When shopping for your engagement ring, here are some tips to keep in mind if you have short, thick fingers:
The trick is to provide coverage for your finger, so opt for a suitably sized gemstone or ring setting. Think wider settings that show less skin because if there’s too much skin visible on either side of the ring, it’ll just make the ring look small and your finger look much wider than it is.
Slightly thicker bands will stand out better on your finger than very thin bands. Namun, if the band is too thick, it can emphasize the chubbiness and width of your fingers. Find the right balance that works for your fingers.
Avoid square designs and gemstone cuts as these can emphasize the stubbiness of your fingers. Alih-alih, opt for cuts that tend to elongate the fingers, like marquise, pear or oval. These can be set either horizontally or vertically but either way will provide a beautiful aesthetic.
The round diamond cut is neutral and tends to flatter any finger shape, which makes it ideal if you want a traditional, classic style.
