Post your collection: Rings

Most of my rings were bought in the past two years, since I started nail blogging. I don't usually wear rings, especially not in the winter--too fussy with gloves and coats and long sleeves and whatever.

First up, my signature look:
rest of look here

The thin band is my wedding ring, a $6 matte titanium band. (I'm allergic to gold.) Worn on the 2nd knuckle above my wedding band is a Luv Aj brass ring. And The Gareth Pugh ring is also brass. These are the only rings I own that are not questionable metals. As far as I know, the rest of my rings are made of 100% pure cadmium.

I bought a fake version of the above ring as well...in black, from ebay:

4-finger ring from Romwe

Claw ring from Chinatown. I also got this in black. I've worn the black ones a few times, the silver rhinestone one, no.


Also got a black one (got these at century 21)

Worn with a 2-finger cross ring I got in Chinatown


Open ring I got from ebay. Surprisingly it doesn't fall out during wear

Acrylic ring with a real scorpion in it, bought at Evolution

2-finger cross mood ring I bought at Claire's. And my nails look perfect.


When I moved, I threw out almost a shoeboxful of rings. I kept these two for some reason. Amazingly, they were part of a Kelly Ozbourne halloween costume (this was in 2002). From when I worked at a halloween costume shop.

Lastly, a sterling silver eye ring with an amber cabochon for the pupil. My mom, who loves amber, bought this for me at a craft fair.

I'd like to have more rings made out of real metals and not junk costume jewelry. I'd also like to have more gemstones. Well, I've got a lifetime to collect, don't I? Have you done a ring collection post? Link in the comments! I'd love to see.
