About this design
A fine gold band opens at the front, where a white pearl faces a polished teardrop ball across a 16 mm span.
The pearl end widens gradually into a smooth cup, so the pearl sits low and secure.
At 3 g it is an everyday stacking ring, and the open design means one size fits most fingers.
The sample is 316L steel with 24K PVD gold; steel colour and other pearl colours use the same mould.

Custom orders we have made
- The request
- The buyer chose three designs from our samples, but her customers do not buy open rings. She also wanted a three-ring stacking set split across sizes.
- What we did
- Because the designs already had moulds, we modified them to closed bands instead of making new moulds. One design she sent had a brushed finish we could not match, so we told her before ordering rather than after.
- Result
- The three-ring set was ordered in four sizes (US 8 to 11), with the closed versions of the three designs planned for the next order.
- The request
- The brand needed 8 mm stainless steel outer shells for its smart ring, with a new surface pattern, gold plating with a green colour fill, and its lettering on the shell.
- What we did
- We made a sample first. After review, the green fill was adjusted brighter to the brand's colour reference, the lettering was laser-marked, and an extra ring size was sampled from the same model when the brand needed it.
- Result
- Bulk planned in black and gold across five sizes, followed by samples of three further shell designs for a larger order.

Other ways to fix the stones
Each method changes security, sparkle and cost. Moving off glue setting usually needs a new mould.
- Glue settingThis design
The stone is glued into a cast seat. Lowest cost and fastest; the usual method for fashion steel jewellery.
- Bezel settingTo confirm · usually new mould
A metal rim wraps the whole stone. Very secure and hard to lose, but covers part of the stone.
- Prong settingTo confirm · usually new mould
Metal claws hold the stone, letting in more light for extra sparkle; suits large faceted stones.
- Pavé / micro settingTo confirm · usually new mould
Many small stones are held by tiny metal beads to form a sparkling surface.
- Channel settingTo confirm · usually new mould
Stones sit in a row between two metal rails; smooth and snag-free.
Manufacturing
- Pearl pin must be glued straight and secure
- Slim band must not crack when adjusted
How this ring is made
9 steps from mould to shipping. Your brief above shows which steps your changes affect.
Shaping the ring
- Wax model
Wax is injected into a rubber mould to make an exact copy of the ring. Each design and size has its own mould.
On this ring: One open size fits most fingers, so a single mould
- Casting
The wax copy is set in plaster and melted out; molten steel fills the hollow. This is lost-wax casting.
On this ring: Band, cup and ball cast as one piece
- Trimming
The casting stub is cut off and ground smooth.
Surface & colour
- Polishing
The ring is ground and polished to its final shine.
On this ring: Polished to a mirror finish
- Plating
A coloured coating (gold, rose gold, black…) is applied to the steel. Colour and coating thickness are set here; thicker coatings last longer.
On this ring: Gold-tone PVD plating
Details & stones
- Stone setting
Stones, zirconia or pearls are glued into cast seats. Seat size is set by the mould, so same-size colour swaps are easy.
On this ring: Pearl glued onto the pin in the cup
Check, pack & ship
- Quality check
Each piece is checked against the approved sample for finish, colour, size, weight and stone security. Rejects are reworked.
On this ring: Check the pearl is straight and secure
- Packing
We pack free with your packaging: bags, boxes, labels, sorted by size.
- Shipping
Cartons are marked, listed and sent by courier, air or sea, with tracking.

Before you order
What buyers ask most, and what most often goes wrong later.
Why stones come loose, and how to avoid it
Our stones are glued into cast seats. They come loose when a stone doesn’t fit its seat, or from knocks in transit. Confirm stone type (glass / cubic zirconia) and size when ordering, and ask for a piece-by-piece stone check if you need one.
Will the plating fade? How long does it last?
We use vacuum (PVD) plating, which wears better than standard electroplating. Colour life depends on coating thickness, wear and chemicals. Specify thickness to match your after-sales needs. If engraved or etched text must resist solvents, tell us first.
304 or 316L steel?
316L resists corrosion better and suits long skin contact and sensitive skin; 304 costs less and suits fast-fashion lines. For EU/US markets, 316L is recommended.
Size accuracy and size split
Each size has its own mould, made to US sizing. Give quantity per size and any tolerance (e.g. 7:2, 8:4, 9:4, 10:2). Women’s rings usually run US 6–10, men’s 8–13; other sizes need mould work.
The approved sample is the standard
Bulk matches the approved sample in style, colour, stones and weight. Photos can differ in colour, so confirm key colours on the sample. Samples arrive about 15–20 days after approval, with a 3D print and stone-setting preview; bulk starts after sample approval and deposit.
Which logo method?
Laser marking and etching need no mould change; raised text does. Etching happens before plating. Send your logo file, position and size. From US$300.
Is the motif sellable in your market?
Some motifs (e.g. snakes, religious symbols) are restricted in some countries or platforms. Tell us where you sell and we’ll flag risks first.

Can I order this design with my logo?
Yes. Laser or etched logo on orders from US$300. Send us your packaging and we pack it free, or we can recommend a supplier.
Is the ring adjustable?
Yes. It is open at the front, so one size fits most fingers and no size split is needed.
Can we use other pearl colours?
Yes. Pink, grey or black pearls of the same size use the same mould.
Will the pearl come off?
The pearl is glued onto a pin inside a cup, which holds it from below and the side. The approved sample sets the standard.
What is the sample made of?
The sample is 316L stainless steel with 24K PVD gold plating, about 3 g. Material, plating and colour can be re-specified for your budget.
Can it be made at a lower cost?
Choose 304 steel, and order fewer colours with more pieces per colour. Laser logos add brand identity without mould costs.
