Famous Stories About Rings for Women and Men

“We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!” – Gollum, The Lord of The Rings.

No other than the precious One Ring from J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings can represent the power, fascination and significance of rings in our lives. An entire trilogy about war, love, faith and loyalty was created based around the one evil ring of the dark lord Sauron, a gold ring with an inscription in the Black Speech of Mordor.

Since time immemorial, rings have not just been treated as a piece of jewelry; there always seems to have been something deeper attributed to them. A ring can be a symbol of love, friendship, a symbol of belonging to a cult or a legacy or can even represent something sinister.

It is believed that in a way, a ring represents the person who wears it and carries with it the character, personality and power of the wearer. For example, in the DC Comics superhero story Green Lantern, each character is identified by the coloured ring he or she wears and each ring has a power of its own.

Fans of comic books will understand only too well the fascination that rings can hold for them. The Phantom for instance, always got his power from his ring which was made from metals used to crucify Jesus Christ. Two rings made from this material are shown to represent good and evil.

Even the world famous Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling includes the story of Salazar Slytherin’s ring which the Dark Lord or Voldemort goes to great lengths to obtain as his inheritance and then uses it to save part of his soul in it.

There’s no wonder that so many legends have been created around rings. In fact there are also folktales like the European folklore about the Lady with the Ring who was buried prematurely wearing a valuable ring. She wakes up when a thief opens her grave to steal the ring, gives him a fright and returns home where people initially think she is a ghost.


Such mystical qualities are what got me interested in acquiring rings for myself. I thought why not make a legend of my own? To make a ring into a legend, it has to be something that is not only unique and beautiful but also speaks to you; matches your personality. And when I found the right one, I began creating a story of my own.

How can you choose a legendary ring of your own? Firstly, do as I did. I scoured online on websites like Caratlane.com for unique collections of rings for women. Secondly, keep browsing and just as it did with Harry Potter, you don’t choose the ring, the ring chooses you.

So what if you find your ring? What story will you weave around it?

5 unusual ways to wear rings with a style

Tired of trying out thousands of different outfits and hairdos to get that new look? It’s time get out of the monotony of everyday life and do something out of the box. A girl’s best friends are her accessories and one of the cool things you can play around with are your rings.

Here are 5 unusual ways to wear rings to steal the spotlight:
 
1. Don’t Use Your Ring as a Ring: Intrigued? That’s how you want people to feel when they see your ring hanging from your neck on a long simple chain. Making your ring into a pendant goes amazingly well with anything, may it be a formal top or a casual T-shirt with jeans. It even spruces up your formal office attire.

Style Tip: A platinum band or a flat gold ring are best for this kind of look. Try throwing together two or three rings of similar design but different colours.


2. Chain It Down: 

Another chic way to make your accessories stand apart is to chain your rings. Wear two or more rings on different fingers, chained to each other.  


Style Tip: This looks best when the rings are of the same metal but they can be of different sizes and designs.



3. Stack  ‘Em Up:

Gone are the days when a simple solitary ring adorned your finger. It’s time to stack up multiple rings and add that Wow factor. Wear same tone rings at different positions on your fingers. Do this on two or three fingers with different size rings.

Style Tip: Mix and match the number of rings as well as the thicknesses. Sounds like a bit too much? Not at all. Rings have this strange way of beautifying your fingers in any way.

 



4. Pair It and Wear It:

Add some spunk by pairing up your stacked rings with a matching bracelet. Make sure you wear three-fourth sleeves that will show off your new style.

Style Tip: Avoid over-stacking the rings. Using a maximum of five rings only on two or three fingers is enough to complement the bracelet without stealing the focus.

 
5. Bold and Beautiful:

One unusual way to wear a ring is to wear an unusual ring. Get a hold of a large, bold clustered ring with a unique design. This solitary ring is enough to make a statement by itself, without the help of any other accessory.

Style Tip: The ring could be of diamonds or gemstones and it could even be large enough to almost cover two fingers.






So the next time you are bored of your look, don’t worry about your clothes, try out these fun ways to use your accessories.

Style Tip: However, beware of using cheaper imitation jewellery, as it can make the look go wrong. Use real jewellery to add true class and sophistication.

So, are you ready to sport your new look? There are many options of designs and metal tones available online as well! Try these rings for women at one of the trusted online stores like CaratLane.com. You can easily browse through all your choices and invent your own new style instantly.
