How thick should a wedding ring practically be?

I'm going for 2mm as that's what my ER is too, so they'll match.

Mine is 2mm as well. For depth/thickness, most are similar, but can look different depending on whether you have a rounded court style, or one with "vertical sides" that tend to look a little thicker. Mine is 2mm with vertical sides. Matches my e ring.

I was going to get a 2.5mm heavy court ring, but it was thicker than my ER and they didn't sit well together, so I ended up with a 2.5mm medium. Which was cheaper, so a good thing! I guess the best advice is to try it on with your ER and see which ring looks best with it.

All depends what your hands/fingers are like... A meatier looking ring will look better on bigger hands. I can't think what my ring is off the top of my head, there's no right or wrong thickness.. Just go with what looks and feels right.

I'd say this too and also depends on your ER ad if you're planning on wearing both together.

My ER has a fairly dainty band so I'll go for a thinner wedding ring to kind of match it's thickness.

Mine is 2.5mm wide, but my ER is quite a chunky band, so it matches fine...................I was worried that anything narrower would A. look lost if worn on it's own B. look like the ring pull off the coke can ?

I think mine is 2.5mm or it may even be 3mm but I have sausage fingers. My advice would be try lots on and see what looks best and feels most natural.

I've gone for a 2.5mm light ring and on its own it looks a little odd but with my ER it looks fab. I would advise going into a jewellers first to try on lot of different ones and they buy from Alba Rose-that's what we did and it really helped as what I thought would suit me really didn't.

Hi Takkaeli,

Here are my rings:

My WB is a 2.5mm Ladies Court Ring Medium Weight. It is the same curve as my ER. Other ones I saw were flat, or more curved, you know, humpier! I would say that my ER is 2mm but it is not written on the paperwork as I just checked - but it is slightly thinner than my WB. I wanted my WB to be very slightly wider but not too wide as I have short fingers!

On the weight. Mine is medium and this makes the band the same 'band height' as my ER. The shop tried to talk me into a heavy weight one. It was very very hard to see the difference but I did notice that it was sitting funny against the stone of my ER and therefore it is obviously fractionally higher band height than my ER and not sitting exactly right. I was also not prepared to pay another couple of hundred for a ring where the extra value was not visible to the naked eye!

Hope that helps?

Definitely depends on size of your fingers and your ER!

Don't forget the thicker it is, the more it will stick out, so it's always best to see how it sits with your ER. Normally, I find people want the WR to be the same - or very similar - thickness to their ER so they match. Agree with what everyone else is saying, go try some on; you wouldn't buy a dress without trying it first and you only get to wear that for one day

I'm trying to decide on mine ATM, my ER will prob be between 4 and 2.5mm thickness at the top and my WR will have whatever profile my ER ends up with!

2-3mm depending on the length and width of your finger. good question though, mine is 2mm as I have small fingers and I have a small frame.

I would say try it on with your ER and choose the one you are most comfortable with
