What Is A Ring Guard And What Are Their Different Styles


Ring guards - sometimes called ring enhancers, ring jackets, or ring wraps - are the perfect way for you to add a personal touch and some glitz and glam to any ring. These tiny beauties also make sure your ring isn’t going anywhere, as they keep it firmly in place - while looking super elegant, of course.

 

Below, we’ll answer some of the most common questions we get about ring guards and help you find the perfect style for you.

 

 

What’s a ring guard?

As the name suggests, a ring guard essentially acts as a guard around your ring to both keep it in place and enhance its beauty. They’re perfect for jazzing up any ring and giving it some flair.

 

Ring guards can feature diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and even pearls. They’re meticulously handcrafted to encase your precious ring with lots of sparkle, and the best part is that they aren’t permanently attached to your ring, so if you ever feel like wearing your ring by itself, you can just remove your gorgeous ring wrap.

 

 

Do ring guards fit any ring?

Ring guards are designed to seamlessly fit around a specific ring you already own. That way, they’ll look like one single, stunning ring.

 

However, that doesn’t mean your ring guard has to be custom-made. In fact, unless your ring has an incredibly unique design, it’s likely a ready-made ring guard will work perfectly for you - especially if you’re looking for a ring guard for your class ring.

 

However, if you’re looking to get a custom-made ring guard, you can book an appointment with Montelongo’s expert jewelers, and they’ll work with you to bring your dreams to life. Learn more about Custom Design here.
