look at the palm side too. A wide decorative top may taper to a narrow band underneath.

Try an everyday movement

Bend your fingers gently and hold something light, such as an empty bag handle. Notice whether the edges press into a crease or rub against the next finger. If you plan to wear another ring alongside it, ask to try the combination.

Keep the model details with the size

Once you find a ring that feels comfortable going on, being worn and coming off, note the model code, band width and size. Try the fit again if you switch to a different width.
