What: The Cocktail Ring
Which: It’sall about huge statement rings this season. Choose big stones, brightcolours or just simple black jet. The bigger the better. In silver orgold whatever tickles your fancy. Whatever tickles your budget.
Why: Becauseit’s a dramatic season. Because when clothes are strong andarchitectural the jewels can be too. Because it’s a way to weardesigner without paying a fortune. Because it’s a way to addpersonality and individuality to the way you dress. Because rings areeasy to wear , they always fit and unlike earrings you can actuallyadmire them when you are wearing them.
Wear: It’s about finding one fabulousring and owning it. Just because Catherine MCNeil (above) is wearing earringsand many rings doesn’t mean you will. Remember it’s about one piecethat should be the focus. It’s about pairing it down to a singular, strongpiece. As Chanel said “ before you go out the door always take onething off.” Pity Britney always takes off the wrong thing….
