What it does
A ring cone is a tapered post that a ring is slipped over, so it hangs at the widest point that fits. It shows a ring the way a finger does, without a finger.
Lacquered wood on a ring cone, specifically
A turned wooden cone is a single piece with no seam anywhere, which is something no covered cone achieves. It needs a soft top facing if rings are pushed down onto it.
Getting the proportion right
Taper angle decides the range. A steep cone takes a narrow band range and holds it high; a shallow cone takes everything but sits every ring low.
How wood display is made
Wood is machined and finished rather than covered, so the shape is cut from solid or from a veneered core and then sealed. That makes tolerances tighter than on a wrapped form, and it makes changes after tooling more expensive.
Where it is used
Counter cases, window centrepieces and multi-ring rows.
Wood under case lighting
A satin-sealed wood surface throws a soft reflection that reads warm, which flatters gold and works against platinum. A matt seal removes most of that and is the safer specification for a mixed-metal case.
The mistake to avoid
A polished cone lets a ring slide down under vibration. On an open counter, a matte or a soft-covered cone holds better.
Why lacquered wood
Lacquered wood display has weight and it makes a sound when it is set down. It reads as furniture rather than as a prop.
Dust dry. A gloss lacquer shows fingerprints under window lighting; a satin lacquer does not.

Frequently asked questions
Can ring cones be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the lacquered wood is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do ring cones come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Taper angle decides the range. A steep cone takes a narrow band range and holds it high; a shallow cone takes everything but sits every ring low.
Is lacquered wood a good choice for a ring cone?
A turned wooden cone is a single piece with no seam anywhere, which is something no covered cone achieves. It needs a soft top facing if rings are pushed down onto it.
What goes wrong most often with ring cones?
A polished cone lets a ring slide down under vibration. On an open counter, a matte or a soft-covered cone holds better.
Can ring cones be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same lacquered wood and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
