Design sources & rules

Where every image comes from, what the labels mean, the rules we follow when making from an image, and how to report errors or ask for removal.

Where designs come from

Every design on the site is marked as a factory photo or a reference image. Either way, it can be made in 316L stainless steel.

Factory designsown_sample · own_photography

Designs our factory has made and photographed itself, with moulds ready. No new mould is needed to make them as shown and samples are fastest. Ask about stock to buy samples first.

Reference · sampled from the imageexternal_reference · licensed_reference

Design images collected from public sources or submitted with permission; the original may be gold, silver or another material. We remodel and mould them from the image and produce in 316L. New design samples from US$100, mould included; the cost is credited to your bulk order.

Stock on requestin_stock

Factory designs with stock are marked. Ask about stock to buy a few samples or a small trial batch.

Partner productionpartner_factory

Some processes we cannot do in house, so a partner factory makes those pieces. RingCatalog still sends the quote, and the quote names the producer and who is responsible.

Reference images & IP

Reference images only show the style and help you explain what you want. We handle them by these rules:

  • Source recordedWe record the source of every reference image internally. Source links are not shown on the site.
  • No original brand names or logosDesign names describe the look only, never the original brand name or trademark.
  • Iconic designs only as variationsSignature designs of well-known brands are never made as they are; we only accept clearly modified versions.
  • Your design is made only for youDesigns you send are produced only for you. They are never published or sold to other customers.
  • Rights holders can have images removedWithin 3–5 business days of a complaint, we take the image down, then look into it.

How well it is verified

Structural details on a design page (face, band, dimensions and so on) show how well they are verified. In production, the approved sample decides.

LabelWhat it meansHow you can use it
VerifiedMeasured by the factory on the real piece, or backed by reliable records.Use it directly as a production spec.
From the sourceProvided by whoever submitted it and checked by our editors for contradictions, but not independently verified.Use it as a reference and confirm at sampling.
Visual onlyJudged from the image alone, for example “looks like a bezel setting”.Treat it as a visual reference and confirm at sampling.
UnknownNo reliable information. We would rather say unknown than guess.Tell us what you need when you ask for a quote.

Corrections & removal

If something is wrong, or you hold the rights and want an image taken down, you can report it from any design page.

01

Report

On the design page, tap “Report an error / rights issue” and tell us which design and on what basis.

02

Taken down first

Within 3–5 business days of a complaint, we take the image down (stop showing it), then verify.

03

Fix and record

After checking, we correct or remove it and record the outcome.
