Larger pieces create an
overall impression of elegance and femininity, which is why women often remount their wedding rings
with larger diamonds on their 10-year anniversaries. The delicate 0.15-ct. diamond originally set in
a wedding ring looked perfect then, but a larger center stone and bigger band is more flattering to a
more mature hand. That's good news for jewelers! |

A narrow ring makes the large knuckles on older hands more noticable.  |

Hand and Finger Shape Those blessed with long, slender fingers have more options. They can wear rings with wide, horizontal styling, large, flat rings, stacking rings, and ring sets. Long vertical designs also look fabulous. • Shorter fingers need more vertical designs. Rings that stand up slightly off the finger produce the impression of length for the finger. Avoid wider rings that completely cover the finger between the knuckles. A gold-intensive design with a bold and definite line would be more effective than a visually busy ring. • Plump fingers look best in rings with angular and asymmetrical designs because they minimize the rounded look of the fingers. • Bony or large-knuckled fingers should be adorned with wide-banded rings with designs or gems on the top. The broadness of the ring draws attention away from the large knuckles toward the beautiful ring. |
