According to their shape, jade ring faces can be divided into three types: plain, carved and designed . Generally speaking, the materials used to make ring faces are of very high quality, so out of the principle of cherishing materials, plain surfaces are the most common form of jade ring faces , which can be further divided into round, oval, saddle, marquise, geometric shapes and so on.

Plain noodles

1. Round & Oval

As the name suggests, the round ring face appears to be a perfect circle when viewed from the front; the oval ring face is slightly flatter, but more streamlined. The oval ring faces of a few Burmese craftsmen are even more slender and almost strip-shaped.

From the appearance point of view, round and oval ring faces are particularly full and beautiful, so they are also called egg-shaped . The proportion of their size and thickness is very particular, which can maximize the transparency and light perception of jade. Therefore, many top-level jade rings often come in these two shapes.

At the same time, this perfect shape fits the Oriental people's yearning for happiness and auspiciousness very well, so it has always been the most classic and traditional style. Of course, it is also very versatile and suitable for everyone.

2. Saddle & Marquise

These two forms of ring faces are also relatively common. The saddle shape is overall long and narrow, resembling an ancient riding saddle, and thus naturally carries a masculine and gentlemanly feel. It is one of the few jade ornaments suitable for men to wear, and the saddle represents peace, so it also has the meaning of peace.

The marquise shape is named after its shape which resembles a horse's eye, with a bulge in the middle and pointed ends. It is also called the olive shape. It has very beautiful streamlines and is particularly suitable for modifying the shape of fingers, making them look more slender and elongated.

3. Geometric shapes

Geometric jade ring faces are relatively rare, including all geometric shapes except circles, such as squares, diamonds and other polygonal and multi-faceted shapes. This type of ring face is more three-dimensional and more unique, and is very suitable for young people to wear.

Carving

In addition to plain faces, many small carvings are also used to make ring faces. Simple ones include peace buckles, gourds, and beans, and complex ones include Buddhas, Pixiu, etc. This type of carved ring faces often has very auspicious meanings and is also beautiful.

Design

Unlike other ring faces that are simply made of jade and precious metal inlays, designer ring faces are more design-oriented. Most of them use small shapes, small egg-shaped shapes , such as butterflies, crowns, lion dances, etc. The style is more fashionable and more suitable for young people.

Generally speaking, the jade material that can be used as a ring face is usually the best part of the original stone. Therefore, when purchasing a jade ring, you should observe whether the jade is transparent, whether the color is pure, whether there are cracks or defects, whether the ring size is suitable, whether the craftsmanship is excellent, etc.

As for the shape, different shapes of ring faces have their own different aesthetics. As long as you like it and it suits you, you can try it out~
