5 Beautiful Engagement Rings for Small Hands
If you’ve got small mitts, you might find sizing jewelry to be a bit of a challenge. On one hand, pun not intended but inevitable, smaller fingers can really make a more subdued rock pop, which can be a great asset. On the other hand, something too large or too heavy can feel uncomfortable and look visually overwhelming. Landing on the perfect ring for small hands really comes down to finding that perfect medium between big and small. But don’t stress, because we’re here to help with a great selection of pretty and affordable engagement rings!

Some metals are heavier than others, so make sure to keep this in mind while ring shopping. Opt for a sterling silver or titanium ring, as these are among the lighter precious metals used in jewelry.
