Forget about rings of traditional design and discover a world of jewelry that reflects your taste preferences and attitude towards certain people. Products with elven weaving, rings-miniatures of the greatest structures, snakes entwining your fingers, phoenixes shining with gold and combination locks folded into someone’s name will tell you much more about you than typical rings, and will make you simply unforgettable.
Incredible rings for the fashionista
Allow yourself a little more than standard options made of precious metals or conservative signet shapes. The classics of the genre fade in comparison with skillfully executed miniatures and mythical creatures sitting on their fingers. Besides them, Symbolic decorations definitely deserve attention. They can often be seen in the arms of lovers who have decided to legitimize their relationship.
With fairy tale motifs
Literature and mythology are a rich source of ideas and inspiration. Designers love to recreate jewelry described in books. Some are so immersed in the world of the work that they even adopt technologies from it. As a result, collections of jewelry and costume jewelry appear in our reality that meet all the criteria of the popular fictional universe. For example, Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Game of Thrones.
Important! Tolkien is the “parent” of the modern concept of dwarves and elves. Therefore, it is his work that people resort to when they want to create jewelry that is shaped like the work of these fictional peoples.
Not only the designs are adopted, but also the characters and creatures. Due to the richness of folklore, strange flowers bloom on our hands, mythological birds nest, dangerous but non-existent predators watch in the real world, fairy-tale animals hold precious stones in their claws and mouths.
Incredible Dragon rings look impressive. It can be just a snout or an entire reptile whose tail wraps once or repeatedly around the finger. Mermaids holding gems in their hands look no worse, and sometimes more interesting. And, of course, the matter is not complete without precious scarabs, the faces of dire wolves, sea monsters with an endless number of tentacles and heads wrapped around the fingers, as well as the 12 Signs of the Zodiac.
If you wish, you can find jewelry not just with fairy-tale or mythical creatures, but with specific characters. For example, with the Cheshire Cat, Medusa the Gorgon, the Minotaur and even Darth Vader. Cinematic universes have an influence on jewelry designers comparable in strength to the influence of folklore and science fiction books. Anime and video games are not far behind.
Important! Many interesting options are related to plant themes. For an example, refer to the “Mysterious Forest” collection.It is represented by rings and signets with strange berries, made of metal and precious stones, with existing and non-existent flowers.
In addition to the options listed, there are miniature rings. They tell a whole magical story, rather than representing a specific hero. Theo Fennell is interested in creating such things. From this jeweler you can find:
- a ring in the shape of a wardrobe from the Narnia book series;
- emerald ring with the Yellow Road from The Wizard of Oz;
- ring with a medieval castle from legends;
- a ring with pirates and a chest full of gold.
Fennell's works are remarkable in that from above they look simply like a massive painted ring, but their stones recline. Underneath them, inside the cavity and on the removable “lid,” there is a miniature that allows you to plunge into magical universes.
The work of Stephen Webster, who embodied the 7 deadly sins in 7 rings, created a real sensation.
Stunning structures at your fingertips
If Theo Fennell hides the “highlight” behind a folding “lid”, then some other designers prefer to leave the miniatures in plain sight. This is how tiny images of the Eiffel Tower, the Kremlin, and the 7 Wonders of the World appear on your hands. The works are so neat and close to the originals that Lefty involuntarily comes to mind.
Unusual wedding rings
No couple considers themselves to be like the others. That is why engagement jewelry is at the peak of fashion, which can emphasize the essence of the relationship and distinguish its owners from the crowd. For these purposes, the following models are offered:
- with the newlyweds' fingerprints on the band (an alternative to the names on the inside of the ring);
- with decor on the inside of the bezel (when put on, the ring looks simple, but as soon as you remove it, the main distinctive feature of the product becomes noticeable);
- with a convex engraving on the inside (due to pressure, the inscription or design is literally imprinted into the skin, over time the effect is fixed and thereby a “tattoo” appears on the finger);
- square rings, triangle rings;
- wedding rings-knots (a miniature rope made of gold and silver, with the help of a cunning knot, forever seals the union of 2 loving hearts);
- rings imitating round objects (for example, balls, tires);
- models with love motifs (with hearts, cupids, cardiogram, Japanese ideas about the feminine and masculine principles, Cherubs);
- rings with royal paraphernalia (for example, coats of arms, crowns);
- products whose design is based on the idea of bonds (for example, with cast decor from unbreakable chains).
Also Custom engraving on the inside and outside of couple wedding jewelry is popular. However, instead of ordinary names, lovers post excerpts from poems, meaningful phrases and words that are special to them.
