All You Need to Know about Fashion Rings - Level up Your Look

Jewelry pulls your look together, and it's an easy way to level up your style. Adding some fashion rings to your jewelry collection is one way to do that. Fashion rings are basically decorative rings that aren't worn for symbolic purposes. You can find rings in all sorts of designs, from modern, minimal looks to more statement pieces, so you're sure to find one that reflects your personal style.

Popular Styles

It's helpful to be familiar with some of the different fashion ring styles to make your shopping easier. Some common styles include:

• Solitaire: The term solitaire means single, so the focus is on one stone in jewelry. You'll see rings with colored gemstones or diamonds, like this oval solitaire ring.
• Cocktail: Cocktail rings are typically oversized rings that feature diamonds or colored gemstones. This cocktail ring has oversized flowers that will catch plenty of attention.
• Stackable: You can find lots of stackable ring options. You can purchase rings that look like they're stacked, like this diamond stack, or mix and match by buying different rings and creating a custom stack that reflects you.
• Midi: This ring style sits nicely between your top two knuckles. They're usually daintier to be comfortable.
• Statement rings: These rings are worn to make a statement. They feature oversized stones or eye-catching arrangements. Here's an example of a diamond statement ring.

Materials

Like other types of jewelry, you'll see fashion rings made from platinum, silver, and gold (yellow, rose, or white). Platinum and silver both have a silvery hue and are hypoallergenic. Platinum is heavier and more expensive than gold and silver because it's denser and more rare. Gold is also a robust and durable option, and it's available in different hues to meet your personal preferences.

Gemstones

Diamonds and colored gemstones, such as sapphires, emeralds, and rubies, are common in fashion rings. You can get your favorite color or birthstone or pick the gemstone based on its meaning. Rubies signify passion, protection, and wealth. Emeralds are symbols of truth and love, and sapphires represent joy, prosperity, and inner peace.

Trends in Fashion Rings

You'll see some creative, trendy designs as you shop for fashion rings, like this pear design and this toi et moi three-row ring. Cuff rings are also trendy and look amazing on your finger. Look for trends that you're drawn to and choose the ones that resonate with you the most.

Customization and Personalization

Customizing and personalizing rings makes them one of a kind and even more special because they represent you. Once you find a fashion ring style you like, pick the metal that you prefer to make it your own. For some designs, you can also choose the stones you want, like colored gemstones or natural or lab grown diamonds. You can even engrave the inside band of your ring with a quote or personal message.

Sizing and Fit

Finding the correct ring size is essential. While some rings can be easily resized, other designs can't. If you'd like to measure your ring size at home, follow these steps:

• Use floss or string and wrap it around the base of your finger.
• Use a pen to mark where the floss or string first overlaps.
• Remove the string or floss from your finger, stretch it out along a ruler or measuring tape, and write down the length in millimeters.
• This measurement is the circumference of your finger. To calculate the diameter, divide the circumference by pi (dividing by 3.14 will work).
• Use your measurements and compare them to an online ring sizing chart.

You can also visit a jewelry store and have your measurements taken. If you have a ring that fits, you can measure the ring to determine your size. You have plenty of options! Try using a couple of methods to ensure you find the right size.

Care and Maintenance

Diamonds are very hard and can scratch other jewelry, so storing your fashion rings separately from other jewelry is best. Some scratches can be buffed out of metal, but it’s best to try to avoid getting scratches. Silver might tarnish over time, but you can get a silver polishing cloth to solve that problem. Platinum and gold are strong, durable metal options with little to no maintenance. White gold sometimes needs rhodium plating if you wear your fashion ring often.

Budget-Friendly Options

You can find fashion rings at a variety of price points. If you're looking for affordable options, opt for lab grown diamonds. They cost less and are also environmentally friendly and ethically sourced. Choose gold or silver instead of platinum to stay within your budget. Rings with more metal than gemstones, such as this studded diamond band and twist ring, will also be more affordable.

Ethical and Sustainable Practices

More men and women are more aware of the environmental and ethical impact of diamond mining, so more people are choosing lab grown diamonds because they're sustainable and are created in a lab instead of mined from another country. With Clarity priorities, responsible production, and sourcing can save you money on jewelry by cutting out the mediators in the supply chain. This allows With Clarity direct access to high-quality products and helps your budget.

Online Shopping Tips

You might be overwhelmed by how many online shopping options you have, but don't worry! Research any retailer you're considering to see their policies and how customers are reviewing them. Specifically, look at warranty and return policies.

Conclusion

Hopefully, you will feel more informed about purchasing a stunning fashion ring representing your style and preferences. You'll find plenty of designs, so select a design, metal, and gemstones that fit your style. Fashion rings are a great way to add a splash of style to your ensemble, and With Clarity has hundreds of timeless options.
