Statement rings: 4 trends, 20 eye-catching picks

Multi-Finger

It was only a few short seasons ago that arm parties were the hottest bashes around, but these days rings are throwing the best ragers. Designers nailed the more-the-merrier look with multi-finger pieces that ranged from Gothic and edgy at Sally LaPointe to dainty and delicate at Salvatore Ferragamo. Over at Moschino, there were splashy gold nameplates worthy of Mr. T.

Floaters

A floating ring is the ultimate piece of street-style jewellery. Seen on the chic mains of Rihanna, these open bands seem to disappear when worn, leaving the gems, pearls and diamonds to hover prettily above the fingers. Along with a Starbucks cup and a flawless mani, it’s the perfect finishing touch for an Instagram hand selfie.

Boulders

The classic cocktail ring gets a timely spin with raw, geological rocks and bold, polished sparklers—when it comes to these gems, bigger is definitely better. You can even harness the mystical powers said to be inherent in some stones and crystals. How’s that for bijoux with benefits?

Filigree

This ornate metalwork technique, with ancient roots in Mesopotamia, fits right in with fall’s nature-inspired trend. Like the tendrils
of a crawling vine, these fine
curlicues lend a feminine touch—even to big, bold knuckle-dusters.
