The wedding season brings a rare chance to go full-glam and presents the perfect opportunity to adorn your fingers with cocktail rings. However, you don’t have to shell out big bucks on statement rings for women that may stay hidden away in your jewellery box for most of the year. With the right trendy rings and styling tips, you can get a chance to show off your bling during the wedding season and incorporate it into your daily wear. Keep reading to learn all about the latest trendy rings for women
- Multi-Finger and Full-Finger Coverage
Dual-finger rings are worn jointly on any two adjacent fingers, while multi-finger rings can be worn on any fingers as per the shape and comfort. Full-finger rings or armour rings give you a similar effect by covering the length of one finger – ideal for those who find multi-finger rings restricting or even those who simply don’t like layering rings. Wear these statement rings in contemporary designs with ethnic sharara sets and sarees for an elevated look. For daily wear, the ring will add a touch of whimsy to your kurta sets or any flared pants and top outfit.
- Ethnic Works
Rings that showcase traditional techniques like meenakari (enamelling) and encasing embellishments like kudan gemstones and mirror work are must-haves for the wedding season. These ethnic rings for women and garments such as lehengas, and anarkali suits, are a match made in fashion heaven and will never fail to add a royal touch to your outfit. Wear these with a skirt and top and you’ve got the ideal outfit for a lunch date – a big plus if you can go all black, as it will make the colours and embellishments pop even more. If you wish to tone it down, a pastel or white midi dress will also give you a great solid base to show off your rings.
- Oxidised
Oxidised jewellery is made of silver that goes through a chemical process to get an aged look. Oxidised rings for women are ideal if you want the vintage aesthetic and also come in modern designs for a fusion look. Oxidised rings with mandala designs and floral patterns will set you apart in the wedding season. You can also go for rings with ghungroo for an added romantic flair (and if you love the attention), especially for events like haldi and sangeet. You can also seamlessly add oxidised rings to your formal outfits by wearing them with an oversized shirt and jeans. If you wish to add a bit more of the desi touch to your casual looks, wear oxidised rings with chikankari kurtas and baggy jeans.
- Minimalism
Dainty rings for women that feature diamonds and precious stones are timeless as they lend a classy feel to all your outfits – from your best festive wear to everyday casuals. However, bringing out your most expensive and cherished jewellery pieces for multiple wedding functions or daily wear is not always feasible and adds to the risk of damage. Finding a mid-way is your best bet to wear rings that are not heavy on your wallets, yet high quality and look luxurious. Many women are now going for silver rhodium and gold-plated rings with zirconia for the solitaire look. Pave diamonds are also the top pick for bridge-to-luxury jewellery brands.
- Patterns and Shapes
Rings in square or rectangular shapes are essentially paintings on your fingers with their intricate patterns and stonework. They can also feature clusters of tiny pearls or beads for that additional touch of elegance. Floral shapes and temple jewellery-inspired patterns are also popular choices as they blend well with the patterns in Indian traditional clothing. If you wear cotton sarees regularly or love ikat print kurtas, stock up on patterned rings to take your desi aesthetic up a notch. These statement rings will also look great with linen power suits or even a simple linen trousers and shirt outfit.
- Tips For Care
If you are considering wearing your rings on a regular basis, here are some tips to maintain them:
- Our hands come in contact with several beauty products like moisturisers, hairsprays, body lotions or oils, and perfumes. It is important to wipe your rings and clean them before putting them in your jewellery box.
- Washing your hands while wearing rings will not always mean you washed off the dirt. Ensure no particles are stuck in the intricate parts of the ring. If there are any hard-to-reach areas, use a toothbrush with soft bristles to scrub.
- Ideally, you should keep rings, especially artificial ones, away from water to avoid rust. Take them off before showers and dry them immediately if they get wet.
- Displaying your rings on your make-up table is cute, but leaving them out may cause tarnishing. You can opt for a box with a clear top to keep them safe and show them off at the same time.
