Three styles for women Chiefs

We make the original Chief's ring in a women's size, and two more feminine designs in which the band sweeps around the fouled anchor. Women's versions are typically smaller, lighter and less costly than men's.

For a Chief's spouse

For a spouse we suggest the original style or Style 2, with an added 18k yellow ribbon, an 18k candle and flame, or both. The Chief's emblem can also be made as a two-tone 18k pendant in a small or medium size.

In their own words

“It IS beautiful.. I locked the hubby out of the bedroom so I could stare at it and try it on... Lol!!! Carol did an amazing job!!!!”
Amy — Female Chief ring
“This was a retirement gift to myself and when it came in the mail, I was shocked at how beautiful my ring is. The on-line photographs just don't do it justice! I am so proud to wear it on a daily basis. It is a reminder of 22 great years as a Hospital Corpsman. … I would recommend this to all my fellow CPOs! NAVY CHIEF, NAVY PRIDE!”
HMC Deborah K., Ret. — CPO ring, a retirement gift to herself
“I LOVE my ring!! Its beautiful the hard work and precision are visible in every detail!”
ADC(AW) Claudia Z. — CPO ring

Questions, answered

How do the men's and women's versions differ?

Women's versions are typically smaller, lighter and less costly.

Is there a ring for women Chiefs, or a pendant?

Yes. The female Chief ring is made in three styles, including two more feminine designs, and the Chief's emblem is also made as a pendant in two sizes.

What is the difference between the Basic, Standard and Premium Limited editions?

Only the gemstones. The Basic Edition has none. The Standard Edition uses lab-grown stones, the best that can be made by man. The Premium Limited Edition uses natural, matched stones of the highest grade, which carry a substantial premium. Otherwise the rings are identical.

How long does a ring take?

Our most recently stated lead time is four to six weeks; at busier times we have quoted six to eight. New badges and insignia take longer. Please order well ahead of your date; we can occasionally accommodate a rush.

How is payment handled, and what does it cost beyond the ring?

We accept personal check, bank wire and PayPal. There is no charge for checks or wires; checks need time to clear. PayPal fees are passed on at our cost, and credit card transactions carry a 2.5% charge. There is no sales tax in Oregon. Earlier price lists included USPS Registered Priority Mail; the most recent lists shipping and insurance separately.
