Quiz! Which ring suits your hand shape?

EARTH HANDS - ORGANISED AND PRACTICAL

You’re the sort of no-nonsense bride who’s already well on her way to a perfectly organized wedding. You have simple, elegant tastes, don’t like lots of frills and fuss and your big day is going to reflect your love of clean and classic styling. Your wedding band should be something timeless with a modern twist. Avoid anything too delicate and dainty; a heavier, more solid design may suit you better. The chances are you'll have square-ish palms and fairly short fingers, so try to keep the height of the ring a quarter of the distance between the base of your finger and your knuckle. Try a bezel-cut gem (where a collar of platinum wraps around the stone) to slim and lengthen your fingers or a simple platinum band for understated elegance. Its purity means it is hypoallergenic too.

FIRE HANDS - ADVENTUROUS AND FUN

You see life – and your wedding - as a real adventure and love finding the fun in everything. You’re at your best when you’re centre of attention and people are drawn to your can-do attitude. So a dynamic ring with lots of personality is perfect for you. Go for angular rings with pointed shapes and a bold gemstone to flatter your fingers which are likely to be the same length as your palm, which is more rectangular than square. Create maximum sparkle with a matching eternity ring in enduring platinum that highlights your stone to its glittering best.

WATER HANDS - FRIENDLY AND FEMININE

We bet you’ve been a bridesmaid countless times because you’re a fab friend. A real girly girl, you’re thoughtful and caring and want to fill your wedding with romance as well as making it the perfect party for all your guests. Your day will be full of pretty, feminine touches and your wedding band should reflect your love of dainty detail. You'll probably have slim fingers with a middle finger as long as your palm so steer clear of chunky designs and go for a slim band or even layered, interlocking bands. Choose a small, discreet gemstone, like a single solitaire, and display it in a flush cut, to show odd your slender fingers. Make sure you plan for platinum wedding bands as not only is that the metal of choice amongst fashionistas, but it has enduring popularity.

You want to make a statement with wedding bands and with your slender fingers and square palm, you can easily carry off elaborate and intricate designs.
