Hello,
my partner and I have been discussing engagement rings lately and I've been lurking on here for a while trying to learn as much as possible. I've recently read some posts about how thin bands can be more prone to damage as opposed to thicker bands (greater than 2mm).
However I would like to know if the size of the finger also has any impact on durability. I have very small hands, finger size 3.25. To me it makes sense that a 1.8mm band would be more durable in a size 3 than say a size 8, mainly due to the smaller circumference size. I'm not really sure why I think that, I guess I just feel like the bigger the ring, the more stress is put on it (sorry if that doesn't quite make sense). I understand that regardless of how big or small my finger is, the thinner the band, the less durable it will be however I just want to know if having a ring of smaller size makes any difference. I am by no means an engineer/jeweller/trades person of any kind and may be completely wrong on this. However I was just curious and would like to know what others think.
prosumers, engineers and Jewellers feel free to weigh in and let me know if i'm right or wrong
