Abstract

A method for configuring a gimmel ring (2) with at least two partial rings (4, 6) interpenetrating each other by means of a twisting area (58), wherein the partial rings (4, 6) are adjustable between a contact position in which they are pressed against each other circumferentially via a respective contact surface (8, 10) to form a common overall ring, and a separation position in which the partial rings (4, 6) are held movably interlocking with exposed contact surfaces (8, 10).The provision is that in a configuration step (SK) configuration data (K) is recorded, which contains design feature information for the respective Gimmel ring (2) to be manufactured, in an assignment step (SZ) model data (M) of the Gimmel ring (2) to be manufactured are assigned to the recorded configuration data (K), and in a playback step (SW) a virtual model (42) of the configured overall ring is displayed on an output device (44) depending on the selected model data (M).
