Rings: Stackable or Cocktail?

What a dillemma. You only have enough cash to buy one ring, so which of this year’s trends do you go for? According to my sources (ie Conde Nast) Cocktail rings are the must have bling for any woman who wants to be noticed on the scene. And get you noticed they will–the cocktail rings on the market today are huge, gaudy baubles in blinding shades lemon, orange, turquoise and violet. Sure they look pretty, but, you know what? So do Christmas lights. And, most likely, when this trend passes, anyone caught still wearing one of these lint catchers will look like a sad, naked Christmas tree waiting for the garbage truck, wearing one forgotten, lonely jewel on one of it’s drooping brachces. And nothing says “the party’s over” like a dried out Christmas tree face down in the gutter.
Instead, buy a set of stackable gold rings. They’re cheaper, classier, and if they go out of style, you can always wear them separately (or wear one on each finger, as fashion dictates). Instyle recommends a set of gold vermeil stackable rings for $84, and after some online sleuthing, I’ve discovered that this is a pretty good price. The lower priced stackable rings looked to be of questionable quality, and the higher priced ones didn’t seem to be much better, except that some of them had diamonds.

If you absolutely can’t live without a cocktail ring, get on to macys.com. Right now they are selling cocktail rings half price (likely a sign that they are already going out of style). But hey, fashion is cyclical, and they probably will come back in, so at the very least you can get them at a better price.

Gros bisous,
