How to describe a ring
Know how to refer to the various parts.
When describing a ring, it helps to know how professional jewelers refer to each part.
The band refers to the portion of the ring that actually wraps around your finger.
The shank can refer to the band as a whole, but it more commonly refers to the portions of the ring that sit on either side of a gemstone. The gallery is the underside of the band and is the portion that actually sits on top of the finger.
