Two-finger rings have been spotted on celebs like Rihanna and Lauren Conrad, and we’ve wanted one since the trend made a resurgence a year ago. Until now, though, we hadn’t found one that was perfect for us. The flowers make Chadwick & Rueling’s handmade two-finger rose ring look feminine, but the oxidized silver adds a little grit, too. It’s perfect for the woman who wants to partake in the two-finger ring trend without looking like she’s wearing brass knuckles. [$189, Etsy]

The TAD Gear Titanium Rescue Ring was designed with one thing in mind—helping out its wearer if, in the case of an evacuation, a window or windshield needs to be broken. The wearable weapon consists of two parts: a ring and a spike. If the occasion arises, one inserts the spike into the ring’s hole, and, presto, one has a spiked knuckle that could theoretically, at least, break a girl out of a dangerous situation. But, looking at the ring, it appears that it could double as a self-defense device. Heading down a dark street late at night without your Mace? Perhaps this warrior ring would come in handy should anyone try to put a hand on you. [NOTCOT] 

Jewelry for the foodies features dried apple rings, taro chips, and crystalized oranges. Sweet. [Irresistable.fr]

Ring Pops are the ultimate cocktail rings, but, unfortunately, because they are made from sugar and taste sooooo good, they tend not to last very long (especially the cherry-flavored ones). But now we can wear a sweet treat on our finger without the sticky residue. These meringue-shaped rings, $22, are made of silicone, not high-fructose corn syrup, and we think they’d be the icing on top of our cute outfit cake. [Charles & Marie]

Regardless of how classic (or boring) your outfit is, a big cocktail ring will immediately make it more interesting. We’re loving a few right now…

Time and death were the inspirations behind Christian Dior‘s latest line of uber-opulent jewelry. Dubbed the “Kings and Queens Collection,” these luxurious accessories, designed by Victoire de Castellane, are crafted from opal, jade, and obsidian. The stones are then sculpted into skulls complete with ornate, blinged out crowns and collars. The garish heads are meant to represent the passing of time and the coming of death, while the sparkling crown and collar remind us to enjoy every moment. This time around, we sort of don’t see what’s so hot about this haute piece. [I strongly disagree. They’re gorgeous and I’ll take two please!—Editor] Especially not when the rings, which are meant to be worn two at time, will surely cost a fortune. [D’oh!—Ed.] We’re assuming this isn’t necessarily in your budget, but in case it is log on to Dior‘s fine jewelry website for details on where to buy—then call us for dinner! [Chic Report]

It can be hard to keep track of memories, especially when you switch apartments every year and the movers keep misplacing boxes. This ring holds extra special keepsakes right on your finger, where you can see them whenever you need a little boost. Or, if you need a place to stash a dose of birth control, that works, too.

Christie Brinkley’s all-American style isn’t something we’d ever copy, but that hasn’t stopped us from coveting this ring from her line with Ross-Simons. The turquoise petals are so bright and cheerful, and the amethysts remind us of lilacs. We’d wear this ring with a simple dress or jeans and a white T-shirt so it would be the eye-catcher of the outfit. Now all we have to do is stick to our lunch menu of peanut butter sandwiches so we can afford it. [$125, Ross-Simons]

How does Grandpa keep Grandma wrapped around his finger after all these years? With this ring for the family jewels. The gold band looks like your average man hand accessory, until you pop the onyx top and find the perfect hiding place for that little blue pill, Viagra. Hey, why let erectile dysfunction get you down, when this stylish piece can keep it up?

Remember the feeling you got when you received a new pack of crayons? That box represented all the creative possibilities in your mind. Now you can have that same feeling without looking like a pre-schooler with a Timothy Liles crayon ring. Plus, these handmade rings will come in handy if you want to write your own Love Vandal.

One-finger name rings went out of style eons ago, but we’d still rock a 3-D ring. The minute we saw this Love Ring by Chutapat Wittaya we were in love. We especially like how the letters seem to be exploding from the finger. The only problem is that we can’t choose between the gold-tone, which fits into our ‘80s nostalgia mode, or the silver-tone, which has an ethereal feel. [$69, Desingboom]

Designer Benjamin Lignel has come up with a concept for wedding rings that don’t require you to know your (or your partner’s) ring size, or to go to multiple fittings so your sparkler doesn’t fall off. His Instant Wedding Rings remind us of when we used to wrap those twisty ties around our fingers when we were about 9 years old. Perfect for recession-friendly and last-minute weddings! Right now, these rings are just prototypes, so if you need an inexpensive band, check out these. [BenjaminLignel.com]

Some people get cravings for sweets, while others’ mouths water for salt. And those poor salt-lovers don’t get any of the exciting, brightly colored snacks, which is a shame. Luckily for you salt enthusiasts, design student Roni Baram is trying to make your snack time more interesting with her pretzel ring embedded with salt diamonds, which is like a salty Ring Pop! If I had a bag of these, I’d put one on every finger, and then proceed to eat all 10. [StudentDesign.co.il]

Priceless advice from us to you: museum gift shops have the best quirky crap. Exhibit A: this brass farfalle pasta-shaped ring from the Museum of Modern Art gift shop as part of their Destination Seoul collection, which showcases products by South Korean designers. What we love about this ring is that it doesn’t scream, “We have to share our love of Italian food with the world!” If this ring accessorizes the right outfit, it’ll just look like a cool, quirky piece of jewelry.

Designer Jungyun Yoon wanted to create a ring that would really create an impression on the person wearing it. On the outside, her Inner Message rings look pretty plain, but put one on and you’ll be left with a mark. Raised lettering on the inside of the ring presses into the wearer’s skin, imprinting a message. We’re kind of wondering whether the words be permanently etched there if you wear the ring long enough. [Yoon Jung Yun]

Valentine’s Day is the second-biggest time of year for wedding proposals, but the average amount spent on an engagement ring is expected to drop 9.8 percent this year, down to $2,900. Well, hard times don’t have to mean forgoing a ring altogether. Whether you want a real (but tiny) diamond, or something that looks like a diamond, you have options, even if you or your love are just scraping by. Remember, it’s not about the ring, well, unless you’re a Diamond Digger.

If you’re on your way to getting married but don’t dream of a round-cut diamond solitaire—or a round ring period, Alex & Chloe’s new “Holding You Forever” wedding rings were made for you. Designed exclusively for Revolve Clothing, the square rings are made of 14k gold. The man’s ring ($1,805) is nice and simple, and the woman’s ($1,892) features three inverted white diamonds, which, as we’ve said before, will come in handy if you’re ever attacked. The set will be available starting today. [Refinery 29]

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say your relationship status suddenly went from “HAPPILY ENGAGED” to “HEARTBROKEN AND IN LIMBO”. In addition to how absolutely crappy you might feel, your ring finger probably feels a little naked too, without the presence of its previous occupant, aka your engagement ring. Even if you’re not one of these suffering souls, there’s no reason why a lady can’t buy herself her own damn ring to wear on, yes, her left ring finger. After the jump, 10 rings that say “I love you, self” better than any rock.

1. What is that short-sleeved, asparagus-colored turtleneck sweater Britney’s wearing—the ‘90s called and they want their clothes back.
2. Is she really wearing a necklace underneath the turtleneck? Did she not got the memo that one should never wear a necklace with a turtleneck?
3. I love that Britney cares enough about life to put a protective cover on her BlackBerry.
4. She is wearing an orange athletic watch.
5. ZOMG, is that a ring on her wedding ring finger? Perhaps that finger was just feeling empty without one.
