Crystalline Rock Ring by Jealousy Design

Is it just me, or is bling looking a little less sparkly these days? I am noticing a trend towards less precious materials in independent jewelry design. I guess it’s the recession, and probably just another sign of what people can no longer afford, but personally, I prefer rough cut rocks to glittering jewels any day.

This white marble ring by Jealousy Design is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s big enough to be noticed, small enough not to get in your way, sparkly enough to read as jewelry, and totally minimal and understated. What wouldn’t this look good with? An armful of gold bangles, maybe, but even then…Available for $39 from Jealousy Design.
