Setting (or Head): This is the component of the ring that holds the main gemstone or diamond. It's designed to securely position the stone and showcase it prominently.
Shank: The band of the ring, which encircles the finger. It's the main body of the ring and can vary in thickness and style.
Shoulder: The part of the ring where the shank starts to widen or change shape as it approaches the setting. It often serves as a transition between the shank and the head of the ring.
Gallery: Viewed from the side, the gallery is the section beneath the setting. It's the "undercarriage" of the ring and can be plain or feature intricate designs.
Bridge: This is the metalwork under the setting that connects the two sides of the shank. It provides structural support to the ring and sometimes incorporates design elements.
