How to Pick a Men's Ring: The Two-Minute Film
Style, metal, stones, and buying as is or custom: the store's two-minute film on picking a men's ring.
A two-minute film from the TraxNYC store on 47th Street about picking a men's ring. Its host, AI Trax, is an AI: Trax built him to explain what buyers ask before they buy, and he says so in the film. Here is what it covers.
What the film covers
- The style. Cuban link, signet, pinky, nugget, wide band, pavé, gemstone, lion, skull, initials: if you can picture it on your hand, it's here.
- The metal. 14K gold for the classic look and lasting value, platinum for the heaviest, whitest ring, and silver for the same look at a fraction of the price.
- The stones. Natural or lab-grown diamonds are both real diamonds; lab costs a fraction, and natural keeps its scarcity. Sapphire, ruby and black diamond are set too.
- As is, or made for you. Your size, metal, stones and initials, or a one-of-one from a sketch. The bench is in-house, so custom is everyday work here.
- Rings sold this year. The Moses Gift Ring, the Golden Jungle Tiger and the Heavy Mayan pinky; and the ones people buy most, the one-row diamond Cuban link and the Da Vinci Lion in silver.
- Then talk to a personal jeweler, on live chat or by phone, to size it right the first time.
