Fashion has already proved a thousand times that the new is the well-forgotten old. And this is proved for the thousand and first time by the most interesting accessories that have become popular again - rings for the whole finger.
The world has long known about the existence of such jewelry. You can even say more: women of the East have been wearing them for centuries, emphasizing their femininity and mystery with original rings. And for them, this is not just a fashion trend - it is a tribute to tradition.
And decoration and amulet
If we are already talking about the homeland of an accessory, then it would be worth emphasizing that in the East not a single piece of jewelry is simply put on. All of them are there with meaning, including rings for the whole finger. Specifically, these jewelry is used not only as an addition to the costume, but also as a talisman.
Moslem countries attach special importance to such things. A solid or thin and openwork ring on the entire finger performs the function of an energy shield.
This is especially important in families where conservative customs are still preserved and there is at least the most modest harem. There is always female rivalry, leteven wives have the same conditions and none is deprived of the attention of their master. Everyone is capable of wishing something like this to their “beloved rival”. So they protect themselves from each other as much as they can. Rings are said to help keep the peace in the family.
Aggressive and cute. How to use a ring to change the image
European women of fashion, choosing a ring for the whole finger, first of all strive to stand out from the crowd, emphasize their extravagance and independence. And since jewelry of this type is divided into aggressive and delicate, the extravagance is different.
Romantic people who don't even have leather pants and skirts in their wardrobe should not even try on "clawed" products. And not so much in the garments is the essence - they can be bought at any time. Rough and "witchy" rings on the whole finger will not be in harmony with either a pretty face or a state of mind.
But if you still want bold experiments, among the models of long rings there is always the opportunity to choose something magical, but softer forms: a spider on a cobweb, for example, or golden plates in the form of fabulous leaves with a diamond drop.
Also, claw rings are not very practical - you can catch someone or yourself or tear clothes.
Metal. Nobles look aristocratic
To make rings for the whole finger, jewelers prefer to use noble metals - gold and silver. The openwork pattern and laconic plates in products made of precious metal look harmonious andvery aristocratic.
Of course, there are models and a lower price segment. But most of them are metal. This means that the fingers from wearing such jewelry will constantly darken, and the products themselves will soon lose their presentable appearance.
Only in the hands of a real master, metal rings on fingers can acquire a solid appearance. But there are only a few specialists capable of making “candy out of a piece of iron.”
Hand in the rings. Side view
If earlier a lot of rings on a hand were considered bad manners, now it is a very fashionable trend that makes women be careful about the selection of jewelry, watching their harmony and matching with each other.
The task of fashionistas is greatly facilitated by the design idea of creating entire collections, including not only traditional sets of ring + bracelet + necklace, or ring + earrings + necklace, but also rings on the phalanxes of fingers (a set that has not yet lost its relevance), and a couple of rings on the whole finger.
A set of two rings connected by a chain or without it looks very impressive on a woman's hand. There is not a hint of bad taste in it, despite the fact that the rings occupy a fairly large area.
Rings for the whole finger give the hand grace and sophistication. True, to obtain such an ideal effect, there is a condition: in addition to long rings that are in harmony with each other, there should be no more jewelry on the hand, otherwise it will look too overloaded, and the owner of a rich collection of jewelry will not get anything but the effect"bazaar glamor".
Rings. Clothing. Manicure
And yet, only a truly bright personality, who also has sufficient courage, can afford to wear a ring on the entire finger. In addition to all of the above, long rings require impeccable taste from their owner.
First you need to analyze the state of your manicure: long painted nails do not fit under elongated rings. A modest, neat, minimalist manicure (french or plain painted with pastel varnish) is just right.
Since finger jewelry is divided into types, which have already been mentioned a little higher, then the images for them need to be selected accordingly.
A vamp with bright make-up, a leather jacket and jeans will choose a ring option with an aggressive bias.
A business woman, to match her invariable office style, will prefer a strict ring made of precious metal, without elaborate patterns - only plates.
Most of all, elongated rings are in harmony with the ethnic style. And it is not necessary to choose clothes with oriental motifs under the ring. Slavic linen sundresses are also suitable.
Selection rules
Before buying original jewelry, every fashionista is concerned about two questions: the first is about whether the finger will bend in such an “armor”, and the second is about what size of the ring to choose, because there are several links and each is designed for a certain part finger.
In terms of flexion, there are rings that secure the finger and rings constructed from several links that allow the finger to bend.
Now about the size. As a rule, in an elongated ring there are two links designed to be put on the finger. Both are different sizes, since the lower and upper phalanges differ in volume. When choosing jewelry, you should focus on both, and not just on the top or bottom. The finger should be comfortable, otherwise wearing such a ring in a few days threatens to turn into sheer torment.
