Pinky rings started out as a functional piece of jewelry. Sealing official correspondence with wax seals was its purpose, not ornamentation. Then over time it became an aristocratic symbol of lineage. Over Queen Victoria’s reign, women also started wearing pinky rings to indicate “self-love” or “disinterest in attachment”. Slowly over the 20th century, it became an important piece of alt-culture to denote belonging to a group or a club. Now I feel like it just signifies individuality, a break from the norm, a small reminder of our own power, a reclaiming of self. Pinky rings were and remain one of the coolest piece of jewelry humans came up with.
This pinky ring needed to be a twist on a classic. Clean lines, split shank on one side to contrast with the solid band on the other. Crafted in 14k yellow gold and holding a small but mighty lagoon tourmaline of 0.56cts. Currently the ring is sized to 5 but can be resized. Please allow a week additional processing time.
Gemstones: Emerald-cut, Afghan, Lagoon Tourmaline, 0.56cts
Metal: Solid 14k yellow gold
