If You Like It Then You Should Put A Ring On It

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.

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.

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.

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.
