I’m all about the statement ring.
I never leave the house without some bold bauble perched on the middle finger of my right hand, and over the years I’ve amassed quite a collection of dramatic digital decoration. (I blame my mother, who gave me a stainless steel and stone ring about 15 years ago, propelling me towards my ring-obsessed destiny.)
But last weekend I found the ring – actually two – that have since become the crown jewels of my collection. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Exhibit A:
I scored this Kenneth Jay Lane beauty at Saks Off Fifth at Orlando’s Prime Outlets, marked down to $40 from a whopping $90. People have told me it looks like a TV screen, candy, or a weapon, but to me it just looks like ten types of awesome rolled into one. And I love the nifty adjustable doohickey inside, which allows it to fit fingers sized 6 to 9 – why don’t all rings come with these?) I love this beauty so much that it brings me a little frisson of pleasure every time I look down at it on my hand (at least 1,000 times a day). And I love it so much that I couldn’t resist buying its “sister,” Exhibit B:
I’ve been lusting over this ring ever since I spied it in a fashion feature in the latest issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. Come on, who wouldn’t be enchanted by it’s turquoise and coral loveliness? KJL’s website is for wholesalers only, so it took me a lengthy Google Images search before I found it, for sale only on this website. The list price was more than I wanted to spend, but with a quick “Revolve Clothing coupon” search I snagged a 30% discount on all first-time orders. Score!!
Are you ring-crazy, too? Do you hoard handbags? Have you run out of space for your shoes? Or are you enslaved by some other accessory addiction? Confess your sins (and share your sources) in the comments.
