When searching for a wedding ring,
"Does a slim ring suit me better?"
"Maybe a wider one is stylish too!"
— you may find yourself wondering.
In fact, with a wedding ring, even a small change in width changes the impression of your hand.
Get to know the appeal of both slim and wide, and look for the wedding ring that suits you.
■ A slim wedding ring is clean and refined
A slim wedding ring has a light impression that settles naturally onto the hand.
Want to wear it understatedly
Like delicate designs
Want to enjoy the delicate sparkle of diamonds
Want to stack it with an engagement ring
It is recommended for people like this, too.
Even those who don't usually wear much jewelry find it easy to adopt, and it blends naturally with simple outfits.
■ A wide wedding ring is stylish with presence

A slightly wider wedding ring has the appeal of presence that becomes an accent on the hand even on its own.
It is perfect for those who think "I want to enjoy my wedding ring as fashion, too."
Because the ring itself has presence even in a simple design, it is easy to make it look stylish even without diamonds.
■ About how many millimeters is good?
Wedding rings range from slim widths in the 2mm range to around 3mm, and further to wide types with real presence.
However, there is no single right answer that "X mm will definitely suit you."
Even at the same width, how it looks changes with the length of your fingers, the size of your hand, and the ring's design.
Rather than deciding by numbers alone, it is best to try it on and check.
■ The two of you don't have to match widths
You might think, "For a pair of wedding rings, should they be the same width?" — but they don't have to be.
One slim, one wide — each of you can choose the width that suits you.
If you choose the same series or material, you can enjoy a natural sense of pairing even with different widths.
■ When unsure, picture your everyday self
Because a wedding ring is jewelry you wear every day, the sense of "which is more me?" matters too.
If you like delicate accessories, go slim. If you want the ring to be a point of your outfit, go a little wider.
Picturing the accessories you already own and your everyday fashion makes it easier to choose.
Summary | Try on wedding rings before choosing the width
Slim has a delicate beauty; wide has a cool presence.
It is not about which is correct — what matters most is that it suits your hand and that you want to wear it every day.
Because a difference of a few millimeters is hard to tell from photos alone, do compare slim and wide wedding rings on your hand in store.
Find the wedding ring that's just right for you — one that makes you think "I love about this much!"
