PROFILES:
The profile refers to the shape of the ring. Most rings are approximately 2.2mm in thickness; exceptions are noted below.
Bamboo Band: Bamboo bands are only offered as etched rings requiring a metal combination that contains sterling silver. 4mm to 7mm widths.
Canyon Band: Canyon bands are only offered as etched rings requiring a metal combination that contains sterling silver. 6mm to 8mm widths.
Channel Style Ring: Rails and liner is a one-piece band with beveled sides with mokume set in a channel cut in the middle of the band. 6mm to 9mm widths. Channel rings are approximately 2.4mm to 2.5mm in thickness, with at least 1.5mm thickness of mokume
Comfort Fit Band: Half round band with slightly lower dome than half round bands with dome on inside of ring. Without rails available in width of 4mm to 9mm; with rails available 5mm to 10mm.
Flat Band: No dome, square sides and flat on the inside of the band. Without rails available in width of 4mm to 9mm; with rails available 5mm to 10mm.
Flat Comfort Fit Band: No dome, square sides with dome on the inside of the ring. Without rails available in width of 4mm to 9mm; with rails available 5mm to 10mm.
Half Round Band: Rounded style ring with a slightly higher dome than a comfort fit band and is flat on the inside of the band. Without rails available in width of 4mm to 9mm; with rails available 5mm to 10mm.
Integral Bezel Ring: The width of an integral bezel ring is determined by the width of the stone being set. The width at the top where the stone is set is approximately 2.5-3.0mm wider than the stone being set. For instance since a 0.5 carat diamond is approximately 5mm wide, the top of the band would be approximately 7.5mm in width. The ring is then tapered to a more narrow width as it goes around the band (generally about 30%).
The thickness of the band is also determined by the size of the stone. The top of the band is thicker than normal bands to accommodate the setting of the stone. The thickness of the band is tapered as it goes around the band. Not available with rails.
The size of the stone changes the dimensions of the ring.
Integral Half Bezel Ring: The width of an integral half bezel ring is determined by the width of the stone being set. The width where the stone is set is the same as the stone being set. For instance a 0.5 carat diamond is approximately 5mm wide, making the ring 5mm wide at the top. The ring is then tapered to a more narrow width as it goes down the band (generally about 30%).
The thickness of the band is also determined by the size of the stone. The top of the band is thicker than normal bands to accommodate the setting of the stone. The thickness of the band is tapered as it goes around the band. No rails.
The size of the stone changes the dimensions of the ring.
Three-quarter round (3/4) Ring: Rounder and thicker than a comfort fit band (app. 2.7mm in thickness). No rails; always 3.5mm in width.
or square
in shape that are attached to both sides of a mokume band. Rails can be either made in platinum or in any of the golds we use (except for 22K yellow gold).
Rails can also be millgrained, which requires a liner as well.
Liners are not normally needed for comfort or durability. If you react to sterling silver we would recommend a liner in either gold or platinum. A liner is a thin inner layer of metal that is added to the inside of a ring. Our rings are solid mokume; rings are as durable without a liner as with a liner. However rings made with an iron mokume require a liner; the liner will isolate the iron from the moisture and salts that are always present between the ring and the finger. Liner material can be platinum or any of the golds that we normally use (or sterling silver for the sterling silver and iron metal combination). Liners make it easier to read engraving.
