Should wedding band be same width as engagement ring?

Should you size up for wider rings?
Wider bands fit more snugly than narrow bands, so the width of the ring sizer bands that they used will affect the size. Generally you would go up 1/4 size for rings 5-6mm wide and 1/2 size for rings 7-8mm wide. Ideally you want to be sized with bands that are the same width and fit as the ring that you are getting.
How much should you size up for a wide ring?
Wider wedding bands usually require a slightly larger ring size. You’ll want to use a wide band sizer to ensure a good measurement. For example if with a narrow band sizer you are a size 8, a narrow ring should fit fine on your finger. But if you are buying a wider band, you will probably need more like a size 8 ½.
Should I size up for a thick ring?
Does the width affect the size? It sure does. The wider a ring is, the larger it needs to be to fit. If you’re measuring your size from a 2mm wide ring (or our ring sizer) but ordering a ring wider than 4mm, we’ll need to make your ring a little larger.
How do you size a wide band ring?
To measure a ring wider than 4 mm, use the wide-finger sizing gauges. Do not force the finger-sizing gauge over the joint. On a ring stick, the size is determined at the line on the mandrel that touches the central point of the ring’s width. In this example, the band is a size 7 (17.3 mm inside diameter).
Does resizing a ring weaken it?
Resizing Leaves a Weak Spot When a ring is resized, the place where it was cut and then soldered becomes weaker. It also doesn’t help that these cuts are made at the band’s bottom part, which is subjected to the most stress when you wear your ring (if the ring is designed to have a top and bottom).
When should you size a ring up?
Remember, it’s definitely better to size a ring up if you’re unsure. A ring that’s too large is easier to adjust than a ring that’s too small. No ring will be perfect but strive for the best fitting ring that you can. The closer you can get to your accurate size, the better off you’ll be.
How do you size a ring down yourself?
To make your ring smaller using sizing beads, a jeweler simply adds two small metal balls on the back part of the inside of your ring. Sizing beads are an economical way to reduce the size of your ring. They’re perfect for reducing a ring by one half-size and they’re great for keeping your ring upright on your finger.
When should you not wear an engagement ring?
The final time when not to wear an engagement ring is during cooking and food prep. Germs and bacteria can easily get lodged into the ring setting. And, just like in the shower, you risk the ring slipping off when you rinse anything in the sink. If you can, it’s better to take it off while cooking.
How do you get a ring off a muffin top?
Hot water helps the blood vessels that have been constricted by the ring to expand and return to normal. Massage your finger every night with a gentle hand lotion. Hand lotion helps moisturise your skin, removing the dead skin that may have built up around the ring. Allow time for the indentation to go away.
What is ring muffin top?
Abby Sparks, owner of Abby Sparks Jewelry, says, “If a ring is too small it’s going to squeeze your finger in a way where there’s a little bit of finger flesh that pokes out on either side of the ring, like a muffin top.” If you see this ‘muffin top,’ it’s a sign that your ring will end up being uncomfortable to wear.
