Rings on the phalanges
Among the huge variety of modern accessories in the last season, the most popular were the original phalanx rings. Such jewelry on women's fingers looks quite unusual, but at the same time organic, and even combined with most other accessories.
A bit of history
Such decorations have appeared for a very long time. For the first time, phalanx rings began to be worn in ancient Egypt. Then the local nobility used them not only as a decorative element. Poison was stored in such rings, which, if necessary, could poison your enemy.
Today, there is no longer any need to hide poison inside the ring. But such accessories are still popular among many girls. Fashion for them returned a few seasons ago. Many stylists and bloggers have picked up on this trend and started spreading it among young girls and teenagers.
Famous actresses and models often complement their bows with similar accessories. Vivienne Westwood is a striking example of this. She regularly complements her bows with spectacular bandage fingers. Such rings are able to bend at the joints, which is very practical and convenient.
Peculiarities
Rings that are worn on the upper phalanx of the finger are called phalangeal. Such rings have quite a lot of advantages compared to the classic ones.First of all, they are distinguished by the fact that they look much more original than traditional models.
Such small rings are also good because they can be combined with other accessories. That is, you can safely put on phalangeal rings without removing your wedding band or any other favorite accessory. But in order for the jewelry to look harmonious, it is desirable that they be made of the same metal or created in a similar style.
Thin phalangeal rings, despite the external fragility, hold well on the fingers. Therefore, you will not lose them even in everyday life. Phalanx rings can be purchased individually or as a set. Rings purchased as a set look especially good on a woman's hand. They are perfect for each other and look harmonious in one image.
Such accessories can be worn on two phalanxes at once or only on one. It’s good if you choose several rings - one for the first phalanx of the ring finger, and the other for the second phalanx of the middle finger, for example. It is recommended to choose rings for different phalanges so that there is no bust with accessories.
If you wish, you can pick up rings for 2 phalanxes made of different materials. A better option is a ring made of precious materials, such as silver or platinum. Such an accessory will last much longer and will look solid. The material should be selected depending on what kind of jewelry you prefer to wear in everyday life.
A cheaper option is simple rings made of steel or bronze.A set of such rings is inexpensive, so you can afford several options at once, choosing the most suitable accessories for different outfits or even moods.
Species and types
Rings of this type, as already mentioned, can be very different. It is worth talking about the existing varieties in more detail. Such accessories can be worn on the lower, middle or upper phalanx of the finger.
Headbands
The most versatile option is a phalanx ring, made in the form of a thin rim. Usually such decoration has a flat and smooth surface without any defects. But modern designers, trying to give individuality to accessories, can complement such rings with a scattering of small stones or fine patterns.
The patterned version is suitable for romantic girls. There is a wide variety of such designer rings that look elegant and gentle. Such accessories look especially good on wide rings, where you can demonstrate all the beauty and sophistication of such patterns.
The width of such rings can also be different, depending on the shape of the palms and the thickness of your fingers. So, narrow rings look better on thin fingers, and wide ones on short and plump ones.
The ring, which completely hides the entire phalanx, looks very unusual, but at the same time, quite stylish.
springs
Another option for rings on the phalanges is the so-called springs. Such jewelry stretches if necessary, so even if you get a little better, you do not have to get rid of it. Such an accessory is good for those whose hands always swell by the end of the day. Spring rings can be worn on one phalanx or on two at once, depending on their length.Such jewelry is most often made of steel or other cheap materials, although gold or silver rings of this type are also found.
With decorative top
If simple thin rings seem too boring for you, pay attention to rings decorated with an original top. The most unusual look are the rings on the phalanx, the upper part of which completely covers the nail plate. Such a top is often made in the form of a small crown, some geometric figure or a simple flower. It looks like such an accessory is quite unusual.
Similar decorations are found in many designer collections, in particular, among the accessories created by Jean-Paul Gaultier. Such phalanx rings look really original, although they look more appropriate on fashion catwalks than in everyday life.
With rocks
Like classic rings, phalanx rings are often complemented with precious or semi-precious stones. This decoration makes the ring more refined and attractive. Stones such as a ruby, sapphire, garnet or diamond can complement the ring. The stone can be selected both in appearance and in what value it traditionally has. In general, there are no restrictions, and you can choose the option that suits you.
It is not recommended to combine several rings with stones of different colors at once - this will not look entirely appropriate, especially if the colors of the stones do not match. So, for example, emeralds do not harmonize with rubies at all, but they look good with topazes or sapphires.
Instead of stones, a thin phalanx ring can also be decorated with a simple figurine made of the same material as the ring itself.The most common options are a heart, a star, a crescent, or an image of some animal. Such an accessory looks very cute and is best combined with plain rings with a smooth surface and without any extra patterns.
into two phalanxes
Wide and long rings, which are put on two phalanxes at once, also come into fashion. Usually this accessory is worn on the index finger. But, if you have a narrow palm with thin fingers, then such an ornament will look organic on any of them.
Often, such accessories are made in the form of some kind of figure - it can be a thin snake or a scorpion, braiding a finger with its long tail. Gothic rings on the phalanx are suitable for bold and bright girls, for example, unusual accessories made in the form of a skull or skeleton.
With chain
The ring on the phalanx, complemented by a thin chain, also looks impressive. Such a chain can connect several phalangeal rings or a ring and a bracelet. This accessory looks quite unusual and is somewhat reminiscent of old Indian accessories.
The chain is usually made from the same material as the ring itself. Small stones can supplement it, although most often this is considered superfluous.
Who will suit
Phalanx rings, thanks to the attention of designers, celebrities and bloggers, have gained great popularity. But they are not suitable for everyone. These rings look best on feminine and rather thin fingers. However, if you have too narrow palms and thin fingers, then it will be difficult for you to find the right accessory. On short and plump fingers, such rings will also not look very good.
It is also worth noting that such accessories look more appropriate in a youth look.Mature women do not like such jewelry, especially if it is cheap jewelry, and not high-quality jewelry made of gold or silver. However, if you are not limited by any stereotypes, such rings can be worn at any age.
Phalanx rings are an unusual trend of recent seasons. Choose models of the right width that will look good on your fingers, and please those around you with your good taste.
