I love rings. No wait, I LOVE RINGS. There.

Unfortunately, the type of rings I like is beyond my current expertise. I am happy enough to gawk and covet, though, and if I can imagine myself wearing them enough on repeated occasions then that justifies a purchase. And I can blog about them. Here are some recent faves found on Etsy:


Some are old favourites, some from newer shops. Generally, I like solid, bigass, abstract statement rings with contrastingly subtle colours or finishes, and modern, geometric, curvy or nature-inspired shapes. I also like large polished rocks with natural banding/inclusions like muted agates and jaspers, as well as labradorite (of course), larimar, amazonite and rhodochrosite (I have a really lovely one but I don't wear it so often because it's, well, pink). As you can see I'm not crazy about sparkly gemstones, but if I had to pick I'd go with any blue, red or black gems. Absolutely no pastels. Small ones.

Share your faves! Anything you like from here? I think I'm gonna have to get that Anubis ring (if it can be made in matte silver)!
