CONTEMPORARY RING
- CLADDAGH RING
- A traditional Irish / Celtic ring design
featuring two hands holding a crowned heart. The
hands represent friendship, the heart represents
love, and the crown represents loyalty. If worn
on the right hand with the heart facing you, it
means you have found your love and are in a
relationship. Wearing the claddagh ring with the
heart facing away from you symbolizes that you
are single and looking for a relationship and
wearing the claddagh ring on your left hand means
that you have found your love are married. Many
Irish women wear the claddagh ring as
an engagement ring , wedding ring, or a symbol of
their Irish heritage. - CLUSTER RING

fashioned together in one setting, or a ring
containing a central, main gemstone with numerous
smaller stones accenting it. - COCKTAIL RING
- Also known as a cluster ring and a dinner ring,
it is a large, dramatic ring that rises

- A ring featuring a design that is up-to-date with
current styles in the industry. What makes a ring
contemporary can be its cut, its setting, its
design, or even the choice of materials its
crafted from. For example, a ring with a princess
(square) cut gemstone is a more contemporary cut
than a classic round cut gemstone. A ring mounted
in an illusion setting or a tension setting is a
more contemporary choice than a classic prong
style setting. Rings made from newer materials,
such as palladium or titanium would also classify
as contemporary rings, as opposed to jewelry
fashioned out of traditional 18k yellow gold or
silver. In terms of design, a contemporary ring
may feature a clean, minimalist design over an
ornate, flashy design characteristic of an
earlier era.

- FLEXIBLE RING
- A floppy, bendable ring made from links of metal.
- nugget rings
- Usually worn by men, these rings are designed to
imitate and exaggerate the look of a raw chunk of
precious metal, usually yellow gold. The metal
constitutes a rough, rocky texture on the surface
of a gold band, but sometimes a nugget ring may
be set with gemstones. Nowadays, a more feminine,
smaller version of a nugget ring is becoming more
common among women. Couples from Alaska and parts
of Canada sometimes use nugget rings as
engagement/wedding/anniversary rings, since the
gold mining industry in that area is such a large
part of their culture. - SIGNET RING
- May also be called a seal ring. A ring engraved
with letters or ones initials. It may also
feature a specific design. A college ring is an
example of a signet ring.
