Crave: Designboom Love Ring

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] Keep reading »

A Ring For Pretzel Lovers

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!

Crave: Farfalle Ring

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.

Simple Rings Bearing Secret Messages

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] Keep reading »

Remember, it’s not about the ring, well, unless you’re a Diamond Digger. Keep reading »

Slideshow: Non-Engagement Rings

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. Keep reading »
