Innovative trends in ring design

· · · Comments

Following on from a look at innovative earrings, LJS tutor Anna Campbell looks at some of the trends in ring design

Ring design has come a long way from the traditional stone set piece. There are a few interesting trends that are here to stay

Illusion rings

I love the illusion ring, a clever design that leaves you wondering how it’s done.

This gold chevron ring by Katia V on Etsy is one ring rather than two. The way it is made ensures the two chevrons maintain their distance apart on the finger

This X ring by Happy Way Jewelry has a similar look

This ring by Raphael Steinbach features another trend in illusion rings, showing a lot of skin through the front of the ring

 

Unusual shapes

There is also a trend for more unusual shapes in rings, playing on the traditional and turning it on it’s head.

Knuckle rings

There is also a trend that’s been around for a few seasons of wearing a ring halfway up the finger instead of past the knuckle. The style of these tends to be quite simple
