You have ring size, width, and height. I would like to know which height I should choose for a ring. The options are:

  • 1 mm
  • 2 mm
  • 3 mm
  • 4 mm
  • 5 mm

I do not want the ring to hurt when putting it on and taking it off, but I also do not want the ring touching the other fingers too much. I have larger knuckles, so I want a ring with extremely rounded edges. However, the ring height should be big enough so that the rounded edges are comfortable enough for my big knuckles.

So, could anyone share their experience with ring height, when to choose which height in general situations, and which height to choose for myself?

    I am a man with medium sized hands. I’ve been comfortable wearing my band for almost twenty years, though I don’t feel like my knuckles are particularly prominent. Mine seems to be 6mm width and 1.5mm height and feels neither delicate nor chunky. If you’re specifically going for an extra rounded look and feel, maybe just stay away from the 1mm.

    Really though, if this is going to be for daily wear, buy it from a brick and mortar store that can do a proper fitting, or from someplace that will send you some brass testers or something, if that is even a thing. I know you can do it for eyeglasses.
