Rock Your Wardrobe With a Gorgeous Right-Hand Ring
Can't decide what pair of earrings to wear? Not sure if a necklace will complete your outfit? Forget those and think right-hand ring. Right-hand rings add a kind of spontaneous glamour and energy to nearly any outfit. Meant to be large and dramatic, right-hand rings, or "ravishing rocks" as they've become known in the fashion world, are a dramatic way to notch up your inner fashion diva instantly.
History of Right-hand Rings
Right-hand rings (aka "cocktail rings) first came on the scene in a big way during the U.S. prohibition. Women wore these bodacious designs to illegal cocktail parties. These flashy, colorful rings flaunted the fact that the women were drinking illegally. Their bold styles became a symbol for the women who wore them. The rings continued their popularity into the 1940s and 1950s.
Always trendsetters, celebrities have made the right-hand ring an especially hot fashion accessory, especially with large diamond and gemstone creations at events such as the Oscars or Emmys. Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchette, Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, and Catherine Heigl are just a few of the endless celebrities rocking the red carpet with beautiful creations. With simple earrings, and no necklace, right-hand rings often are enough accessory to create a dramatic entrance. With the passing of the huge handbag trend, the right-hand ring has replaced it as the go-to accessory. And while top fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel offer their versions, thankfully right-hand rings can easily be found in fun and engaging designs nearly anywhere.
How to Wear the Look
Most women wear the right-hand ring on their right ring finger, however they also look chic worn on the index finger as well. The bigger the stone, the better, as the right-hand ring is mean to be an attention-getter - opulent and overdone. However, those with small hands can do the look without looking silly by choosing rings that extend no farther than the bottom knuckle. Most rings sport a large central stone set on its own or surrounded by smaller, sometimes contrasting, colored stones.
Turquoise is simply fantastic in a right-hand ring and stands out on any skin tone. Styles range from 70s-disco-era-fun with a giant stone trimmed with etched feathers and flowers to a more formal turquoise enamel and crystal square ring with gold.
Playing off one of the spring's most popular colors, a purple cubic zirconia (CZ) right-hand ring featuring an emerald cut is a real stunner and makes a perfect statement piece.
Paired beautifully with the bright shades and prints of this season's hottest fashions, a black right-hand ring creates real drama. For example, a silvertone right-hand ring punctuated by a jet glass stone will wear dramatically from dinner out with friends or to a friend's evening wedding. Black onyx, or CZ enamel right-hand rings create a real dramatic evening look Playing off the floral trend, look for a funky black flower ring to pair with a little white dress or jeans.
The great thing about the right-hand ring trend is that women can choose between high-priced stones to semi-precious stones to CZ knock-offs. Some women may choose to splurge a bit in their choice of ring but go with an anchor piece that can be worn all year long. The most important tip is to keep the ring simple and bold.
Some are having fun mixing their right-hand rings on one hand, combining several rings for a look that's both dramatic and fun. Rings fashioned with semiprecious stones are a great way to achieve this look without breaking the budget. Fortunately, there are an endless range of jewelry designers today who are creating inspired, fun, beautiful and sometimes quirky right-hand rings that fit any style and price range. While it's a look that's been made popular by celebrities, it's not one that requires a celebrity bank account.
