Professional Jeweler MagazineSelecting the Most Complementary Hand Jewelry for Your Client By Calla Gold Don't let your customer's feeling that she has "ugly" hands prevent her from wearing rings and bracelets. Intuitively, many of us know what kind of ring looks good on a particular finger. A good intuition is a valuable servant in any jeweler's toolbox. Feelings aside, it's a good idea to know and recognize the specific traits that combine to match individual fingers to corresponding ring styles. Several factors contribute to one ring looking better on a particular hand shape than another. Age Range Age plays a role in determining which kinds of rings look good on which hand and finger shapes. Younger hands should wear smaller rings. Thin bands close to the finger set off the smooth perfection of the skin, allowing the youthful complexion to stand out. Rings with small gems and those with narrow gauges and simple designs are appropriate. They complement the youthful body and the unblemished skin. More mature hands should wear larger rings. As we age, knuckles continue to grow—they take on more personality. To strike the proper proportional balance, the size of jewelry and gemstones worn should continue to grow. |
