Short Fingers: Create Length

Look for: Oval, marquise, or elongated shapes that draw the eye vertically.

Avoid: Wide bands that cut across your finger horizontally.

Earbij Pick: January Birthstone Ring – The organic elongated shape adds visual length without overwhelming small hands.

Long Fingers: Add Balance

Look for: Wider bands, geometric shapes, or stacked styles that fill space.

Avoid: Tiny delicate rings that get lost.

Earbij Pick: Hedgehog Ring – Bold texture and substantial width balance longer fingers.

Wide Knuckles: The Slip-Through Problem

If rings get stuck at your knuckle but spin at the base:

• Choose adjustable open rings

• Look for tapered designs

• Consider slightly larger sizes with sizing beads

Earbij Service: Free resizing on open end rings. Contact us before purchase.

Small Hands: Proportion Matters

Rings shouldn’t extend past your knuckle or touch neighboring fingers.

Rule of thumb: The ring face should cover no more than 2/3 of your finger width.

Earbij Pick: Torvella Ring – Compact natural stone design, perfect for smaller hands at €75.
