Costume Jewelry Guru

From candy colored baubles to diamond look-alikes, costume jewelry rings are an easy way to make a bold statement. People look at your hands more than you might think, so accessorizing them can have a huge impact. Because we tend to look at our own hands a lot too, wearing a fun and fashionable ring can even change your state of mind.

Costume jewelry rings are a fun thing to collect. It is nice to get a good collection going and to have a ring for every look and mood. A good ring can be the difference between a passable outfit, and one that looks carefully planned and pulled together. There are a lot of places to get some inspiration if you need help getting started.

Antique shops are a good place to start looking. There, you will often find large, velvet lined drawers full of rings. In the 50’s and 60’s they did all sorts of neat things with plastic. Big, chunky, funky, colorful, there is some really unique stuff out there. Keep your mind open and try out lots of different styles. Something that looks gaudy laying in a drawer might just be a real conversation starter on your hand.

Shopping for costume jewelry rings also gives you a way to shop in trendy boutiques without the hefty price tag. Pick up a ring or two for a way to sport the hottest trends without the massive hit on your wallet. 

Another place to find great costume jewelry is at local art fairs. You can find some really great pieces hand-crafted by local jewelry artisans. Think of each ring as a mini work of art you wear on your hand. Most of my favorite pieces have been purchased this way. I have all sorts of rings made from everything from glass to titanium. These fairs give you the opportunity to find really unique and possibly one of a kind pieces.

Buying rings as vacation souvenirs is a nice way to extend the memory of a great time away. Jewelery is a sentimental object by nature so it makes for a really nice way to commemorate a journey. Each time you wear your ring, you will have a gentle reminder of the good times you had.

Your jewelry should be thought of as more than just an accessory. If you take your time and select unique pieces that capture your personality, it can become a part of you and your image on the world.
