Finger Flair

Oh woe is me.  I'm such a martyr.  Here I am, spending all day looking at beautiful rings and trying to decide which one to tell you about.  I just don't know how I manage to do it.   Truth be told, I'd be doing this anyway, so it really works out that I have this blog to share with you guys.

Today I was looking around on Amazon and I noticed that they were having a new sale, Extra 30% Off Select Sterling Silver Rings.

So, I wandered through the rings that were on sale and found this beautiful Sterling Silver & 14k Gold Green Jade Ring.

Sterling Silver & 14k Gold Green Jade Ring

It's from the Amazon.com collection, which usually means it's a real bargain because they sell it for effectively cost, it seems like.  I mean, take this ring.  The gemstone is green jade and the metal is 14k gold and sterling silver and they are selling it for $49.99.  That's almost 50% off of the list price.  I love the alternating bands of silver and gold around the green jade stones, it's a really unique look.  This is the kind of ring that looks good when you are going in for drinks in your cocktail dress or just enjoying a mocha at the bookstore with a baggy sweater and jeans.

So, after talking about that hip and funky Ayala Bar fabrics ring on Tuesday I got to looking for more pieces by Ayala Bar.   They have all sorts of really unique pieces on Amazon and I found this particular ring and it really jumped out at me.  I love the colors and composition as well.  It looks like they are calling it their Timeless Beauty Ring in Sand, Lavender and Pink.  Sounds about right.  Here's a picture of this piece.

Ayala Bar Timeless Beauty Ring in Sand, Lavender and Pink #7128 AYR OLR

Those details are just so delicate and beautiful!  The components that make up the smaller details are austrian crystals, glass beads and mineral stones.  The complete look is definitely unique, hip and fun.  From the notes at Amazon, it sounds like these pieces have the potential to be quite collectible:

All items in this collection are individually designed by the artist and are then lovingly handmade in limited editions in her studio. The whole collection is then discontinued within six months of its introduction, making these works highly collectible.

So, if you are looking for a funky and hip ring, this might be just the thing for you.

So, I was on a quest for Aqua today and I'm glad I was because I'm not sure how I would have found this Glass Dichroic Ring otherwise.

Glass Dichroic Finger Ring: Small Aqua on Amazon.com

The ring appears to be all one piece of glass and the Aqua dichroic color (the color of the ring will vary depending on how the light hits it) is amazing.  The small ring is the same as a 5.5-6.5 ring size, but it looks like you can get it in medium and large as well.  It's hard to get much more unique for only $19.

I was looking for suggestions for finding special rings when hoganfe, on Twitter, suggested a combination (like Aqua and Red).  That was enough to get me looking around and it resulted in my finding a brilliant Black Opal 14K Ring.

Just look at this picture to see the play-of-color magic in this Australian Black Opal.

Black Opal 14K Ring Fire red violet aqua opale opalo

You should really go look at the auction on eBay because there are six, or so, pictures that really show how dynamic the play-of-color is in this stone.  What a unique ring!  The buy it now price is $284.62, down from $379.50 and you can also make an offer on the ring, if you feel like a lucky haggler.

The metal is 14k yellow gold and the stone is an Australian black opal in an oval shape.  The stone is 1.59 carat.  Here are some more notes from the auction:

A Large 1.59 carat Oval BLACK Opal with BRIGHT B3 PINFIRE and Flagstone Block Patterns of REDS, BLUES, ORANGES, YELLOWS and INDIGO in a N4 BLACK base density. This 10.5x8.3 mm Opal Oval is protected by a 13x11 mm Bezel mounting and size 7 ring with 2.00 Grams of Solid 14K Gold beauty. The Play-Of-Color of this Opal is B3 BRIGHT, RICH to Medium Color Saturation, Constantly Changing Shapes and Flashes against the Base Density N4 (BLACK) that usually appears as Dark Grey, Blueish or Violet variations of the natural Opal's Play-Of-Color.

In Sunlight and Bright Tungsten lighting, more secondary colors will be enjoyed - LIME, MAGENTA, VIOLET, SALMON ORANGE and GREEN. This Opal is a 'face up' gemstone that shows its very brightest when the viewing light is beaming straight into the opal's face and back to your eyes as if the sun were shining over your shoulder while you admired its Play-Of-Color.

Happy ring hunting!

As I often do, this morning I head over to Amazon to see what Today's Deals were.  I just love to find a good deal, so I looked to see what was shaking for Jewelry today and I discovered that, right now, it's an extra 30% off diamond and silver rings!  I'll take it!

So, then I wasted a good part of the morning looking at all the rings in this category and trying to decide what I couldn't live without.  Then I stumbled into this gorgeous Sterling Silver Diamond Buckle Ring.

I'm always scouting out the Today's Deals section at Amazon for jewelry (and especially ring) deals.  Today I stumbled into the following promotion, "Extra 30% Off Select Silver Black & White Jewelry".    Much of the featured jewelry is earrings, bracelets and whatnot, but I did find this adorable ring, Sterling Silver Black Onyx & Mother-of-Pearl Checkered Ring.

The ring is .925 sterling silver and the pattern is mother-of-pearl and onyx.  It comes in a regal blue sueded-cloth pouch and it's from the Amazon.com collection.  There are sizes 5-9 available and, since it's from the Amazon.com collection, it's eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime!

The checkerboard pattern is pretty hip and fun and I love how the face of the ring just pops!   It's all-in-all, a whole lot of cute for $29!
