It is impossible to imagine any women's outfit that does not include jewelry that complements and sometimes completes the image. One of these jewelry are decorative and precious rings.
Features
Rings in modern society are very popular and, perhaps, not to find a single girl who has not worn a ring at least once in her life.
And if the choice of male models is very limited, then the female ones have an incredible number of varieties, allowing not only to amaze others daily, but also to complement absolutely any images, regardless of styles.
Consider the most unusual, most beautiful and most popular models of rings.
Models
There are many types of rings and each has its own characteristics, characteristic only of this model.
For example, an American wedding ring is something extremely simple, but at the same time, very stylish and seamlessly fitting into any outfit. The American is a broad model without any decor, the surface of which is matte and does not have a glossy shine.
Among the wedding rings are quite popular models without inserts, because not all are fans of decorative and precious stones. Many prefer smooth models, which, unlike American ring, have an attractive, polished, glossy surface.
Not so long ago, a new trend brought vintage rings back into fashion, which can become not only a beautiful everyday accessory, but also a worthy decoration of an evening look. If it is not possible to purchase an original antique product, there are copies of jewelery that are sold at lower prices.
Designer models are especially popular. The thing is that in our time, many girls are in pursuit of branded products and are ready to go to great lengths to become the owner of one of them.
Baby
For little fashionistas, there are also quite a few variants of rings decorated with various details that girls like so much.
Popular models with hearts made of decorative stone or special plastic. Materials for children's rings are collected on the basis of the age category, so that the kids do not get hurt, if some part breaks, forming a sharp end.
In the manufacture of rings for little girls, manufacturers adhere to a certain color range, which, as a rule, especially attracts them. Pink, lilac and violet shades are used. Slightly less popular are orange, yellow, and red.
Another fairly common decorative element that adorns baby rings, is a butterfly. The amusing bright moth is put in the form of the image, made in the form of a separate figure or a decorative stone.
No less popular floral decorations for children's patterns. Beautifully looks flower, located in the center of the finger, consisting of several petals of different colors and the middle of a neutral shade. For teenage girls, there are more elegant models with roses and monochromatic small flowers.
For girl
In modern society, it is difficult to meet a young girl who does not wear rings. But young people prefer not to use standard models, but seek out new and unusual options.
For example, some models are no longer worn on the usual fingers - index, middle and ring fingers, and put on the thumb or little finger.
Girls wearing rings on their thumb usually try to draw more attention to their persona, making unusual adjustments to their appearance. But it is impossible to deny the obvious - although the rings on the thumb are unusual, but they look very beautiful, especially if they are presented in the form of unusual models.
The model looks as if it is wrapped around a finger, and the product with a thin open-work thread looks incredibly feminine and refined.
The product, worn on the little finger, no matter how bright and unusual they are, will still stand out much less and is not so much striking.
In ancient times, it was believed that the ring on the little finger of a young girl said that she was in search of love and longed for success in her personal life, attracting them in this way.
For women
Adult women are more selective in the choice of rings, because they prefer products that are more sophisticated and elegant. For example, the well-known model with a cat's eye, which looks very nice and will successfully complement any outfit.
Some women, especially those who follow fashion trends, prefer the more popular models. For example, a product in the form of animals, gently hugging a finger or a cheeky model with a snake.
By the way, models of rings with animals, sometimes, consist of sets, including two or three copies, one of which is presented in the form of a head, the other - in the form of legs, and the third - in the form of a magnificent tail.
Simple variants of rings look no less beautiful and elegant, the design of which does not differ by some unusual ideas, but is limited to modest curls, precious stones of different sizes and the width of the product itself. Classic models are decorated with one stone, and the wedding classic has a simply glossy surface without decor.
Among all the wedding models, you can especially distinguish a flat ring with a matte surface - it looks unusual and stylish.
Not all women love to wear rings on their hands, but boasting a stylish accessory or an expensive gift is always nice, so many of them prefer to wear items on a chain made of the same material and the same shade as the ring itself.
On the slim female fingers look very nice long models of rings, which are located along one or two phalanges of the finger, or along its entire length. The long model may seem inconvenient, but only at first glance, since it is equipped with special mechanisms that allow you to safely bend your finger.
The kisses ring, decorated with two small balls, the bases of which are intertwined with each other, has again gained its former popularity, thus forming a kind of a kiss.
As an unusual decor fit large models. An ageless classic among them is a ring decorated with a large decorative stone, but if there is a desire to find something more unusual, designers advise to pay attention to the product with a clock, with a rotating middle or with a decorative tassel.
Materials
Rings are made of completely different materials, depending on which the price category of the finished product will be determined.
