It is impossible to imagine any female outfit that does not include jewelry to complement, and sometimes complete the image. One of such jewelry is decorative and precious rings.
Features
Rings in modern society are very popular and, perhaps, you can not find a single girl who at least once in her life did not wear a ring.
And if the choice of male models is very limited, then female ones have an incredible number of varieties, which allows not only to surprise people around every day, but also to complement absolutely any image, regardless of style.
Consider the most unusual, most beautiful and most popular ring models.
Models
There are many kinds of rings and each has its own characteristics that are characteristic only of this model.
For example, an American engagement ring is something extremely simple, but at the same time, very stylish and organically fits into any outfit. The American is a wide model without any decor, the surface of which is matte and does not have a glossy sheen.
Among engagement rings, models without inserts are quite popular, because not all are fans of decorative and precious stones. Many prefer smooth models that, unlike an American ring, have an attractive, polished glossy surface.
Not so long ago, a new trend brought old rings into fashion that can become not only a beautiful everyday accessory, but also a worthy decoration of an evening look.If it is not possible to purchase an original antique product, there are copies of jewelry that are available at lower prices.
Designer models are especially popular. The thing is that in our time, many girls are in pursuit of branded products and are ready to go to great lengths to become the owner of one of them.
Baby
For little fashionistas, there are also quite a few options for rings, decorated with different details that girls like so much.
Popular models with a heart made of decorative stone or special plastic. Materials for children's rings are taken based on the age category, so that the kids do not get hurt if any part breaks, forming a sharp end.
In the manufacture of rings for little girls, manufacturers adhere to a certain color scheme, which, as a rule, especially attracts them. Used pink, lilac and purple shades. A little less popular are orange, yellow and red.
Another fairly common decorative element decorating children's rings is a butterfly. Funny bright moth is applied as an image, made in the form of a separate figure or decorative stone.
No less popular are floral decorations for children's models. The flower located in the center of the finger, consisting of several petals of different colors and the middle of a neutral shade, looks beautiful. For teenage girls, there are more elegant models with roses and plain small flowers.
For a girl
In modern society, it is difficult to meet a young girl who does not wear a ring. But young people prefer not to use standard models, but are looking for new and unusual options.
For example, some models are no longer worn on the usual fingers - index, middle and ring fingers, but worn on the thumb or little finger.
Girls wearing rings on their thumb usually try to draw more attention to their persona by making unusual adjustments to their appearance. But the obvious cannot be denied - the rings on the thumb, although unusual, look very beautiful, especially if presented in the form of unusual models.
The model looks unusual and spectacular, as if wrapping around a finger, and a product with thin delicate thread looks incredibly feminine and sophisticated.
A product worn on the little finger, no matter how bright and unusual they may be, will still stand out much less and are not so striking.
In ancient times, it was believed that the ring on the little finger of a young girl suggests that she is in search of love and longs for success in her personal life, attracting them in this way.
For women
Adult women are more selective in the choice of rings, because they prefer products more sophisticated and elegant. For example, a well-known cat-eye model that looks very beautiful and successfully complements any outfit.
Some women, especially those who follow fashion trends, prefer more popular models. For example, a product in the form of animals, gently hugging a finger or a daring model with a snake.
By the way, models of rings with animals, sometimes, consist of sets that include two or three specimens, one of which is presented in the form of a head, the other in the form of paws, and the third in the form of a magnificent tail.
Simple variations of rings look no less beautiful and elegant, the design of which does not differ in any unusual ideas, but is limited to modest curls, precious stones of different sizes and the width of the product itself. Classical models, in general, are decorated with one stone, and the engagement classic has just a glossy surface without decor.
Among all the wedding models, one can especially distinguish a flat ring with a matte surface - it looks unusual and stylish.
Not all women like to wear rings on their hands, but it is always nice to brag with a stylish accessory or an expensive gift, so many of them prefer to wear products on a chain made of the same material and matching in color with the ring itself.
On thin female fingers, long models of rings located along one or two phalanges of the finger, or along its entire length, look very beautiful. A long model may seem uncomfortable, but only at first glance, since it is equipped with special mechanisms that allow you to easily bend your finger.
The kiss ring, decorated with two small balls, the bases of which are intertwined, has again regained its former popularity, thereby forming a peculiar kind of kiss.
Large models are suitable as an unusual decor. An ageless classic among these is a ring decorated with a large decorative stone, but if you want to choose something more unusual, designers advise you to pay attention to a product with a clock, a rotating middle or a decorative brush.
Materials
Rings are made of completely different materials, depending on which the price category of the finished product will be determined.
The most affordable and perhaps the most common among decorative rings are items from the costume jewelry class, which are made from various alloys of metals that do not have any special value.
For example, brass and bronze are often used. A special alloy is used, obtained on the basis of tin, which is called a computer, as well as various alloys made of nickel, iron, copper, aluminum and zinc.
Silver items are also quite affordable, which look pretty attractive, but carry some difficulties with them. The fact is that in the absence of proper care, the product quickly loses its original appearance and becomes unusable.
Rings made of titanium and platinum, as well as from various alloys containing particles of these metals, are considered very strong and wear-resistant. Such models are unpretentious and do not require special care, but if a platinum product is easy to cut off from your finger or stretch, then with a titanium one - some difficulties may arise.
The most popular and familiar material for the manufacture of precious rings is gold, which is not limited to one option, and therefore the range is quite wide. In addition to the test, gold differs in appearance and color, being divided into three main types: yellow, white and pink.
Stones
Among the decor, there are quite a few features that affect the appearance of the product. The most popular among jewelry decorating rings are diamonds.
Most often, in the singular, a diamond is used to decorate an engagement ring. The most common stones in such cases are 0.5 and 1.6 carats. They look quite restrained and neatly adorn the ladies finger.
To decorate other product options, a path laid out from a placer of small diamonds or other precious stones can be used.
By the way, speaking of other stones, special attention should be paid to a silver product with carnelian. This is the name of a special red-orange mineral, which is considered to be a kind of amulet of creative people, bringing them special luck in trading their works.
A ring with rock crystal looks very beautiful, which from afar can easily be confused with a diamond, if not for its impressive size and differences in the number of faces, which the diamond has more.
Models of rings with diamond edges do not have a decoration in the form of stones, but are decorated in a rather curious way. The surface of the ring has many shallow notches representing any pattern.Notches are applied using special diamond tools with a particularly sharp tip, which is why the technique has the corresponding name.
In addition to the mentioned decor options, models with a tiger eye, with lapis lazuli and with moissanite are also popular. And branded products are most often decorated with a swarovski crystal.
Manufacturers
Among manufacturers of rings, there are quite a lot of both domestic and foreign brands. But if domestic ones are not so popular, the names of foreign brands are well known and are in great demand.
Almost every girl does not dream of becoming the owner of an elegant ring from Tiffany & Co. The brand presents many classic options with sophisticated decor, giving the product notes of femininity and tenderness.
Absolutely any girl who received a Cartier product as a gift will undoubtedly feel like the heroine of a beautiful fairy tale, which is not surprising, because the rings have a truly royal look and a corresponding value.
Chanel and Versace decorative products are also popular, and among the Russian jewelry houses the most famous is the Bronnitsky Jeweler.
Styles

In addition to religious stylistic features, temporary ones are also distinguished - rings in retrostyle look incredibly beautiful. The most popular jewelry retrostyle jewelry is a cameo ring.
Fashion trends
Everyone knows that fashion trends are quite variable and unstable, but some of their trends do not leave the top positions of fashion trends for several seasons. For example, rings for the whole finger, not for the first year, surprise fashionistas with their unusual appearance, and designers are striving to create more and more unusual models.
Such a model is called the phalanx or All Finger Ring, and is characterized by the fact that it is worn, as a rule, on the index or middle finger.
Recently, handmade products are gaining more and more popularity, therefore, the demand for exclusive rings made in a single copy has definitely grown several times.

Among the popular models, special attention should be paid to lovers' rings, which are made not just in the same style, but have the same theme, and some even complement each other.

Pair rings with the same appearance are popular, the feature of which are different inscriptions. In the manufacture of such handmade products, the customer himself can indicate the inscription that will need to be applied to the surface of the ring.
Rings with an element of a peculiar puzzle look quite interesting. The male model is decorated with a hole of a certain shape, most often in the shape of a heart, and the female model with a stone of the corresponding shape and size. If you connect them together, the stone will quietly fit in the hole.
