Ring width
5mm wedding rings
A 5mm wedding ring is between slim and broad: 5 millimetres along the finger, about 0.20 of an inch. It suits either partner, with enough presence to read as a band while still sitting lightly. We make 72 rings at 5mm, from £165, most of them in titanium, black zirconium and 9ct gold.
