Five Reasons Why You Need a Comfort Fit Ring

Wedding planning can feel like a crash course on all things wedding related. From photography formats, wedding dress styles to flowers for buttonholes, it can be very daunting to cut through the jargon and be confident that you are asking your wedding vendor the right questions.

If you are reading this, chances are you have or will be looking for your perfect wedding rings, be they gold, platinum or other materials. You have probably heard the term ‘comfort fit’ or ‘comfort curve’ a few times. But what is it and do you actually need one?

A comfort fit or comfort curve refers to the shape of the inner wall of the ring, or in another words, the part that makes contact with your finger as you slide it on. A standard fit wedding ring has a straight inner wall. A comfort fit wedding ring has a convex inner wall.

It’s such a small detail so do you actually need one? Here are five reasons why we recommend you do.

1. Comfort, obviously

A standard fit often has a hard edge that catches the skin as you slide it on and off or dig into your finger when you make a fist, especially with wider rings. The comfort fit makes the ring slide over you knuckle much more comfortably and once it’s one, it follows the contour of your hand much closer than a standard fit. Wouldn’t you want the wedding ring you wear every day for the rest of your life to be super comfortable?

2. Saves money

The price of a gold and platinum wedding ring is determined by total weight of metal used. A comfort fit wedding ring weighs less than a standard fit ring of the same dimensions. This is because some of the metal is removed to achieve a convex inner wall. More comfort for less money? Yes please!

3. Lower risk of irritation

Contact dermatitis is actually very common especially with a ring that you wear every day. A comfort fit wedding ring has less surface area in contact with your finger which means there is nowhere for moisture and dirt to become trapped against your skin. A comfort fit ring is also much easier to clean after you have been getting your hands dirty.

4. No knobbly knuckles

Ideally, you shouldn’t struggle to push your wedding ring past your knuckle. You should have a little bit of grip over it without being uncomfortable. If you r ring has a hard edge and is too tight over the knuckle, it causes aggravation and inflamation, especially as you get older. A comfort curve makes the ring glide over the knuckle as it doesn’t have hard edges. Your future self will thank you.

5. It’s classy

A comfort fit is not essential. It is an extra step in the manufacturing process that shows a level of attention to detail and refinement to the overall feel and look of the ring.

Regardless of the style of your wedding ring, make sure you look for one with a comfort fit. Conveniently, we have taken all the guesswork out of choosing your wedding ring and offer it as standard on all our wedding rings. Here is to a comfortable, married life!
