Ring in the Season

There’s nothing like a delicate piece of art adorned on your fingertips to make a bold fashion statement. And – let’s be real here – guys don’t usually buy us the rings we’re really longing for. Whether they get caught up on the price, or are completely lost when it comes to fashion, it’s better to leave the shopping to us ladies. This season, take accessorizing into your own hands with the newest cocktail, combat, double, or architectural rings you desire!

Be dazzled while you’re downtown with a unique take on cocktail rings. Take it from Gara Danielle, who takes a vast spectrum of color to intertwine psychedelic style with complete elegance and form the Rainbow Druzy Ring. This 14 karat gold braided ring brings personality to any look. If you’re looking for less tie-dye and more exotic, look no further than the Tigers Eye Dome Ring by House of Harlow 1960. What’s great about this ring is its versatility to transition from day to night (and that doesn’t sound like a half-bad idea!)

Low Luv x Eric Wasson gets your fingers ready for combat in style with the Armor Knuckle Ring. We love the mixture of oxidized metal, studs, and hinges to create the ultimate tough-girl accessory. If you’re less tough, and a little more Aztec, try the Tribal Wrap Ring by House of Harlow 1960. This ring may lack hinges, but is ahead of the game in design. Although this look is hard to pull off, one thing is for sure, if anyone knocks your style, you’re prepared for war!

When we speak of doubles, we aren’t talking about the number of shots in your cocktail. There’s a lot that can be said about a double ring. Some designers take it too far with more of a brass knuckles look, but when done right, is completely chic. Take the Orbital Ring by Tuleste Market for example. This gold-plated, interlocking ring looks less than threatening with its bead center. If you’re looking for a bolder take on the trend, try the Gardez Two Finger Ring by A Peace Treaty. This handcrafted piece was inspired by various cultures and screams luxe!

Lastly, we take a look at a new phenomenon: the architectural ring. Think patterns, layers, new mediums, and texture. The architectural ring is definitely the most artsy and creative of our finds. First, MM6 Mason Martin Margiela creates a resin ring reminiscent of sweet honeycomb. We love the inlaid pattern with the solid, dark roof (hey, we said it was architectural!) If you’re into more metals than plastics, look no further. Our last pick brings art and fashion to a new level. The Deco Ring by Low Luv x Erin Wasson is a textured piece of artsy circles and arrows.

With so much innovation and design in the newest accessories, its hard to pick just one! The trick is to make your prized new ring your focal point with neutral (think army greens, taupe’s, and olives) clothing combinations that can serve as a backdrop. Which ring will you make your Fall statement piece?
