In 2026, solitaire with a thin band and hidden halo is dominating. Classic prong settings (4 or 6 prong) never go out of style. Bezel settings are popular for active people. Pavé bands are everywhere but pick good prongs or stones fall out.

I always recommend buying a ring sizer from the jeweler for free. Most online stores mail one. Have her try it on casually while she is asleep or distracted. Way better than guessing.
Wedding band width comes down to hand size and style. For women: 2-3mm is delicate, 4mm is classic, 5-6mm is bold. For men: 4-6mm is standard. Wider bands fit tighter, so size up half a size for bands over 4mm.
Simple plain bands can usually go up one or two sizes. Beyond two sizes you risk weakening the band or distorting settings. Thin bands under 2mm are hard to resize at all. Eternity rings and tension settings cannot be resized. Cost is 20-60 dollars depending on complexity.
