Rings are there to be your faithful companion and make you look good. You don't need Prince Charming to get down on one knee and present your dream ring in a little box; you can still accentuate your outfit and finalise your look with a well-selected ring.
A ring is a statement. A design such as a fisherman's ring, or a Russian wedding ring can represent something you believe in, a friendship ring will remind you of a loved one, a diamond says 'I love you', but sometimes, all you want is a great ring which will go with your dress, or pull together your whole outfit.
Costume jewellery these days uses a huge variety of materials. There are so many choices for any type of look; crystal, cubic zirconia, glass and semi-precious stones are all used to give the appearance of the real deal. The metals used include gold or silver plated brass, vermeil or sterling silver, but the most interesting are the ones by the more creative of the designers which are experimenting with plastics, acrylics and wood. Not only will the ring draw everyone's attention, but you won't be able to look away either.
Cheryl Cole knows that people are always fascinated by her ring choice - the press is obsessed over which finger any rings are on due to the drama surrounding her marriage. Seeing as even her hands are talked about, she gracefully distracts attention from whether or not there is anything on her ring finger and to some statement rings that deserve being discussed! Cheryl proves how personal rings can be when she designed her own ring with the word 'promise' engraved into it.
Pop music's fairy queen, Pixie Lott rocks out with gothic silver rings, overly adorable statement bunny rings and even a P3 Scrabble-letter-turned-ring on her dainty hands. Pixie shows that anything can be made into fashion. She also loves organising crystals together to look like diamonds, roses and uses red stained glass for a contemporary and edgy look.
Kim Kardashian has an engagement ring, from basketball luminary Kris Humphries, that's rumoured to be worth $2million! Nonetheless, Kim has been photographed still happily wearing costume jewellery, such as flashy crystals that counteract the real deal. And for those who follow Kim's style, there are great copied diamond designs sold for a margin of the price.
Over the last few decades style icons have graced the scene, making costume jewellery fashionable and famous. There was art deco, retro and now today's modern take on jewellery. In today's world, you can have a one-of-a-kind personalised ring, or select from a series of mass produced rings that groups of friends can buy together and unite in style. Or there are copies of rings made famous by style icons, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Coco Chanel or the Duchess of Windsor. If you're a lover of Royal fashion, copies of Princess Diana's famous engagement ring are available for the same price as a slightly expensive lunch!
But if you prefer to be modern like our Cheryl, Kim and Pixie then use their fashion sense as your stylist and then accessorise yourself with your own personal touch.
