Midi Ring Love

20140924_172356

Although midi rings have been a trend that has been around for what feels like forever, I feel that this is a look that isn’t going to be going anywhere for quite a while yet. I’ve always been a daily wearer of a ring of some sort, whether a simple gold band or an oversized statement ring, and I can’t help but feel almost naked without one on my hand.

When I came across the midi ring I was a bit unsure of them. I considered buying a few when on a shopping trip with one of my close friends, but when she saw me pick one up she quickly turned her nose up at it, putting me off a bit. However, she wasn’t going to be the one wearing them was she?! So days later I went back to the shop and made my purchase, not looking back.

I think midi rings look pretty darn cool. Although I’m still a fan of just wearing a simple, normal sized ring on a daily basis, I feel like midi rings are a nice addition to dress up your accessory choice a bit. I see midi rings as a modern take on the classic ring, and really add a different edgy look to your jewellery. I’m personally a big fan of this style and simply can’t get enough of them! My collection still remains quite small, but I definitely plan on expanding it in the near future.

I don’t know what it is, but I find something so satisfying about owning a piece of jewellery that you know that no one else owns (or is unlikely to at least). I love jewellery that specifically looks of an older era, and I think the right pieces can add a really nice touch to a more modern outfit.

Recently my Grandad let my sister and I loose on my Grandma’s jewellery box. I never met my Grandma, so this gave me opportunity to get my hands on some lovely one of a kind pieces, while gaining the sentimental attachment which would inevitably come with them. I can’t help but think there’s a story behind each item and imagine when or where they would’ve been worn in the past. Every day wear or for a special occasion? Was it a favourite piece of jewellery of theirs? Call me sad, but I just think there’s something so lovely about owning a fashion item that has the potential to have a bit of story behind it, whilst being something unique owned just by you.
