Is this ring solid 14K gold?

Yes. It is made of 14-karat yellow gold, so the metal runs through the piece rather than sitting as a plating over a base metal.

What does a cigar band ring mean?

A cigar band is a wide, flat-faced ring named for the paper band on a cigar. It is worn as a statement piece, often on the index or middle finger.

Will a wide band fit the same as a thin ring?

No. A wide band covers more of the finger, so many people size up a half size for comfort, especially in warm weather.

Can it be worn every day?

14K gold is durable enough for daily wear, but the wide face is bulky for typing and gripping. Many owners treat it as a statement ring rather than a workhorse band.

How does it compare with a plain polished gold band?

The quilted texture gives it more visual interest and hides scratches better than a plain polished finish, but the grooves need occasional cleaning.

A wide quilted band is harder to resize than a plain band because the pattern must stay aligned. Ask a jeweler before buying if you are unsure of your size.
