Chunky rings

Manda

My uniform ring is a simple white gold band with one dark pearl. Simple and elegant.

I've never been bold enough to wear chunky rings. Always thought I couldn't make it work or that they look too awkward. However, I've been drawn to them lately. I've only been looking and not yet purchased on.

What finger do you wear your chunky rings on - your index, middle or ring finger?
Models in catolouges seem to mostly have them on their ring finger. I find this looks weird on me, especially with the all round chunky rings and they look best on my middle finger.

As for what I'm liking at the moment - these two rings might need to go on my wish list.

Manda, I love rings!! I have some "chunky' rings and I wear them on either my middle finger or my ring finger. It depends on size, balance, etc. Most are worn on my middle finger tho. When I try on a ring, I usually try it on both fingers and see how it looks in the mirror... I find it quite easy to chose which finger it looks best on. These two rings are stunning.

Another vote for try them on and see, Manda! I love the blue ring you've pictured.

I LOVE larger rings, to the degree where something small makes me feel bare. Large rings are one of my signature styles. It started with my mom, who had very fine boned, pretty hands with long fingers. I have her hands, and I started borrowing her oblong rings when I was young so I became accustomed to the look long ago.

Lately, I've branched out into wider/chunkier rings as well, and there are so many fun ones out there! I wear them on either my ring finger or my middle -- mostly, it depends on fit because the two are such different sizes. I defer to my middle finger a lot, and I like how larger rings look on the middle finger.

I've even worn rings on my index finger and thumb, but not recently. Experiment and have fun! That second ring you posted is especially beautiful.

I'm always unsure about chunky rings, because I have "square" hands with short fingers. I would wear them in a heartbeat if my hands looked differently. I like the second one best!

I have big hands with very long fingers and I wear exclusively big and chunky rings: anything small and delicate is lost on me. I usually wear them on ring finger but only because I cannot fit a ring on a middle finger.
These ones are very beautiful!

TEAM chunky rings all the way. I cannot have enough of them. I'd rather have 10 "cheap" fun rings than a diamond ring. I'm not a diamond snob. I find that I wear the rings on either ring or middle finger depending on weight. Really top heavy rings work better on middle finger.

I LOVE ring #2 are they swarovski? I have a few of these pieces. I have a necklace that I really want the matching ring too.

Thanks ladies for all your comments. Seems there is a mix of fingers that you wear your chunky rings on.

Deborah - Until the other day, I had never thought to try it on my middle finger. I've always been a wear your ring on you ring finger girl. It just never occurred to me when something didnt work on my ring finger to try another finger!

Lynne - I have tried these ones on! Twice now. First time on my ring finger and with the bulk on either side of the rings my hand looked very weird. Must say I was pretty disappointed. I ventured past the store again later that day and quickly tried them on my middle finger. Only because the display ring they had was way too big for my middle finger. So I will go back again and try it on properly.

Janet - Thanks for sharing your experience and the advice to have fun.

Teri - Well picked. Yes, the rings are Swarovski. I saw the ring you want on the website. Although, not in store. What necklace do you have?

Both of these rings are beautiful. As Janet, Astrid and Terri have said, #2 is stunning. I really love it. The purple, blue and green hues are really fun. (My purple obsession shining through). I can't wait to try it on again.

These are beautiful!

Like Astrid, I have short, square fingers, so big rings look awful on me.

But my mother adored big rings and wore them beautifully. Just costume stuff; we couldn't afford real gems.

My daughter has GORGEOUS fingers (I can say this objectively and without undue vanity because she is adopted and didn't inherit them from me!) and I hope my mom has saved some of her old rings for Maia to wear in a few years' time!

I love big rings and I've worn them on my ring, middle, and index finger...depending on the size of the ring and the look I'm going for.

I L-O-V-E big rings and rings in general so my answer would be ALL fingers! XD But i know the "cool" girl look is on your index fingers. So if i don't have multiple rings on I either do index or middle to take up space. >.>
