Focusing on Rings

A ring has always been a special piece of jewellery for a woman. Rings are given or worn to signify status or events in our lives such as an engagement or marriage. An eternity ring, or anniversary ring is given to signify a long-standing relationship. And in times gone by, mourning rings might be worn including a lock of hair from a loved one.

In history there have been famous rings, such as the one worn by Lucrezia Borgia containing poison which was dropped into the drinks of unsuspecting rivals.

And today there are whole websites devoted to the huge and often gaudy celebrity engagement rings.

A woman can have many rings in different sizes and for different occasions and outfits. From bling and shiny for formal occasions with the little black dress to something more organic, sculptured or natural for casual wear.

All rings available on Ocean Style Jewellery are handmade from 99.9% solid silver and are all one of a kind. You can find our more about the range of one of a kind handmade rings at Ocean Style Jewellery by clicking HERE.

A Cherry Blossom Wedding

My Cherry Blossom band ring has been chosen to feature in this soft and feminine Sakura Wedding Treasury collection. I love the soft pink colours and the delicate flowers. Thank you for Glitter Bug Jewellery for putting this collection together and for including my item.
