What does a cigar ring mean?

A cigar ring is a wide, flat-topped band, named for its broad shape rather than any tobacco use. Here the wide face holds a row of five birthstones.

Can I choose which birthstones go in it?

The ring is built around five birthstones, so the stones correspond to the months you pick. Confirm the month-to-stone mapping with the seller before ordering.

Is white gold the same as platinum?

No. White gold is gold alloyed with white metals and usually plated with rhodium for a bright finish. Platinum is a denser, naturally white metal.

Will a wide band like this fit true to size?

Wide bands cover more of the finger and often feel tighter than a slim ring in the same size. Many jewelers suggest going up a half size for a band this wide.

How should I care for a five-stone ring?

Clean it with mild soap and warm water, and check the settings periodically for loose stones. Have a jeweler inspect the prongs and re-plate the white gold when the finish dulls.
