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?

    Hmm, can you show me your ring so that I can see what a 4 mm height ring looks like? I could not find ring heights because search engines indicate width instead, even when I search for height.

      Sorry - got it smelted once I broke off the engagement. I only know the specs because the jeweller annotated them (it was a custom model).

      It’s also relevant to note that 4mm was only at the upper shank - the lower was thinner.

      I could not find ring heights because search engines indicate width instead, even when I search for height.

      That’s because that dimension is referred to by multiple names, including “depth” and “thickness”. I also gave ChatGPT a check to see if it could refer me to links that could help you, but it was also messing up with the dimensions.

      I think that your best bet would be to test it with a jeweller, and see what feels comfortable in this regard.
