Designer Ring Jackets: The Latest Trend for your Wedding Ring 2025
At Fogal and Barnes, we're seeing a surge in popularity for ring jackets - the clever jewellery enhancement that can completely transform your engagement ring. Today, we're showcasing one of our favourite bespoke creations: an Art Deco-inspired ring jacket designed for a stunning trilogy emerald-cut diamond ring.
What Is a Ring Jacket?
A ring jacket is a specially designed band that fits around your existing engagement ring to enhance its appearance. Think of it as a sophisticated frame that can add sparkle, size, and style to your original ring while protecting it.
How Does a Ring Jacket Work?
Ring jackets are crafted with a gap or channel that allows your engagement ring to slip perfectly into place. Our master jewellers carefully design each jacket to:
- Perfectly contour around your existing ring
- Secure firmly in place
- Create a seamless, unified look
- Allow for easy removal when desired
Why Choose a Ring Jacket?
There are numerous reasons why ring jackets are becoming increasingly popular:
- Versatility: Wear your engagement ring with or without the jacket
- Cost-effective: Add impact without replacing your original ring
- Protection: Additional support for your centre stone
- Customisation: Transform your ring for special occasions
- Heritage: Keep your original ring while updating its style
How Much Does a Ring Jacket Cost?
At Fogal and Barnes, bespoke ring jackets typically range from £1,500 to £5,000+, depending on:
- Design complexity
- Metal choice
