Understanding Jewelry Making And Care

Rings For Your Collection: What Styles You Need

Buying rings is a great way to enhance your jewelry collection and make the most of accessorizing. If you're unsure of what you should buy when you go to your ring retailer, use this guide to assist you. Try to buy at least one style of ring from each category to complete your collection.

Stacking rings

Also referred to as stackable rings, stacking rings are just as they sound. These are thin rings that have similar colors, features, textures, or other complementary designs, and they're intended to be worn together as a set on a single finger.

What makes stacking rings so enjoyable, however, is that they can be separated or stacked with other rings on various hands to make a completely different look. Stacking rings can be worn alone as well for the minimalist look. Your ring retailer can show you stacking rings in various styles to meet your needs. Mix and match or buy them in sets.

Cocktail rings

If you want a ring that is stunning and fun for nights out on the town or to use as a conversation piece in your outfit, cocktail rings are it. These rings usually feature some large stone or other impressive setting and are designed to catch the eye. Cocktail rings vary in price depending on the style you choose and what the stones are made of, so keep this in mind as you go ring shopping.

Simple rings

Every jewelry collection needs simple rings. Not to be confused with stacking rings, which are meant to be worn in multiples to achieve their most-desired effect, simple rings are just that — simple in design and lacking other adornments.

You may find simple rings to just be a silver stamped band, or a plain band in solid yellow or rose gold. If you want a simple ring that is different in its allure, consider elk ivory rings — rings made of the rear teeth of elk — or wooden rings. These rings are charming in their own right and add personality to your ring collection.

Buying multiple varying styles of rings allows you to have the most versatile set of accessories. Measure all your fingers so you buy rings that will fit you. Your ring size will vary from either hand, so make sure to take this into consideration when buying rings for either your right or left hand, or both. Your ring retailer can show you several popular options to help you pick the best rings for your needs.
