Considering Ring Silhouettes for Your Ring Selection
About Size of Engagement and Wedding Rings
When you start looking for engagement and wedding rings, you might be overwhelmed by the variety of designs available or find it hard to distinguish the differences. It can be quite challenging to figure out which ring suits you best.
In such cases, it's worth paying attention to the differences in the "shape" of the rings. Knowing the characteristics of each shape can help you during your try-on sessions.
Visual Effects and Design Comparison Based on Shape
＊ Straight ＊
Characteristics: Easy to handle / Minimal visual correction effect
Basic straight rings highlight the presence of the finger in a simple manner.
Because they don’t have a peculiar shape, they won’t interfere with coordinating jewellery or outfits, making them easy to pair with other rings.
Depending on the design, you can enjoy a variety of moods with this accessible shape.

As an engagement ring that will be cherished for a long time, it is widely loved for being easy to wear without growing tired of it.
＊ S-Shape Curve ＊
Characteristics: Elegant / Makes fingers appear slimmer
The wave, formed by an S-shape laid horizontally or diagonally, features smooth curves that lend an elegant impression.
It provides a refined and sophisticated atmosphere, mitigating concerns of appearing childish or having short fingers.
It’s also recommended for men, especially those with knobby or shorter fingers, to create a more elongated appearance.

For an engagement ring, a design that accentuates the S-shape with melee diamonds is attractive.
＊ U-Shape Curve ＊
Characteristics: Gentle mood / Moderate finger lengthening effect
U-shape, where the arms curve downwards, are subtly assertive.
Less pronounced than the S-shape, it doesn’t lean too heavily towards a feminine impression.
Compared to a straight shape, the U-shape naturally conforms to the finger and can also create the effect of making the finger appear longer.
Pairing diamonds with a U-shape creates a form reminiscent of a tiara, offering a charming shape.
Characteristics: Sharp / Emphasizes finger length
V-shape with a clear apex offer a sharp impression.
They have a visual effect that emphasizes length, making them a great option for those concerned about short fingers.
The depth of the V and the width of the ring can alter its ambiance. A deeper and thinner design leans towards elegance, while a shallower and thicker one offers a sense of solidity.
The combination of engagement and wedding rings with V-shapes beautifully overlapping each other exudes a sense of harmonious beauty.
＊ X-Shape Curve ＊
Characteristics: Stylish / Effect of elongating the appearance of fingers
X-shaped rings with crossline resemble the look of a double ring.
They provide a modern impression and a chic mood, making them a good choice for those who find traditional bridal rings out of place.
