So the metal pieces are made from the runes being made in a workshop, with the "rings" being used to hold the whale bone(s) in place while it's engrave-That makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why supernaturally made runes have them too.

I'm aware Bethesda works on a budget, and thus they reuse models, voices, assets and generally everything while still maintaining a sense of freshness, but I can't find a lore-friendly reason for this one outside of supernaturally made runes merely being made by natural means while under supernatural influence. And even that doesn't hold up under scrutiny that much.
