A V, drawn in round gold wire and nothing else. The two arms meet at a clean point at the front of the finger, the section stays perfectly round the whole way, and there is not a single stone anywhere on it. It is the plainest ring in this collection and one of the most recognizable.

The band

The point is where a chevron band is won or lost. Formed carelessly, the two arms meet in a slight flat or a visible seam. Formed properly, the round section carries right through the apex so that from every angle the wire looks like one continuous line that simply changes direction. That is the entire design, and there is nothing else on the ring to distract from whether it was done well.

About the gold

Solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold, or platinum, in the color you choose — never plated, never filled. Higher karats are richer in color and softer; 14K is the usual choice for a band worn every day, 18K for one that is worn a little more carefully. Every band is stamped with its karat on the inside.

About the photographs

The photographs on this page show this band as it is made. Because it is a fixed design rather than a setting built around a stone you choose, the ring you receive matches them closely. We photograph every finished ring and send you those images before it ships.

Common questions

Will the point wear down?
Slowly, and it is the part of the ring that will show it first. Worn daily for years the apex softens very slightly; a bench can sharpen and re-polish it in minutes. This is one of the few band shapes that genuinely benefits from a service every few years.

Does it nest with a pointed engagement ring?
With a pear or marquise solitaire, yes — the V is cut to a standard angle that clears most pointed centers. With a round solitaire it sits at a slight angle, which some people like and some do not. Send us a photograph and we will tell you which it will be.

Do the photographs show the exact ring I will receive?
Very nearly. This is a finished band made to a fixed specification, not a setting built around a stone you choose, so the ring in these photographs and the ring you receive are the same design at the same weight. We photograph every finished ring and send you those images before it ships.

Is this solid gold or plated?
Solid, all the way through, in the karat you select. Nothing here is plated or filled, and the inside of the band carries the karat stamp. A solid band can be polished and resized for as long as you own it, which is the whole argument for buying one rather than a plated ring.
