Whoa. BLING! This CZ 3CAP ring, by Los Angeles based Valou, should come with its own sound effect. Three rows of three eye-popping cubic zees that fit right between your fingers. It’s not even really a “ring” in that it doesn’t actually encircle your whole finger, just gently snuggles up against the back of your hand, pressing these lovely gemstones to the forefront. I can’t think of a single outfit or occasion that wouldn’t be made better by this little glimmer of deliciousness. It will go perfectly with my giant CZ studs and, I dunno, something black and leather. Available for $175 from Shopflick.
POW! This aptly named Bad Ass Elegance Knuckle Duster is by my new favorite jewelry guru, VeraMeat. Like the 3Z, it sits on three fingers. Also like the 3Z, it looks like you could do some major damage with this thing in a fistfight. Not that I encourage that sort of behavior, but just in case. I love the sleek, lean, and minimal design of the ring. Plus, it promises to stimulate your pressure points. No, seriously, it claims that it will keep you relaxed. Which is great for everyone around you, because if you got mad and started swinging…oh, wait, we went over this. I do not encourage violence. Unless it’s jewelry that kicks ass. Available for $160 from Shopflick.
Why, yes, that is a T-Rex eating fried chicken on my finger. If ever there was a piece of jewelry that combined, in perfect measure, quirkiness, sass, and badassitude, here it is. This Dino Eating Fried Chicken ring, also by VeraMeat, just stole my heart, and maybe a drumstick off my dinner plate. Sterling silver, handcrafted, and sparkly. Enough said. Available for $132 on Shopflick.
