Gold signet ring.
This ring is usually plain but does sometimes come with a pattern engraved into it. The signet rings can come in all different shapes, square, round, oval, heart shape and even a hexagon shape. The top of the ring is ideal if you wanted to maybe engrave an initial into it.

Named Rings.
These rings make ideal gifts. You are most likely to see these rings with the words Dad, Mum, Nan, or Sister. The rings can come just plain yellow gold or they even come with clear cz stones set into the word and in rare circumstances they can even be set with diamond stones.

Onyx Rings.
Onyx rings are very similar to the plain signet rings. They come in various different shapes, round, oval, square or even hexagon shape. Instead of the top of the ring being plain gold, there is a Black Onyx stone set into it. These stones come with a lovely smooth finish. They are ideal for male or female wanting to wear something simple.

Puzzle ring.
These rings look very attractive. They are mainly worn by males but they do make smaller versions for women. You can clearly see by the image why they call it a puzzle ring. The ring looks like a puzzle, and even all of the pieces come apart so that you can solve the puzzle by putting it back together. They come in 4 pieces, 6 pieces or 8 piece puzzles.

St George ring.
These rings are very popular. The rings look very similar to a sovereign coin ring. The top of the ring comes mainly in a round shape but it can also come in a square or octagon shape. The rings are made to look like a coin so the square or octagon shape rings have the round coin looking shape set into the middle of it. The image on the top of the ring is of St George slaying the Dragon, they are usually plain on the under-side but sometime do come with various other images. These rings are ideal if you want a replica sovereign ring. (See sovereign section of the guide.)

Claddagh ring.
A Claddagh ring usually come in plain gold but, can also come with stones set into the front of it. The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring. The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the city of Galway. The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). These rings make an ideal gift for that special love in your life.

Buckle ring.
These rings come in various different sizes, making it an ideal ring for either male or female. The rings get there name from the way it looks. If you look on the top of the ring there is a buckle image. These buckle images can come as either a single buckle (see picture) or can come with the image or 2 buckles which we call a double buckle ring. There is usually a lovely detailed pattern set onto this ring.

Saddle rings
These rings are mostly popular with the men. These rings come in a number of different sizes but they are usually fairly bulky looking and this is why it is not a popular ring with women. The ring is called a saddle because of the way it looks. As you can see by the picture there is a riding saddle which is very well detailed with rope and stirrups. The ring can come just plain gold or can come with clear cz stones set into the top of it.

Keeper rings.
A keeper ring is said to be a ring which is a ring worn to stop another more valuable ring from slipping off the finger. These rings come with rows of small gold balls. You can get 1 row of balls all the way up to 6 rows of gold balls. These rings can be worn by both male or female and are an ideal ring if you just want something plain and simple, or you can wear it the traditional way by keeping another ring safe.

College ring.
A college ring (also known as a graduate, senior ring, or grad ring) is a ring worn by students in the United States and Canada to commemorate their graduation, generally for a high school, college, or university. These rings come decorated with various different things, usually with the course that the student passed. The original college rings are 10ct gold but nowadays you mainly see the replica 9ct gold rings. These college rings come with different coloured stones. A great looking ring. (See example picture.)

Cameo rings.
These rings are mainly for women but I have seen cameo rings for men in the past but they are fairly rare. These rings normally feature Victorian women's profiles but the rarer cameo rings feature men of power such as kings, nobles and religious figures. The rings are usually set upon 9ct yellow gold but can be set upon 14 or 18ct gold. They are a lovely looking ring.
