For many of us, jewelry is like armor. We choose to wear a piece because it brings comfort, even a sense of power while expressing personal style. No other jewelry item represents this idea better than the statement ring. When it comes to adorning their fingers right now, our clients are moving away from dainty and delicate to embrace a big, bold look.
What’s so great about incorporating a bold ring into your everyday uniform is its versatility. A glistening chunky ring is that one piece that will seamlessly carry you from a morning coffee meeting to a cocktail event for work to late-night drinks with friends, and everywhere in between. Whether you’re accessorizing a favorite jeans and t-shirt combo, adding a flash of glow to a cool, minimalist fit, or are dressing up a luxurious, vintage-inspired ensemble, it exudes good taste and style. Simply put, there is always a time and place to show off your shiny bold ring.
Buying fine jewelry is an investment. After careful consideration, we select a favorite piece to wear now with the hope that it will continue to bring us joy for many, many years. Thinking beyond emotional and sentimental connection to a technical standpoint, investing in thicker and more substantial jewelry makes sense because it lasts longer. “With over 10 years’ experience in repair, we can tell you that there are many reasons to stray away from delicate styles,” Goldpoint’s Olivia Michaels says. She goes on to list that thin bands are more difficult to resize, prone to bending, tend to snap easily, and may be a contributing factor to precious stones falling out. In sum, thicker means a more durable product. And don’t we all want the ring that bears so much meaning to remain pristine while telling our story, and ultimately become an heirloom cherished by generations to come?
We get the allure of a hand stacked with twinkling slivers of gold and silver - so pretty. However, choosing a robust band, bezel, or prong setting doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice elegance and refinement. Thinking about dipping a finger in the bold ring trend? Here are highlights from Goldpoint’s collection for both everyday wear and wedding/engagement.
