    The bf and I are looking at rings so he can get some ideas of what I like.  I fell in love with this bridal set at the store.  The halo and round diamond are strategically balanced in the original prong on the center e-ring to give an idea of what it would look like so that is why it is off-kilter! I don't know how many mm wide each of the bands are (didn't even think about that at the time). Now that I'm looking at the picture we took I'm wondering if the ring is too wide. My ring size is a 6.5 and the one in the picture is a 6 so it's noticeably too tight.  I'd love to hear your opinions!!  Thanks in advance!

    The ring looks like it's sitting really high on your finger - is that the way you like to wear rings, or is it because it's too small? I think that could definitely be throwing it off.

    I think the rings are gorgeous though. Maybe look into the side rings being slightly smaller, and it would be perfect. But it's not by any means "too wide" for your finger.

    I think once it fit correctly it would not look too wide... although "too wide" is kind of a matter of preference. :)

    I think this ring set is gorgeous!  Once it it the proper size, it will probably sit a bit lower on your finger, which will make a difference.  If you don't think it is too wide, then it isn't too wide.  Some ladies like thinner bands, while others like thicker styles, so it is really whatever you like the best!

    Absolutely gorgeous rings!!! I think it'll look perfect once it's sized. Definitely not too wide or too much. :)

    Thanks so much!!  You've eased my mind!  It will look better once its my size. (and once my finger isn't abnormally swollen from trying on too-small rings for 2 hours! Smile)

    My engagement ring and wedding ring will end up taking up that much of my finger and at first I thought the engagement ring was rediculous. After a day or two of wearing I got used to it and realized I was just used to having a much narrower ring on that finger (~5mm at widest compared to 1-2mm). There's an adjustment period but I don't think the ring is too wide at all.

    I used to wear a much narrower ring on my finger and my engagement ring is considerably wider but not ridiculously wide. It took some getting used to. You are probably used to seeing much thinner bands. The ring doesn't look bad on your finger you probably need a larger size though. 

    And if you love it, who the heck cares?

    I think it looks fine, just needs to rest down a bit.

    Firstly, that set is absolutely stunning!!!

     

    I don't think it is too wide for your finger. It's what you are comfortable with though. Mine will be about that width with all of my rings, which I know will take some getting used to.

    I agree that "too wide" is a matter of preference. I like my bands thinner, but some people like them wider.

    Beautiful rings by the way!
