This isn't just a smooth band. The top half is ribbed with a cog-like texture that you can feel with your thumb. It’s a detail that adds a bit of mechanical precision to a very delicate ring.
A slim band of 14K rose gold. The bottom half is polished smooth, but the top half is carved with tight, vertical grooves that catch the light. Right at the top, the texture stops for a single, east-west set baguette-cut zircon. The stone is held by four simple prongs that are part of the band itself, creating a smooth interruption in the ribbed pattern.
We make this from 14-karat solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength. That alloy is what makes the ring strong enough for daily wear, especially for a design this fine. Solid gold won't flake or turn your finger green, and it has a nice weight to it. The stone is a zircon, cut into a clean rectangular baguette shape that gives off clear, sharp flashes of light rather than a scattered sparkle.

You'll choose this ring for its texture. A lot of simple bands are just smooth circles, but the cog pattern gives this one a distinct, almost industrial feel without adding any bulk. It stacks perfectly, but that ribbed detail means it looks complete all on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the cog texture on the Simple Beauty Ring feel rough or snag on my clothes?
No, it won't. While the texture is visible, each ridge is polished smooth so it feels comfortable against your skin and won't catch on knit sweaters or other delicate fabrics. You'll feel the texture, but it won't be sharp or abrasive.
Can I wear my 14k gold zircon ring in the shower or while washing my hands?
Yes, you can. The 14K solid gold won't be damaged by water. However, we recommend removing it to prevent soap and lotion from building up around the zircon, which can dull its shine over time. A quick rinse and dry is always a good idea.
How should a slim band ring like the Cog ring fit on my finger?
A slim band like this should fit snugly over your knuckle and sit comfortably at the base of your finger without spinning too much. You should be able to get it on and off with a little effort. If it slides over your knuckle with no resistance, it's likely too big.
