Ring Enhancers

A ring enhancer is an open band that’s designed to wrap around a thinner ring like a wedding band or engagement ring. The ring enhancer encases another ring, adding sparkle and security on both sides of the main ring. Enhancers add presence with gold or platinum construction and added details like diamonds, gemstones, milgrain beading, and handcrafted metalwork.

Ring enhancers are popular styles for added security around solitaire engagement rings and other designs, but they are not an absolute requirement for styling ring sets. As with all kinds of fine jewelry, buying a ring jacket is a personal choice.

Ring enhancers have many names. They’re also called ring jackets, ring wraps, ring inserts, and ring guards. They come in varying designs to accommodate different ring types.

An engagement ring jacket is any large ring that’s designed to wrap around an engagement ring. These enhancers are often curved and styled to fit the most popular engagement ring settings.

Ring wraps and enhancers can fit many rings. If you’d like to add a ring jacket to an existing ring, we suggest measuring the widest part of your ring to see its best fit. You can always visit one of our local jewelry stores to find the perfect pairing.

Ring guards, wraps, enhancers, and inserts serve many purposes. They make engagement rings more secure, add style to the stack and even serve as symbolic pieces. Many wedding ring guards and engagement ring jackets are given as anniversary rings, symbolizing the continued connection between partners.

Ring wraps, enhancers, jackets, and inserts work by adding additional structure to a main ring. Typically, the main ring is inserted into the ring enhancer and both pieces are worn together as one cohesive stack. Most ring enhancers have an intentional gap in the middle of the ring that’s designed to securely hold the main ring. The result is a complete engagement or wedding ring stack that perfectly complements the main band.

The exact design of a specific ring wrap, enhancer, jacket, or insert will determine if it can be resized. There are some rings that cannot be resized, such as rings with eternity styles or certain handcrafted details. Contact our jewelry experts to learn more.

Two layer rings with gaps in the middle are the most popular style for our ring enhancers. These wraps, inserts and guards are most commonly made of 18k gold, 14k gold or platinum. We offer ring jackets and enhancers in white gold, rose gold and yellow gold.

For easy wearing and coordination, it’s best to choose a ring guard that matches the metal of whichever ring you’re stacking it with. This helps ensure both the ring enhancer and the main ring match in appearance and durability.

Ring enhancers for wedding bands, engagement rings and other pieces bring many benefits. First, they add security to standalone rings through insert designs that keep things in place. They also add endless style, with designs that fit every taste. Depending on when a ring wrap is purchased, it can also serve as a symbolic piece that represents an anniversary other milestone such as vow renewals.

It all depends on your main ring and chosen enhancer style. Many ring jackets, inserts and enhancers can serve as wedding rings, perfectly complementing an engagement ring. Others, like simpler ring wraps, can often be stacked with additional wedding rings for a layered look.
