Choosing a ring and the shape of your hand – does it matter?
When choosing a ring, size is just one criterion. In addition, personal preferences, style, and budget are important. Although it is worth being guided by taste, by following a few simple rules, you can optically slim or lengthen your fingers, thus emphasizing their natural beauty. Check out how to match women's silver and gold rings to the shape of your hand so that they look their best!
Why does the shape of your hand matter when choosing a ring?
The right choice of jewelry can perfectly complement the look. Putting on a carefully thought-out ring is a great opportunity to highlight all of your assets. The shape of the hand and fingers determines how a specific design, form or model will ultimately present itself. If you want an attractive appearance not only of the hand itself, but also of the entire styling, it is worth using a few simple tricks!
How to match a ring to the shape of your hand?
Every hand is different – keep that in mind when looking for trendy accessories. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect ring!
Rings for slim hands
Slender hands require equally subtle decorations. Delicate, elegant and above all narrow models will be the best solution. Thin rings do not have to be boring! If you like to focus on extravagance in your styling, pay attention to the fine details - on the one hand it can be the corrugated texture of the Bott Mini, and on the other Viva Band Emerald Mini delighting with an emerald enamel ring.
Rings for wide hands
Those with wide hands are recommended to wear massive jewelry that will balance the proportions. These can be signet rings or rings that cover the entire length of the finger, or even rings made of a stone finished with a polish that gives them extra shine.
Rings for small hands
Rings worn on small hands should be subtle to avoid being overwhelming. BonBon natural stone rings with fine details and eye-catching color combinations will allow you to stand out, gaining a refined and perfectly matched piece of jewelry.
What rings make your fingers look slimmer?
To visually slim your fingers, the shape of the ring must be streamlined, slim and oval. It is worth sticking to the principle of "less is more". Minimalism is then a safe and secure solution, and in addition it never goes out of fashion, delighting with its timeless design. However, this does not mean that you should completely give up on all kinds of decorations. Choose narrow models that run along the finger, and if you care about personalization and a bit of color, reach for rings with a single stone, preferably in an oval shape.
The best rings for different fingers
Even though fingers can be short, long, slim or slightly thicker, a ring can look amazing on any of them. Below you will find our guide that will help you achieve a specific aesthetic effect!
Thumb rings
Thumb rings are often wide, solid models that emphasize strength and independence. Every day, especially when doing household chores or other types of activities, functional options, such as a simple wedding ring, will work much better.
Rings for the index finger
On the index square, expressive, decorative rings that attract attention look great. Jewelry lovers can show off their creativity in this case, creating unusual sets or reaching for ready-made sets, e.g. Band Mix no.2.
Middle finger rings
Accessories on the middle finger should help maintain the right proportions. Symmetrical patterns that can support a sense of balance and harmony due to their central location on the hand are a good choice. The simple, yet non-obvious form of the minimalist, wide Viva Silver Maxi ring also makes it easy to match different styles.
Rings for the ring finger
The ring finger is generally reserved for engagement and wedding rings, but the modern approach to fashion allows for a great deal of freedom. Due to the position it occupies on the hand, it is worth remembering that jewelry will be clearly displayed. Depending on the effect you want to achieve, you can choose delicate or extravagant models.
Rings for the little finger
Small, subtle rings for the little finger are a must-have – they should be perfectly matched so as not to cause discomfort and at the same time not to lose your favorite accessory. If you choose a model that is too large and too massive, the hand will look disproportionate.
Inspirations and examples of styling with rings
The choice of a ring can significantly affect the appearance of the hand, adding elegance, emphasizing the shape of the fingers, or introducing a bit of color and shine. There are really many options, so fans of minimalism, as well as observers of the latest trends in the jewelry industry, will find something for themselves.
The combination of enamel rings with classic gold is a great way to create energetic looks. Multi-colored, intense details perfectly complement royal, warm accents, introducing an element of luxury and elegance.

The multitude of available variants makes it easy to match not only individual fingers, but also a specific hand shape. Rings from the Viva Emalia collection vary in color, decoration, form and size, appearing in mini, midi or maxi variants.
Natural stones perfectly complement jewelry, especially silver rings . This cool metal perfectly enhances their color and shine, creating harmonious compositions. The minimalist, wide Viva Silver Maxi model is the perfect choice for people who value modern design and simplicity - it stands out with elegance and subtlety, constituting a strong accent of any styling. It goes great with rings with stones, such as Bonbon Pink Tourmaline Silver. Pink tourmaline combined with two blue topaz is a contrasting and unconventional combination that will steal the hearts of lovers of original jewelry.
