When choosing a style, consider the everyday lifestyle of the wearer, not just the desired look. For example, a high prong-set diamond (as seen in Craig's custom designed ring above) can be tough on an active woman's hand. Instead, active types might want to consider a setting that offers good protection for the stone and a smooth surface to avoid damaging or losing the stone and scratching other people.
The size of the wearer's hand should also be considered to select the most flattering style. Keep it in proportion: people with small hands and fingers may look overwhelmed with a huge ring; small rings make large hands look larger.
We agree with TheKnot.com, "Stones set vertically will make a hand seem longer; an oversized, broad ring will make it look shorter; a diagonal design -- or a multistone ring -- pulls the eye across the hand and gives the illusion of greater width. On the other hand (no pun intended), a broad ring can 'rein in' and balance long, thin fingers."
