Types of Rings: A Guide for Every Style

Sozanne Li –

Rings are among the most versatile and expressive pieces of jewellery. From simple bands to statement-making designs, the right ring can elevate an outfit, mark a personal milestone or become a signature piece in your collection. This guide covers the main types of rings, their styling possibilities and tips for building a timeless collection.

Band Rings: Simple, Elegant and Versatile

Band rings are the foundation of any jewellery collection. They consist of a circular band, also called the shank, which can be simple or decorative. Band rings can be:

  • Plain bands – minimal design, perfect for everyday wear. One example from our collection is the Elena Dome Ring, which features a smooth, elevated profile for a subtle yet refined look.

  • Textured or twisted bands – add dimension without being overly ornate. The Fine Twisted Ring demonstrates how a simple circular band can be transformed with texture.

  • Stackable bands – thin and wide bands worn together create layered looks. The Bonnie Double Band Ring offers a double-width design ideal for stacking or wearing alone.

Band rings can be worn on any finger and styled alone or combined with other rings for a curated look.

Signet Rings: Timeless and Personal

Signet rings are a classic jewellery style that has been adapted for modern wearers. Traditionally used for engraving or heraldic symbols, today’s signets can feature:

  • Plain fronts – sleek, understated statement rings. Try the Classic Gold Signet Ring for a versatile piece.

  • Engravings – initials, monograms, or personal designs. 

  • Gemstone accents – subtle or striking stones on the front face. The Lana Stone Signet Ring pairs elegance with colour, while the Starlight Ring offers a refined, subdued look.

Signet rings work as statement pieces on their own or layered with band rings for a curated style.

Gemstone Rings: Colour and Expression

Gemstone rings add vibrancy and personality to any collection. Options include:

  • Cluster rings – multiple stones grouped at the centre for a striking effect. The Lana Stone Rings are perfect examples.

  • Full band gem rings – stones encircling the band create sparkle all around. The Anna Gold Baguette Ring features Cubic Zirconia gems around the full circumference.

  • Subtle gemstone accents – small stones along the shank add delicate colour. The Ava Bamboo Ring incorporates textured detailing with sparkling CZ gems.

Gemstone rings are timeless and can be styled for everyday wear or special occasions.

Statement Rings: Bold and Sculptural

Statement rings are designed to stand out. For timeless impact:

  • Oversized bands – thick, sculptural rings that draw attention.

  • Organic shapes – fluid, asymmetrical designs like the Anaya Ring for a contemporary look.

  • Mixed metals – combining gold and silver adds modern contrast.

Statement rings can be worn solo for maximum impact or layered with other rings for a curated hand stack.

Adjustable and Cuff Rings: Flexible Styling

Adjustable and cuff rings offer versatility and comfort. Key features include:

  • Movable designs – fit multiple fingers or adapt to changing sizes.

  • Bold textures and shapes – chain links, ridges, or smooth sculptural lines. The Callie Cuban Adjustable Ring features a statement chain cuff with a large emerald-coloured gemstone.

  • Curated layering – combine cuff rings with band rings and signets for a personalized stack. The Eve Adjustable Snake Ring and Ria Cuff Ring are perfect for experimenting with different finger placements.

  • Adjustable rings are ideal for everyday styling or creating layered, expressive looks.
