Thin Band Engagement Ring

 

The Thin Band Engagement Ring has been one of the most purchased Engagement Rings in the last few years. Many Brides to be are drawn to the design due to its delicate and simpleness but also because its one of the easiest band to match. Whether it be a mismatched look or a stacked looked the thin band makes it quite versatile. The thin band has been seen and looks great with a studded band, eternity with larger stones or a band with a different stone shape.  With the variety of options and the ability to easily add to the set later on down the track many Brides are choosing this design and keeping their options open. 

It’s important to determine what makes a thin band and how it compares to a thicker band. Generally, the average Engagement Ring comes in at a width and thickness of 1.8mm – 2.6mm, the Thin Band Engagement Ring however will be much slimmer on average between 1.2mm – 1.5mm.

This means when considering the Thin Band Engagement Ring you need to ensure you’re prepared for some extra care. Due to the setting these rings are more delicate and can bend out of shape if not properly cared for. I Heart Moissanites – www.iheartmoissanites.com.au and I Heart Diamonds – www.iheartdiamonds.com.au specialize in the Thin Band Engagement Ring and have a great guide as well as recommendations on how to care for your thin band. They recommended that the band in these rings be no less than 1.3mm wide by 1.3mm thick. This will ensure that the delicate band is sturdy enough for everyday wear.

It is also important remember what kind of setting to have with a thin band and how best to accommodate a larger set center stone or diamond set band. Generally a larger stone makes a ring quite top heavy and its important to speak with your Jeweller about the security of that stone. Sometimes a cathedral setting can create a little more sturdiness to the band and therefore make the thin band a better option for a larger stone.

If looking to have a Diamond set band a thin band needs to be especially well thought out. A band needs to be wide enough and thick enough to accommodate setting a stone if the band is too thin the setting can be weak causing stones to fall out and bands to snap.
