Choosing your wedding ring is about more than just the metal – the shape of the band plays a crucial role as well. Whether you prefer a classic plain band, a partnered design, a diamond-set ring, or a bespoke creation, Steven Stone offers five popular profiles to suit your style.
The profile refers to the cross-section of the band and significantly impacts the overall aesthetic of the ring. To visualize this, imagine slicing through the band—what you see is its profile. For example, if the inner or outer surface has a curve, it’s referred to as a “court” profile, while bands with flat surfaces and straight edges are simply called “flat.”
With a variety of profiles available, your choice ultimately reflects your personal taste. For women, the profile is often influenced by the design of the engagement ring, creating a harmonious look.
Popular Profiles
Flat Court – When worn, a flat court band features a curved surface that enhances comfort, making it a fantastic option for those new to wearing rings. If you’re seeking a chunky, contemporary look without sacrificing comfort, the flat court profile is an excellent choice. It strikes the perfect balance between style and ease, allowing you to enjoy your ring all day long.
Flat Court Flat Edge – The Flat Edge profile is quite similar to the Flat Court, but it features a distinct flat outer surface paired with a curved inner surface and straight edges. This design offers a sleek, modern appearance while still ensuring comfort on the inside, making it an appealing choice for those who appreciate clean lines and a sophisticated look.
Traditional Court – Traditional court-shaped rings are celebrated for their exceptional comfort, thanks to their gentle rounding on both the inside and outside. This classic design is the most popular choice in today’s market, as the rounded contours ensure a snug fit around your finger, providing the ultimate level of comfort. Whether you’re wearing it daily or for special occasions, a traditional court ring is a timeless option that feels as good as it looks.
Slight Court – The Slight Court profile, true to its name, features a subtle curvature on both the inner and outer surfaces, complemented by rounded edges. This design strikes a perfect balance between modern and traditional, offering a comfortable fit while maintaining a sleek, understated appearance. It’s an ideal choice for those who appreciate a touch of elegance without being overly ornate.
D-Shaped – A D-shaped ring features a cross-section that resembles the letter “D,” characterised by its rounded outer surface and flatter inner surface. This design not only offers a modern aesthetic but also ensures a comfortable fit, making it a popular choice for those seeking a blend of style and practicality. The D shape adds a unique touch while maintaining a classic elegance, perfect for any occasion.
