In this lesson, you will explore three fundamental styles: the sleek flat shank, the classic half-round, and the distinctive knife edge, each with its unique characteristics and comfort considerations. Guided exercises will hone your skills, teaching you to draw these styles with precision. The lesson also unveils the broader band types available in CAD and CAM designs. By understanding the visual cues that define a ring’s shape, and practical elements like optimal ring widths for wearability, you’ll build a solid foundation in ring design. Whether you’re interested in hand drawing or digital design, this lesson serves as an enriching starting point, inspiring you to experiment once the basics are mastered.
