Building a complete and cohesive wardrobe that
works for your lifestyle and personality is often something that
takes thought and time. It isn't typically done in a short period of
time; rather, it's about picking pieces as they call to you and catch
your attention. Of course, no wardrobe is complete without a healthy
selection of accessories.
Accessories can bring life to an outfit, make it
look more stylish or sophisticated, and they can help to bring your
personality into the look. And just like with clothing, you’ll want
to invest in those accessories that are basic staples as well as
those that create more of a statement. This brings us to statement
rings, which can completely transform the look of any outfit. But how
do you go about buying and wearing a statement ring? Here are some
tips that can help.
A Statement Ring Doesn’t Have to Be Oversized
The first tip to keep in mind is that in order for
it to be a statement ring, it doesn’t necessarily have to be
oversized. Sure, there are some lovely ones that are oversized that
you may want to invest in, but that doesn’t automatically make it a
“statement ring”.
Stacked Rings are a Sleek Solution
If you're the type that really isn't into
oversized jewelry but you still want a statement ring, a great
solution can be a stacked
style ring. These can fit sleek to your finger, yet are much
bigger than a traditional ring, meaning they will take up more space
on your finger. Take, for example, these
stacked Crown
rings, which offer layers of diamonds and gold. Even though they
are a stacked design there is no extra bulk on your finger, yet it
will most definitely make a statement.
What Else Makes a Statement?
So, if you’re not making a statement in terms of
the size of the ring, other ways you can make a statement is with the
design, the stones in the ring, the color, and its age/history. A
vintage
ring can make just as much of a statement as a fashionable new ring.
Is There a Specific Hand or Finger to Wear a Statement Ring On?
Another question you may have is whether or not
there is a particular hand and finger a statement ring is meant to be
worn on.
Traditionally statement rings were meant to be
worn on your right hand, on the middle or ring finger. And while you
can still adhere to that unspoken rule, in reality, a statement ring
can work on either hand and on any finger. Some people even choose to
wear a couple of statement rings at once, with one on each hand.
Wearing Your Statement Ring with Purpose
The final tip is to wear your statement ring with
purpose. Always own it and don’t be afraid to be a bit creative in
what you pair it with. This creativity can help add to the statement
it is making. When it comes down to it, a statement ring is a very
personal shopping choice that is meant to work with you specifically.
