Not all rings suit every type of finger. But don’t worry if you have slender fingers, we are here to help you find the best engagement rings for small fingers.
Finding the Best Engagement Rings for Small Fingers
Size of the Stone
It is always best to go for stones of smaller sizes if you have small fingers. This makes the finger look wider and ensures that it is not completely engulfed by the stone.
Avoid larger diamonds—anything more than 2 carats might make your finger look odd. The added advantage is that, on slender fingers, smaller diamonds appear bigger than they are.
Cut of the Stone
Opt for a ring with softer diamond shapes like round cuts or cushion cuts. As these are wider cuts they make the ring look fuller on your finger.
Ring Setting
Prong, pave and bezel settings compliment slender fingers very well. Accent diamonds set in thin channels on the band also look good on small fingers. Three stone settings in which two smaller stones flank a larger center stone also make your finger look wider than usual.
Band
Always go for thicker bands as these help create an illusion of width. Band sizes that are proportionate to the stone size complement small fingers well.
Style
Avoid extravagant designs—a minimalistic approach is always a foolproof way to go. While some stacking looks good on slender fingers, don’t opt for overly stacked or clunky styles as these can make your finger look disproportionate.
