Quick reference

Pick by intent, not by trend.

Width	Category	Compare to	When it works
1.5 mm	Minimalist	About the thickness of a credit card edge	Disappears between other stackers. Easy on slim fingers.
2 mm	Minimalist	About the width of a strand of spaghetti	Common for thin pavé bands and dainty solitaires.
2.5 mm	Slim	About the width of a pencil lead	A small step up from 2 mm; reads as deliberate, not flashy.
3 mm	Slim	About the width of a paper clip wire	Versatile. Pairs with most solitaires without crowding.
4 mm	Classic	About the width of a stick of regular gum on edge	The default men's band width and a substantial women's band.
5 mm	Substantial	About the width of a flat stick of chewing gum	Reads heavier; common for engraved bands and signet pairings.
6 mm	Bold	About the width of a #2 pencil	Strong presence. Comfort-fit profile recommended.
8 mm	Bold	About the width of a US dime	Signet territory. Often paired with broader fingers.

Comfort-fit (rounded interior) reads roughly one millimetre slimmer on the finger than the spec width. We default to comfort-fit on anything 4 mm and wider.
