| Here you will find
important information about sizes, widths, and thicknesses. This
will help you to select the best dimensions for your ring.
Ring Size
Because titanium rings are not easily resizeable, it is important
to get an accurate measurement of your finger. There are a couple
things to consider when you measure your finger.
1) Your
finger will change size during the day, so it's better if you
measure it more than once. I recommend purchasing a plastic ring
sizer set (the blue one), you can find them on the internet or
at some jewelry stores for just a few dollars.
2) Consider
the width of the ring you want. A wider ring will feel tighter
than a narrower ring of the same size. When you measure your finger,
measure the whole area where the ring will be located on your
finger.
Width,
thickness, and proportion
Width, thickness, and ring size play an important factor in how
the ring will look. If you are ordering a pair of rings and want
them to look alike, generally you want the bigger ring to be a
little wider and a little thicker, that will keep the 2 rings
looking proportional to each other.
Width
After you've figured out what size you need, you'll need to figure
out how wide you go. 3-4mm is pretty narrow (around 1/8 inch)
and will sit right at the base of your finger. 5-6mm is a little
wider but still not too wide. 7mm (just over 1/4 inch) is starting
to get to where it will start covering more of your finger rather
than just sitting at the base of it. 8mm and up I consider a fairly
wide ring. 10mm is just over 3/8 inch. 12mm is just under 1/2
inch and 13mm just over 1/2 inch.
Also, the ring size will have an affect on how
wide the ring looks (and feels), so you'll have to take this into
consideration. A size 5 ring that's 10mm wide will look more like
a tube, while a size 15 that's 10mm wide will just look more like
a normal band.
Thickness
I offer selectable thicknesses for most of my rings, from 1.50mm
to 2.50mm. For most rings I recommend 1.75-2.0mm thick, this is
a good average thickness that's not to thin but not too thick.
If your ring is a small ring (around size 4-7) or is very narrow
(3-4mm wide) then I recommend going with the 1.50-1.75mm thick.
If your ring is a larger ring (size 13+), or a very wide ring,
then you might want to go a little thicker, 2.0-2.50mm
Also note that if the ring has angled surfaces,
the width of the ring will affect how wide the edge is. So if
it's a ring like the Saturn
or the Metro
Mod the wider you go the thicker you will want to go
in order to keep the edges from being too pointy.
You will have to use your judgement on what's
the best width and thickness for your ring, or if you're not sure
you can always ask me what I would recommend.
Thickness Examples
Here are some cutaway pictures of the different thicknesses, each
ring is 6mm wide.
Note: 3mm available upon request.
