Abstract

The instant invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a wedding ring which can be positioned close to an engagement ring. The wedding ring has a flange which can fit under the precious or semi-precious gem stone of an engagement ring to allow the two rings, the engagement ring and the wedding ring, to be positioned close to each other. The flange can be on either one or both side edges of the wedding ring, and can encircle the wedding ring to allow it to rotate relative to the engagement ring and still allow the rings to be close to each other. In another embodiment, the flange can have a notch to provide a space into which the gem stone can fit to allow the rings to be positioned close to each other. In the embodiment where there is a notch in one of the flanges, the wedding ring can have either a single flange on one side of the ring, or it can have a flange on each side of the ring.
