I saw this close-up shot of Kate Lanphear’s to-die-for Lanvin cocktail ring on Jak & Jil and had to re-post:

With a piece of statement jewelry like this, you could wear nothing else but a brown paper bag and still look chic. Of course, after purchasing this lovely piece of jewelry, a paper bag might be all you can afford to pair with it. Luckily, there are many awesome cocktail rings out there that are totally affordable. I love jewelry that can make an entire outfit with little thought or effort. Pair a ring like this with a little black dress or slacks and a t-shirt, and there is really no need to further accessorize… or wear makeup, or brush your hair.

I love this Swarovski® crystal large stone and pave ring. It’s perfectly over-the-top, kind of like the Lanphear’s Lanvin ring. I would save this ring for a special event or chic cocktail party.

This turquoise and gold ring could be worn both dressed up and down. It would look just as great both paired with jeans and a white blouse, a white sundress or a little black dress and heels.
