ring rail

Components of a ring rail

A ring usually consists of three components: the actual ring (called the ring band), the ring head (with the setting for the gemstone) and the gemstone. The ring head is an optional element, because the gemstones can also be integrated directly into the ring band - as is the case with band rings , for example.

The ring rail and its width

The most important feature of the ring band is its width - the narrower it is, the more delicate the piece of jewelry appears. A wide ring, on the other hand, sets clear accents and also offers enough space for individual engravings .

The profile of the ring rail

As far as the profile - the side view - of the ring rail is concerned, there are two basic shapes: with rounded or square edges. These can be modified and varied in many different ways.

The precious metal can be polished to a high gloss or given a matte finish. The ring band is also often decorated with decorative elements made of precious metal or with small gemstones, for example in a pavé setting or channel setting.
