ANN/THE DAILY STAR – Psychologists said that we notice other people’s hands just as much as we notice their eyes.
We use our hands to communicate, express emotions, work, and more.
So, it’s no surprise that, throughout history, humans have found ways to adorn them with jewellery.
And at the top of that list? Rings. Though small in size, rings make a big impact.
From delicate, minimalist designs to bold, oversized statement pieces, and everything in between, rings are a fun way to add the perfect touch of flair to any outfit.
Let’s start with the basics.
Ask any woman what’s her favourite piece of jewellery and chances her she’ll say her engagement ring. Not just a mere ornament it is a symbol of love, commitment and affirmation a couple have towards each other.
An engagement ring is probably the most worn and loved piece of jewellery for women. This ring could be a simple gold band, a cluster of diamonds or a massive solitaire that could support its very own solar system.
Made popular by Hollywood celebrities a big rock is the ultimate accessory to flaunt.
Elizabeth Taylor, the grande dame of Hollywood with an enviable collection of jewels whose legendary engagement rings are talked about still today set the trend for diamonds on rings. And hers weren’t just any other diamonds but the rarest of the rarest kinds.
Gold bands were de rigueur before that; women were content with a simple gold ring.
Diamond became the standard for engagement rings. If you are lucky enough to have a generous fiancé who put a ring on it and a big one at that you have hit the jackpot.
Statement rings were made popular in the 70s and 80s when oversized everything was all the rage.
Along came the minimalistic 90s and such statement pieces were considered over the top and dated. However, cocktail rings are hot and happening right now.
Stunning pieces are crafted with rainbow-coloured stones with the most exquisite designs that are bound to steal your heart and the limelight of any party.
A ring is enough to elevate your entire look. Jewellery stores have a stunning array of gorgeous cocktail rings that are not only unique but also worthy of being considered as heirlooms.
Semi-precious stones and costume jewellery are equally stylish. Choose a unique piece that will complement multiple outfits and will add just the right touch of bling to your look.
You can go for gold or silver tones or pick a jewel tone such as emerald or ruby that is likely to match with other jewellery pieces you own. – Sabrina Bhuiyan
