Comfort fit is a term used often in online jewelry websites but seldom explained properly. It is term for rounding the inside wall of the ring, particularly pipe cut tungsten bands in order to soften the edges in contact with the finger. This type of mens flat wedding bands feels much more comfortable and it is a great deal easier to put on and especially to take off. One is left to wonder why simple feature as this is ignored by the manufacturers and large portion of the wedding bands on the market are still offered with flat inside wall and sometime really sharp edges. There is a good reason for this; substantial thickness is required to have a wedding band comfort fit. This extra thickness adds considerable amount of extra weight to the band and makes it unsuitable for low price focused designs.

On average 4.5mm wide men`s wedding ring, the additional weight is about 25%. Another decisive factor for the quality of the wedding band is the height of the dome. This parameter adds heavily to the weight and respectively to the price, but on the other hand contributes greatly to the appearance and longevity of the band. Good quality wedding rings have substantial thickness and never go off round in shape. Comfort fit wedding bands have less surface touching the finger thus are less likely to cause skin irritation due to sweat trapped in between. In my long experience as studio jeweler I had many cases of cutting wedding ring stuck and sometimes badly imbedded in the customer`s finger, but not one of these bands was a comfort fit one. I am always recommending this type of wedding band to my customers, use comfort fit on my engagement rings and even on dress rings if the design permits.

The most popular ring is currently the simple but elegant plain wedding ring. What makes this ring so well-liked is the combination of practicality and its evident iconicity as a symbol of marriage and love. Many professions now require individuals to wear simple jewellery, including wedding rings, so as to follow health and safety standards. Hence, many highly qualified employees have shied away from the many complex designs on offer, which are often harder to clean and may have to be taken off in the work place.
