What it does
A puck is a low cylindrical seat with a slot across the top. It holds a ring upright at counter level, taking almost no vertical space.
Metal on a ring puck, specifically
A metal puck is a base for a soft top, not a surface in itself. Used bare it will mark a polished shank within a week of counter use.
Getting the proportion right
Puck height decides whether a row of rings reads as a line or as a group. Uniform height reads as a set; varied heights read as a composition.
How metal display is made
Metal display is formed and plated or powder-coated rather than covered. The finish is decided at the plating stage and cannot be adjusted afterwards, so the sample matters more here than on any wrapped material.
Where it is used
Low cases, flat trays and rows where height is limited.
Metal under case lighting
A polished metal display throws hard reflections and will bounce a spot straight back at the customer. Brushed and matt finishes are the usual specification in a lit case; polish belongs in a window where the light is controlled.
The mistake to avoid
A slot cut for one shank width will not hold a range. For a mixed row, vary the slot rather than the puck.
Why metal
Metal display — brass, gold finish, black or silver — gives the thinnest possible support. A metal stand almost disappears, which is the point: the piece appears to float.
Wipe with a dry cloth. A brushed finish hides handling better than a polished one.

Frequently asked questions
Can ring pucks be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the metal is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do ring pucks come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Puck height decides whether a row of rings reads as a line or as a group. Uniform height reads as a set; varied heights read as a composition.
Is metal a good choice for a ring puck?
A metal puck is a base for a soft top, not a surface in itself. Used bare it will mark a polished shank within a week of counter use.
What goes wrong most often with ring pucks?
A slot cut for one shank width will not hold a range. For a mixed row, vary the slot rather than the puck.
Can ring pucks be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same metal and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
