Selecting the perfect ring should consider your fingers’ shape and not solely the style of the ring. The ideal ring should boost the beauty of the hand, creating a more balanced and refined appearance. This is a guide on how to choose rings based on different finger types. 

People with long fingers are in luck as almost every ring style will suit them. However, some styles are better than others. Wider band rings are great for longer fingers as these opposing features help in balancing the overall look. Large statement rings that have larger stones or intricate settings are also great. They have a nice balance that makes them more noticeable. For elongated fingers, round, oval, and cushion-cut diamonds will suit best as these softer shapes greatly emphasize the fingers length. Long fingers are also suited for vintage style designs and double bands that add sophistication.

The primary goal in selecting a ring for fingers that are short in length is to create a lengthening illusion. Forget about rings that are thick and wide; instead, go with slender, delicate ones as they help in elongating the fingers without overpowering them. Rings with oval and pear cut diamonds are the most flattering as their shape is elongated, not to mention that marquise cut diamonds has the same effect. Avoid overly wide bands as the designs will have a heavier set look and can make fingers appear shorter. Choosing north-south oriented stone rings also creates the illusion of height, as such pieces make fingers look more dainty.

As for rings with slender fingers, volume width needs to be added from every angle for balance purposes. Ideal rings would be ones with thicker bands as this, in return, give a fuller look to the hand. Finer rings can easily be lost with slimmer fingers, therefore round, princess, or cushion cut diamonds will fit perfectly as the rings will look wider. Cluster sets and stones are good because these make the fingers appear less slender which is definitely needed after losing slender fingers. Avoid overly petite rings, as fingers may look thinner when dainty rings are placed on them.

Wide fingers are suitable for oversized and striking rings due to their large proportion. The goal is to carry out excessive fringe constructions that will widen the fingers even more. To compensate, wide bands and larger stone settings, such as halo and three-stone rings, are favorable. Proportions are also flatteringly complemented by oval, emerald, and marquise cut stones because their elongate forms slim down. These rings also appear more elegant due to having asymmetrical designs or split shank bands which draw the eye from the width. 

Knuckles that stand protruded may require wearing rings that do not to draw focus to them. Detailed metal work or chunky rings do the job by drawing their attention elsewhere. Such rings help create an interest towards the fingers themselves instead of the ring. Other rings, like wide bands where vintage costernums are integrated into the weaving of the patterns, help divert attention from the fingers, lending an overall elegant appeal.

Having big hands means one isn’t restricted when it comes to experimenting with unique and oversized designs. Three finger rings, cocktail rings, chunky bold rings; all make a confident statement. A large diamond set in an intricate setting, which comes in unique shapes and sizes, ensures that the ring looks beautiful in an ostentatious way while not being too much.
