""I don't like super-thin bands personally because sometimes they're not sturdy," Jay told Business Insider. Although thin bands create a sleek look and can make a stone look bigger, they aren't supportive, particularly if your ring has a large stone. "When you have a larger stone on the top, it becomes top-heavy, so it'll constantly be spinning," Jay said. They can also bend with use and might need more prongs to keep a stone in place since there is less base support."
"Jay said it's better to get a slightly thicker band so the ring will last. Plus, the increased width likely won't be noticeable to the naked eye. "A matter of tens of millimeters makes a huge difference," Jay added. Less bling is sometimes better Jay said another impractical engagement ring style that has become popular in recent years is a U-prong eternity band, sometimes called an infinity rin"
Engagement rings are worn daily and must be designed for durability as well as appearance. Ultra-thin bands can be unstable: they may bend, provide less base support, and cause larger stones to become top-heavy and spin. Thin bands often require additional prongs to secure a stone. Slightly thicker bands significantly increase longevity while typically remaining visually similar. U-prong or infinity-style eternity bands are a popular aesthetic choice but can be impractical due to durability concerns for everyday wear.
