Showcasing the Rings from the Rebecca Collection

Bee Jewellery's Rebecca Collection includes a compilation of rings with large gems, among them diamond, sapphire, emerald and ruby. These rings are created to make an impact and they are meant to grab attention or punctuate an ensemble. This collection is for someone who wants to make a dramatic impression with her appearance, with the rings doubling as cocktail pieces and statement pieces.

Statement rings have been part of the trend for many years. They bring out the fun in wearing pieces that are bright, big, shapely and colourful. They are meant to improve visual interest, as these deliver the impact a woman wants to achieve with her look. Since the rings are designed either large or colourful, wearing these may require a creative edge.

So, how does one put the oomph to rings like these?

First, remember that when wearing statement rings, most of the time "less is more" applies. You want it to draw attention, but if you already have one ring with a huge blue topaz stone on one of your fingers, wearing a few more would be overkill. In the same way, wearing huge bangles or a flashy golden watch can clash with this ring. So, before stepping out of the house, check whether or not your look appears too heavy and gaudy around the wrist, hand and arm.

Second, provide a balance. Your ring should complement the rest of your jewellery, not compete for attention. So, if you have a statement ring, you can probably wear a daintier necklace and then a bold pair of earrings. You cannot have all of these jewellery so ostentatiously displayed.

Third, keep your hands and most especially your nails neat. Because people's gaze will be directed towards the ring, your fingers would also be noticed. Thus, these should be well groomed. A polish is not necessary, but if you can get one, you should choose colours that will be able to highlight the ring's beauty even further.

Fourth, the ring should fit right, of course! The design of the ring will have less impact if its fit is loose. You could get uncomfortable having to adjust the ring often, or worse, you could lose this completely.

Lastly, the ring should also blend with what you're wearing. Making a statement will not work if the ring and your wardrobe are clashing with its design and colours. It should all come together and tie the whole look down.
