Animal Rings

Statement jewelry is all the rage. In New York the look I see the most is simple clothing in neutral colors paired with bold jewelry and shoes. I like it because it looks easy and effortless and come on, who doesn’t like a good piece of jewelry? Rings are my piece of choice, I love how much they can add to an outfit.

Me thinks I have spotted a new jewelry trend lurking in the wilderness. Inspired by jewelry featured in Italian Vogue by Mantina Amanita I went on my own little safari to look for exaggerated animal rings on a more inexpensive scale. I was impressed with what I found and think this is definitely an emerging trend. What a great way to add a little bit of humor to contrast an edgy or girly look. Here is my original inspiration along with some of my favorites from my search.
