A new utility patent is changing how rings are worn on necklaces. The Ring-Out™ Pendant offers an innovative design that keeps a ring in place, so its gemstone or top design faces forward. This solves a long-standing issue in both sentimental and fashion jewelry.
Normally, when a ring is strung on a chain, it flips downward, hiding the gemstone or crest. The patented pendant keeps the ring securely in place, ensuring the top is always visible.
“People want to wear their precious rings close to their heart, but the traditional design makes them hang downward,” said Kevin Amundson of Ren Jord Jewelry. “This pendant turns a hidden gem into a visible centerpiece.”
A Simple, Practical Design
The pendant is designed to fit most ring shapes and sizes. To use it, the ring slides into the pendant, and the user threads a necklace through an integrated loop. The pendant keeps the ring flat and facing forward, making it the focal point.
This makes the pendant perfect for showcasing:
- Engagement or wedding rings, especially heirlooms
- Class rings, which symbolize achievement
- Championship or military rings, which represent honor
- Memorial rings, worn in remembrance of loved ones
The pendant gives sentimental rings new life, preventing them from being tucked away in drawers.
Licensing Opportunities for Jewelry Brands
With the patent now granted, the inventors are seeking licensing agreements with jewelry manufacturers. The pendant can be made from various metals, such as gold, silver, stainless steel, or platinum, and can be customized to match different brand styles. It is designed to hold a variety of ring shapes and sizes.
“This is more than just a display option — it’s a new product category,” the inventor said. “It’s ideal for bridal collections, legacy jewelry, or luxury accessories. The design honors tradition while embracing modern style. It doesn’t overshadow the ring’s story — it just offers a new way to showcase it.”
A Personal Invention with Broad Appeal
The idea for the pendant came from the inventor’s own frustration with how sentimental rings would hang awkwardly when worn as necklaces. That annoyance led to the creation of a simple, functional solution. After months of development and prototyping, the patent was granted.
