So, it’s better to try a few and make sure that your band doesn’t look out of proportion and also provide you comfort.

2)    How well does it fit?

You have to make sure that your band fits your finger properly. It is one of the very basic suggestions that many people ignore.

Make sure to ask all the necessary queries before you buy anything.

4)    Is your band too wide or too narrow?

Any ring covers a certain portion of a finger. Now, if that portion is too wide then you will not able to bend your finger. If the portion is too narrow then there is a good chance that the ring might bend or worse.

5)    The settings of your ring
