      Average Ring Size For Men

      Finding your ring size is one of the many essential parts of preparing for your big day. The last thing you want to do is get the wedding band ring of your dreams just to have to send it back for a resizing. Or what's even worse, your ring accidentally slipping off because its too loose.Eyeballing your perfect ring size is definitely not worth the risk, and besides, getting your finger size measured is a quick and easy process that can be done at a jewelry store or at your very own home! But before we go into the nitty gritty of things, let’s start with the average ring size for men and women.

      What Is The Average Ring Size For Men?

      The average ring size for men is either a 9 or a 10

      Ring size refers to the diameter of the ring or your finger diameter. Standard ring sizes usually range from 4 to 17, and come in half increments, meaning that sizes like 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 exist. The common finger size for a man is either a 9 or a 10, but men usually tend to to have a range between size 7 to 14, depending on their lifestyle and size. Men’s common ring sizes are usually a half size larger on the dominant hand, but may vary depending on the desired thickness of the ring.

      What Is The Average Ring Size For Women?

      The average ring size for women is between size 4 to 12, which is smaller than the average ring size for men

      As for women, the average ring size comes in at a size 6, but ranges between size 4 to 12 depending on their lifestyle and size as well. Experts advise that instead of getting a half size larger, that women add quarter sizes to their ring, although half sizes would suffice just as well. Quarter sizes are more recommended, however, because of the potential swelling your fingers may experience during different time of day, different seasons, or if weight changes frequently occur throughout the year.

      Ring Widths Best Suited For Men and Women

      So much goes into the other details of ring shopping that wedding band widths  can be a detail that is sometimes overlooked. Deciding on your wedding ring's width may seem to be a miniscule detail, but is, in fact, one of the very important details that will very much affect the design and the price of your ring!


      Before getting into the details, let’s clear up a few misconceptions! Ring width, ring size, and ring thickness are three very different things. Ring size refers to the diameter of a ring, whereas ring widths refer to how wide the actual band is, and can be seen directly when worn on your finger. Ring thickness, on the other hand, refers to how thick the material is when viewed from the side or profile.


      Now what sizes are most common? For men, ring widths of 6mm-8mm  is the average and the most popular, as it is not too wide, and not too narrow. It’s not an overbearing size and is quite easy on the eyes! It fits just about any type of finger, however, if it isn’t your type, a general tip is to take your ring size and go from there! Sizes smaller than 9 are better suited for narrower bands, while those bigger than 9 are encouraged to check out the wider band types. At the end of the day, it really is just personal preference. If you have slender fingers, a thinner width band may suit you better. If you have a larger size or your knuckle size is big, than a wider band might be right for you.


      Women, meanwhile, usually go for 2 to 2.5mm ring widths, as it is a good size both as a standalone ring, or even as a ring enhancer paired with an engagement ring. It is, of course, possible to get narrower widths, as they tend to make center stones more impressive and appear larger, but wider widths provide more opportunities for other designs and engravings. 


      It is a general rule of thumb that when choosing a width, see how the average size looks on you and adjust to your preferences from there to get to the perfect size! Take note that a wider wedding band will always come out more expensive simply because of the amount of material being crafted. Other than that, remember that there is no secret formula on deciding on a ring width that is best for you as it all comes down to your style and what gives you confidence!
