Which height should I choose for a ring?

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?

My wedding band is ~8 mm and i've never worn a ring less than 4 at its narrowest point. I would say just find something you like the look of, and see if you can find something at a jeweller that's similar you can try on if you're that worried about the fit.

I am talking about the height, not the width. What you said is the width, but I want to know the height. So, what is the height of your metal parts in your ring? Here is an image of the three measurements:

I would refer to that as thickness, but I'm not a jeweller. My advice stays the same though, try some on and see what you like.
