There are some things in life that are really hard to find. Like a Glasto ticket, a good quiche (just us?) and eternal love, sassy rings can be really hard to find. We tend to turn to the same roster of jewellery stockists and are often left with a monstrous £4 result that turns our fingers greener than Frankenstein’s monster mitt.
So we’ve gone all out and frisked the internet for you, in search of good rings. Here are 10 of them.
Sharpen your claws
Ultra hip US ring purveyor Verameat are the queens of edgy stacking rings. Think teeny hugs, skulls, cats and claws. This statement Dino Claw is very high-end looking, but with a very reasonable price tag.
Dino Claw Hugs, £48, Verameat
Lady Sovereign
Please forget what you thought you knew about signet rings. They can be pimping – especially when they’ve got a sexy cut-out. Borrow from the boys and look as swish as a wax sealed letter.
Chain-Imprint Sovereign Ring, £170, Maison Martin Margiela
Finger friends
We can't resist a 2-for-1. Especially when it's two Chloé rings, interconnected like very chic Gallic amies.
Carly Gold-Tone ring, £160, Chloé at Net-a-Porter
Look expensive on the cheap
This gold swirly ring looks like it could be Balenciaga – but it’s not! Whoop, etc. Which means that when you fling it across the room whilst telling an elaborately demonstrative story, you’re not going to cry when it ends up in someone’s pint.
Chain Linked Swirl Ring, £6.50, Topshop
Lady Medusa
Channel Ozzy Osbourne with a serpent on your pinky. Totally badass, we promise.
Silver Snake Ring, £208.16, Zoë Chicco at Far Fetch
WKD knuckles
Expensive, sure – but you get four rings! You’ve probably seen the gold Maison Martin Margiela knuckledusters on a sassy lady or ten. But have you seen the metallic teal ones? Like WKD was poured across our knuckles and turned into the coolest bunch of rings we’ve ever seen. Do it. Alcopop finger armour all the way.
Four Knuckleduster Rings, £245, Maison Martin Margiela at Liberty London
Fly me to the moon
Who can resist a moonstone, the stuff of our nine-year-old dreams? (We had to plump for a mood ring instead, which stayed permanently black because our mum wouldn't buy us the moonstone. Fair enough, really.) As recompense, treat yourself to ultra-cool US jeweller Pamela Love’s chunky moonstone and brass ring.
Sunset Ring In Brass, £84, Pamela Love
Art deco
Can’t you just imagine Cate Blanchett in this? Minimalist, bold, strong – we like this Balenciaga lady a lot.
Round Slice Ring, £175, Balenciaga.
Cute kitty
Another piece of brilliance from the US (honestly, it pays to look at the jewellers across the pond), Catbird’s extensive collection ranges from diddy little pinky rings to bonafide vintage engagement rings. In case, er, he really does want to want to put a ring on it and whisks you over to the Big Apple to do so. They describe this little rose gold one as ‘a little tough, a little tender’. Works for us.
Yayoi Forest Open Arrow Ring, £79, Catbird NYC
He’s your lobster
We totally agree with Phoebe Buffay: everyone needs a lobster. So here’s yours. And he’s a kitsch little mite, who’ll put a smile on your face.
Enameled Gold Plated Lobster Ring, £140, Virzi+De Luca at Net-a-Porter
