The Air Force – men and women who soar above us all. They protect us by protecting our skies, in peace and during times of war. We cannot pay them back for all they do, but we can show our thanks in a tangible way – we can give an Air Force ring to an Air Force service member that we care for.
Custom Air Force Ring from $199
Originally a part of the Army (when it was known as the Army Air Force), the Air Force split off from the Army soon after the end of World War 2 and is now a separate branch of the armed forces, primarily responsible for aerial warfare and defence.
Whether they fly fighter jets, transport planes or bombers, whether they serve in logistics units or maintain aircraft, whether they serve during peace or during war, we honour past and present members of the Air Force for their dedication. What better way to show their pride, what better way to tangibly honour their history and the sacrifices they make, than an Air Force ring that is a visual symbol of their skill, their strength of character and their commitment?

Air Force rings can be designed to reflect a person’s service in the Air Force in general – these rings often feature the Silver Star and Blue Ribbons emblem of the Air Force, or they can reflect service in a specific Air Force command, flying group, flying wing or squadron by using that unit’s heraldic coat of arms or crest. They can also be designed to show that a person served during a particular war or series of battles: Korean War rings, Vietnam war rings and Operation Desert Storm Air Force rings are examples. Still other types of Air Force rings incorporate the design of a specific Air Force
combat medal or badge, or a specific rank insignia, into their design.
There are three basic styles of Air Force rings. The first is a somewhat ornate design that is very similar to a school ring or class ring. It usually has a semi-precious gem, crystal or colored stone set in the center. This type of Air Force ring also has several different designs engraved or etched partway down the sides of the band on each side of the central stone.
The second type of Air Force ring is a more streamlined, elegant ring with flowing, “clean” lines. This design sometimes consists solely of engraved or etched precious metal at the top of the ring, but it is sometimes set with a central semi-precious gem, crystal or other stone. The sides of the band of this type of ring are usually not decorated, and the ring
has a strong, masculine appearance.
The third type of Air Force ring is similar to a signet ring or seal ring and utilizes Air Force military coats of arms or insignia as the “seal” at the top of the ring. There is no center stone with this design.
All Air Force rings, however they are designed, can be decorated with beautifully engraved and highly symbolic heraldic crests, shields, coats-of-arms or insignia that are used in the Air Force. Air Force rings are usually made of precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum, and high-quality pieces have intricate detail. If the crest or coat of arms has been
colored by being enamelled, or if the center of the ring is inset with colored gemstones, Air Force rings have especially strong visual appeal.
The initials or name of the person who will wear an Air Force ring can usually be engraved or etched on the band. A personalized Air Force military ring is a uniquely appropriate way to reflect a person’s service, either past or present.
“Above All.” The motto of the Air Force and its proud and faithful members who fly above us every day. Members of the Air Force deserve a uniquely appropriate way to show us their pride in their skill, their history, and their dedication. An Air Force ring.
