What Is a Wedding Band Profile?

A band’s profile refers to the shape of the ring from the side and the interior against your finger.
It affects comfort, durability, visual thickness, and how the band feels after years of daily wear.

Flat Wedding Band Profile

Flat wedding bands have a straight exterior surface with clean, architectural edges.

Comfort-fit bands have a softly rounded interior that reduces pressure on the finger.
They slide on easier and feel better for long-term daily wear.

Choose Comfort Fit if:

• Your band is 4mm or wider
• You wear your ring all day
• You want easier on/off

For most people, comfort fit is the superior choice.

Profile Comfort Look Best For
Flat Medium Bold Men, modern style
Dome High Classic Everyone
Low-Dome High Minimal Women, stacking
