Dainty Rings Make a Statement

While we have all gravitated towards statement jewelry because of its large size and stylistically bold appearance, more delicate pieces are beginning to take over and make just as big of a fashion statement! Hopefully you are all familiar with the cocktail ring, which typically features a rather substantial piece of hardware, big enough for anyone to spot from miles away. But, as the saying goes, out with the old and in with the new. It is time for this once-trending accessory to step aside and make way for a variety of more charming and delicate baubles just in time for the spring 2012 season.

Jacquie Aiche offers a fabulous Shell Prong Waif Ring, which costs $315 and features five exquisite shells placed delicately in a 14-karat gold setting. For a less-expensive alternative, try Madewell's Foxtrot Ring, which costs only $15 and features a brass-plated fox head in a vintage gold color.

Chic, charming, and conveniently versatile, feel free to stack these dainty rings for a more eye-catching appearance, or wear one on its own for a slightly more subdued look. Whatever way you choose to wear this delicate accessory, you will surely be making a statement for the fast-approaching spring season.

Rock Icon Rings

If you've ever fancied wearing Elvis Presley, Jimmi Hendrix, or Keith Richards on anything aside from a T-shirt, here is your opportunity. Italian contemporary jewelry designer Manuel Bozzi created three rings to immortalize the iconic rock stars.

The rings feature the musicians in their most memorable and striking expressions, melted down into one detailed ring. “Elvis is portrayed on Sunset Boulevard,” a description of the ring states, “he’s fat, alcohol-addicted, nevertheless already of questionable fame.” The Keith Richards ring “shows his modern mocking sneer, legendary but still modern, with sings of aging, yet increasingly handsome each succeeding year.” Lastly, “Hendrix plays with closed eyes and an open mouth, a victim and executioner of his psychedelic, electric poet.”

The next time you feel like channelling your inner rock god or goddess, throw on one of these rings!
