I've always loved jewelry, especially rings. There's something so personal about the rings we choose to wear every day. They can be a reflection of our mood, our style, and even our memories. I started paying more attention to my own daily ring choices, and I've discovered a passion for creating unique and meaningful ring stacks.
I began my ring journey feeling a bit uninspired. My daily driver was my Enso rose gold ring (my wedding ring is also rose gold, so it felt like a natural fit). While I loved it, I wanted to add more personality and variety to my hand. I started looking at what others were doing, and that's when I really got hooked.
I remember seeing a photo of someone's go-to ring, a beautiful piece that had belonged to their mom. It was purchased in the '80s, and I loved the bezel-set diamonds. It made me think about the stories our jewelry can tell and how we can incorporate sentimental pieces into our daily wear. This really inspired me to look at my own jewelry collection with fresh eyes.
Then I saw another amazing collection. This person’s selection for the day included diamond, moonstone, tourmaline, and garnet with seed pearls. The combination of different stones and textures was so eye-catching! It made me realize that I didn’t have to stick to one metal or style. Mixing and matching was key.
I also saw a simple, yet elegant combination of a wedding set and a pinky ring. The person mentioned changing their right-hand ring according to their mood or the season. I thought that was such a great idea! It’s a fun way to express yourself and keep your look fresh.
One ring that really caught my eye was a big peach zircon. The owner mentioned it was one of their favorites and that they wore it a lot. It showed me how much a single statement ring can elevate your entire look. I knew I needed to find my own "go-to" statement piece.
Inspired by what I saw, I started experimenting with my own rings. I wanted to find a way to incorporate different styles and metals while still maintaining a cohesive look. Here’s what I learned:
I also discovered the beauty of layering necklaces. I was looking for a simple, elegant necklace that I could wear every day and that would complement my rings. That's when I stumbled upon the E.B.belle Minimalist Basic Gold Color Twisted Rope Chain Choker Necklace from Sumsfashion. It's a stainless steel gold necklace with an 8mm rope chain. I got the 40cm length.
I was a little hesitant at first because I usually prefer delicate chains, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. It's not too chunky, but it still makes a statement. I wear it almost every day now, and it goes with everything. It adds a touch of gold to my look without being overpowering. Plus, it's stainless steel, so I don't have to worry about it tarnishing.
Finding the right necklace really helped pull my whole look together. It’s amazing how a simple piece of jewelry can make such a big difference.
