Written by Kathryn D'Imperio Thursday, 23 October 2008 20:33
Jewelry comes in many shapes and sizes, not to mention styles, colors, and designs. The different styles and sizes of jewelry offer lots of options for people to decide what fits best or what looks best. Comfort should be as much of a consideration as style when selecting jewelry. 
Choosing the best rings for your fingers is a great place to start in finding jewelry that suits you.
Choosing the best rings for your fingers gets easier when you actually begin the search for attractive rings that appeal to you. Whether you are searching online for styles you know look great or actually going out to the stores to try on rings, remember the key elements of choosing rings that look great with your particular fingers and hands: comfort, style, thickness of the band, and size of the stone or any designs.
Best Rings for Your Fingers Based on Fashion and Style
Finding your own fashion and style preferences can truly help in the process of choosing the best rings for your fingers. The truth is, you have to like the rings in order to want to wear them. You don’t want to pick out a ring based on finger shape alone – you must also consider your preferences in metal, design, stones or adornments, etc.
Think about these things… Do you want a fancy ring for special occasions or a more casual ring that you can wear every day? Do you want to buy several different rings to go with a few select pieces in your wardrobe, or are you hoping for something you can wear with everything? Are you more traditional, or fast following the trends? Once you have answered these questions, you’ll be better suited to begin the hunt for the best rings for your fingers.
Best Rings for Your Fingers Based on Finger Shape
Consider the shape of your fingers when selecting rings. The shape of your hands and fingers may work better with certain styles of rings than others, but you should still keep your own style preferences in mind. B2C Jewels offers the following tips for finding and choosing the best rings for your fingers:Best rings for long and thin fingers:
If you have long and thin fingers, look for rings that offer a noticeable, eye-catching element. Draw attention to the ring, not the length or slender appearance of your fingers, when choosing the best rings for your fingers.
B2C Jewels suggests: “Choose a thicker band and a larger stone to balance out the fingers’ length.”
Best rings for shorter and thicker fingers:
If you have shorter and thicker fingers, you might want to consider delicate rings that won't call a lot of attention to the length or width of your fingers. Consider the narrowness of the band and the size of the stones when selecting the best rings for your short, thicker fingers.
B2C Jewels suggests: “Narrower bands and smaller stones will avoid visually cutting off too much of the finger.”
Best Rings for Your Fingers Based on Comfort
It is important to keep comfort in mind as you search for the best rings for your finger shape. Whether you have slender piano fingers or knobby knuckles or wider fingers, you can still find a ring that offers a comfortable fit and a beautiful appearance. Choosing the best rings for your fingers may ultimately come down to the comfort factor, so don’t ignore this element.
“Don’t stop at the tailor to custom fit your fashion,” says Eric Alulis, a specialist in New Product Development for Superfit® Inc. “Stop by your local jeweler and discover ways to custom fit your jewelry as well! Having your ring fit with a special mechanism will allow any ring you already own (or one you are picking out for yourself) to open completely to bypass your knuckle and fit comfortably at the base of the finger.
“You will never have to struggle to force a ring on or off over a reluctant knuckle and your ring will no longer spin around your finger. It will sit securely in place and present perfectly.”
Remember, when looking for the best rings for your fingers, you really can wear anything you like. By considering proportion and visual appeal in the decision process, though, you can find rings that look perfectly dazzling on your hands. Once you get to know your style preferences and which types of rings you find comfortable, the rest of the decision process is a piece of cake!
