If you’re soon to be asking your soulmate to spend the rest of their life with you, there is much to consider and no doubt, the engagement ring will be on top of the list. If your partner has chubby fingers, you need to take this into account when choosing an engagement ring, and with that in mind, here are a few styles that work with chubby fingers.
Wide Trinity Style – Typically found in Victorian and Edwardian periods, a thick 3-stone diamond ring works well with larger fingers. Ring stacking is all the rage right now and this chic design is the perfect base ring for a stack. If surprise is not on the agenda, why not invite your bride-to-be to design the ring herself? This is a win-win situation and what woman wouldn’t love the chance to design her own engagement ring?
Broad Diamond Shape – This is perhaps the best choice for thick fingers. You can choose a style from the many fine images of previous projects unique engagement rings Brisbane custom jeweller or the leading designer in your location creates. Best diamond cuts for chubby fingers include the emerald, rose, oval and cushion cut; talk to the custom jeweller about gemstones and cuts to come up with the perfect design.
Go Large With The Central Stone – Whether a diamond, emerald or sapphire, the central stone should be large enough to be in proportion to the fingers. If a top-quality diamond is out of your reach financially, consider a lower quality coloured stone with a high-quality cut and some heat treatment to enhance the colour. If you approach a known custom jeweller with a firm budget in mind, the craftsman can take your concept and run with that to produce the perfect engagement ring design.
Thick Band – Chubby fingers cry out for thick band rings and the custom jeweller can tell you the precise width to suit your hand. The minimum width would be 3mm, with the maximum about 6mm. Of course, the ring should not be tight, especially with chubby fingers, the jeweller can create the right size.
Wide Setting – Of course, a thick band demands a wide setting, otherwise there is no proportion to the ring. Art Deco styles are fashionable today and having a diamond ring made according to an image is always possible. Surf the web and save some high-resolution images that you can send to the custom jeweller, which is all they need to form the basics of a ring design.
Five-Stone Design – A thick band allows a creative assembly of 5 diamonds, the central stone being the largest. Let the jeweller show you a catalogue of fine examples of 5-stone engagement rings and when you see one that ticks all your boxes, that can be the start of the build process. Discuss gemstones, cuts and settings via an informal Zoom call and when the jeweller knows your budget, he or she has something to work with and in no time at all, the final design can be approved and the work can begin.

Many people are still unaware that custom made jewellery is no more costly than regular jewellery, and there’s no better occasion for bespoke solutions than an engagement. You may have no real design in mind and are very open to suggestions. When the custom jeweller takes a look at your bride-to-be’s hands, he can suggest styles and settings based on your preferences.
If your hands swell on occasions, the jeweller will recommend a loose-fitting band that can easily be removed and your future bride will love the engagement ring, of course.
I think that this is a great post. There are a lot of women with wide or chubby or swelling fingers and this will help them a lot.
