Big stones are the right match for bigger fingers. With more finger coverage, larger stones can make your finger appear smaller and more proportional, whereas smaller stones might disappear against your finger. 

Rose cut stones and diamond slices distribute their weight over the width of the stone (which is what you see), rather than the depth of the stone (which is usually hidden). These are quick wins to get more finger coverage if you’re on a budget.

Rose cut gemstones don’t have as much weight on the bottom or backside of the stone. So you get more finger coverage for your money. 

Opal is a wild and unique gemstone. With its shimmering play of fire, even on its own, opal can make a statement ring. We have beautiful opal shapes with little to lots finger coverage for a range of drama.

… and make sure the angles are pointing up. Whether you choose oval, marquise, pear or rectangular shape, facing the stones vertically rather than horizontally, will lead the eye looking at the vertical length of your finger. This will help your finger look longer and slimmer. An emerald cut with stripy lanes along its sides can help your finger look more slender.

These hexagon diamonds come in a range of colors. Pick a width that’s not too small on your finger, go for an elongated hexagon shape and have it point up to make your finger look more slender. 

This is another statement ring to wax poetry on! Choose a pear or oval cut, and opt for a stone over a carat. With larger stones, the contrasting color will look more dominant. Choose a prong setting to make your gemstone pop even more.

Although this isn’t a complete no-go, round stones can add a weighty appearance into your overall look. If you love round stones, there are so many ways to navigate through this.

For those who love minimal designs, these rose cut sapphires speak a whole lot, so you can keep the ring itself simple. Included, silky and asymmetric shapes, these Montana sapphires have just enough finger coverage to avoid looking bulky, even with their rose cut’s doming effect. Bonus: ethically sourced. 

Polki diamonds are the older sister of diamond slices. They’re cut by hand and a nice alternative to round stones with their uneven, raw edges.

Any leverage to your stone will help add dimension to your finger. This can be done by setting your stone in prongs, or if you want to avoid snagging or need a little more protection for everyday wear, an open bezel setting will do the job with its extended shoulders. By setting it up higher than your finger, your gemstone will look more prominent, making it the centerpiece it deserves to be. (Read the pro’s and con’s of prong and bezel settings here)

Did you know that the rose cut is one of the oldest cutting techniques? It’s also why it has more shimmer than brilliance, and why it flickers like candlelight. If you’re a lover of rose cut diamonds, amp up its youthful look with a prong setting. Looking for an edgy ring with history? There you have it.  

Brilliant cut diamonds seem made to sit on a throne! Choose larger stones to up the finger coverage. With bigger stones, you can have more flexibility to play with the number and orientation of the claws, giving it more sass and personality. 

The more, the merrier, the better. Larger fingers have more room to play with and you can avoid looking ‘too much’ even if you think you’ve gone ‘too much’. All of these help make the overall design stand out more on your finger, diverting eyes from the finger to the actual ring. Nesting bands help accentuate the shape of the main stone, making the whole look more adventurous and classy. Stack your rings if you’d like to wear your dainty rings all at once! 

For a quick slimming fix, this V shaped nesting band helps alleviate the ‘weight’ of your finger. If you find yourself asking which gemstone shapes are ideal to fit its narrow slope, then our answer is: any gemstone shape will do! Whether it’s a brilliant round cut diamond or a kite diamond, this V shaped nesting band will add sizzle to your ring party. 

If you have a giant diamond ring and want a wider band to match, then this dainty nesting band can make a seamless appearance.
