Abstract: A ring system may include a band; a stationary arm coupled to the band, the stationary am including a first annular end; and a pivotable arm pivotably coupled to the band, the pivotable arm including a second annular end, the pivtotable arm being transitionable between an open position and a closed position relative to the stationary arm, wherein the first and second annular ends form an annulus when the pivotable arm is in the closed position, the annulus being configured to releasably secure a portion of a tiffany setting ring therein.

Abstract: A ring system may include an outer band including a first ring and a second ring, the second ring including a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion being pivotable relative to the lower portion; wherein the outer band is configured to receive a ring band between the first and second rings, and wherein the outer band is transitionable between an open condition in which the upper portion is angled relative to the lower portion of the second ring and a closed position in which the upper portion is and the lower portion form a closed annulus.

Abstract: An customization system and method in which a user can establish user indicia content, such as an image or text (e.g., a map, picture, address, name, etc.), onto a user selected indicia surface of an item or product, such as an item of jewelry or textile, and then view the customized product before purchasing the customized product. The item of jewelry may be selected, design, viewed and ordered or purchased automatically through the computer interface where the user interface and indicia designation creates both a visualization mask and indicia manufacturing designation code without further operator input. Such an automated system and method may include a selection module, a design module, an editing module, and a purchasing module for allowing a user to design and purchase an customized and/or personalized jewelry item having a unique engraving such as a map of a significant location with a gem stone as the specific identifying marker all according to a consumer's input.
