Rings on Her Fingers


Besides mixing and stacking, I have never considered wearing rings to be a real styling opportunity.  I love a good cocktail ring, but I usually keep my ring style pretty simple.  That is about to change. On the umpteen fashion blogs that I follow, there is one trend that has caught my eye that I can't stop thinking about, involving, you guessed it, rings.

Well, it's actually a two-part trend. 

First, there is the above-the-knuckle ring.  I love this, because you can take a ring that you ordinarily wear on your ring finger, move it over to above the knuckle of your index finger, and voila!  A completely new look.  The style looks amazing when another ring of the same style/size is worn just below the knuckle of the same finger.  I am obsessed!  The ultimate ring designed for this style is the Repossi Barbere.  Unfortunately, it costs an arm and a leg.  I am on the hunt for a knockoff.



The second ring style involves wearing one ring on each of your fingers.  I have been eyeing this Maison Martin Margiela ring set for a while, but a cheaper alternative is buying 4 of the same wide band ring, and creating your own set.



Another option is combining the two styles...why not?  A couple below-the-knuckle rings here, a couple above-the-knuckle rings there, and you have something totally unique and cool.

Everything is Coming Up Roses

I rarely deviate from my yellow gold jewelry, but I am currently craving rose gold pieces to add to the mix.  Rose gold stands out in a sea of gold and silver jewelry, and the finish is soft and pretty without being in-your-face girlie.  My favorite pieces have tough detailing for a little bit of an edge.

I am loving these bold cuffs:

As well as these more punky pieces:

 And these modern necklaces:

Of course, it's hard to beat a classic Tiffany's ring:
