RING in the New Year

FYI: Vogue Gioiello was founded in 1980, and is published five times a year in Italian/English.  The magazine is devoted to the design and production of fine jewellery, goldsmithing and watchmaking. 

RINGS are on of my FAV accessories. There is nothing like a fabulous piece of finger bling to take your look up a notch or at least start a random style conversation while going about your day in public.

My taste in rings is all about the DESIGN, not the price tag. I have an instant attraction to Vintage pieces but other than fine estate jewels, I found it hard to source substantial cocktail rings that were authentically Vintage. 

I created my own RE-Styled line of rings, housed in the Evolution REWIND accessory division. I use authentic vintage brooches and re-style them into fabulous contemporary cocktail rings. Thus, REWIND Rings were born.

(SHOP The REWIND Collection)

Ever wonder where the term "Cocktail Ring" came from?

During the prohibition era (1920's) it became socially acceptable for women to drink, smoke and touch up their makeup in public. They would attend private/secret "cocktail parties" and adorn their fingers with what is now known as a cocktail ring. By definition it is a large ring that would attract attention when the wearer tipped their cocktail to take a drink. 

Cocktail rings were/are constructed from both costume and fine gems/materials. In the 1940's and 1950's they re surged in popularity as the Cocktail Party became a popular social event.  They are STILL a fabulous accessory both high and low end. I personally believe that ANY event is cocktail ring appropriate; parties, grocery shopping, dinner and more.

Will you rock a statement or "cocktail" ring as you RING in the New Year?

A Few of my Fav's, all price ranges, era's and materials! There are SO MANY I could share. I will do so via follow up posts and feature stones, designers and styles. There is literally something for everyone in price point and design.

BOOKS:

GUTS: Kristen Johnston - A GUTSy gift from a talented writer and honest woman. This book is both entertaining and helpful. We could all use some GUTS and be honest with ourselves. We have all experienced addiction to something, known someone or have been involved with an addict. This book is for EVERYONE.

Super Rich: Russell Simmons - The title is deceptive, it has nothing to do with money or material, in fact the letting go these things and freeing yourself. The giving for the sake of giving and serving others with no expectation of a reward or anything in return. Some of the messages in this book are powerful!

 Decades: A Century of Fashion - Cameron Silver. Anyone who loves fashion and fashion's history will think this book is AMAZING! Filled with amazing images and information this book is a stunning edition to any collection.

Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible - Tim Gunn. This is a great book for a lover of factoids AND fashion.
