First, scope out the ring selection and look for one that has rounded edges instead of sharp edges. You don't want your ring to be scraping against the edge of your finger until it's bleeding! Remember this when you are looking at rings with etching, stones, or raised edges - keep in mind that these add-ons could end up irritating your skin.

Next, consider the width of the ring. If you have short, sausage-like fingers, you don't want to chose a ring that's an inch wide - or else your finger will feel like it's wearing a metal turtleneck. Find a ring that allows your knuckles some room to breathe and doesn't hinder the functionality of your hand.

Then make sure you are properly sized. Don't try on your friend's wedding ring and say, "Yeah, that's my size, too." Their ring could be warped or bent in such a way that masks the actual fit size. Instead, visit the jeweler and ask them to size your ring finger. This way, you'll be sure to order the perfect fit.

This is more than just a ring - this is a symbol of your marriage. Take the time to find a ring that suits you best!
