One of my favorite jewelry pieces to wear are rings! It’s definitely something recent as I used to not like anything on my hands. But then, I had this engagement ring I never took off and then a wedding band and next thing I knew, I wanted to add more to my fingers. I like to change thing up, from minimal dainty rings I can stack to statement rings, cocktail rings, and vintage. Now, I can’t stop collecting them and I’m always in search of the next one I want to buy.
I figured I would share some of my favorite ring designers in this post! I know, there are so many brands and designers out there and vintage is a whole other category which we can touch on later but I made this Edit to make it a little less intimidating when shopping for rings to add to your collection.
I have bought three different stacking rings from AUrate and LOVE them. They have so many great rings with different metal options which is nice! You can chose between Gold Vermeil up to 18k gold. Also they have lots of options in Silver and Rose Gold if that’s more your vibe! These are the ones I purchased in 14k so I could wear them 24/7 and not worry about the metal fading.

Let’s get a little Luxe here. These are my dream rings! I still don’t own one but it’s on my wishlist. I had the pleasure of meeting the designers here in Hawaii (where Yves Spinelli grew up). Learning about the history and craft of his pieces made them even more special. They also are just absolutely stunning. My favorites are the Polaris YG , The Goop collaboration Tigris Ring, the Em Rata collaboration Adara Blanc Ring, and more realistically the Acacia MX. One day I will have one of these beauties!
I love Catbird pieces. I think because you can find some simple every day rings and also very unique rings with fine stones. They have a lot of in-house designed pieces and have added other designers like Wwake and Jennie Kwon! Kind of a nice one-stop-shop. My favorite rings from Catbird are The Sleeping Beauty Ring, this cute little Twisted Stacker Ring, and the Grand Cygnet Ring which is a great present since you can get it personalized!
“For Teresita and Gabriela Artigas, everything begins and ends with family. The Artigas sisters find joy and inspiration in the small details of everyday life…” Love this sister dup behind Gabriela Artigas. They make such beautiful statement rings that are elegant and classic with a modern twist. Just stunning. If you haven’t heard of them before, I highly recommend you go drool over their site! My favorite rings of theirs are the Disc Signet Ring, the Twin Tusk Ring with Half White Pavé, and the Cigar Band Ring with White Pavé.
I’ve loved Sophie Bille Brahe for so long! She makes some incredible earrings but her rings are divine as well. Her pieces are so dreamy to me, like if they came straight out of a fairytale. Like a ring Prince Charming would have proposed to Cinderella with. My favorite rings are the Ocean Ensemble, Plein des Etoiles, and this insane ring the Escargot Ensemble.
6. Foundrae
“Authentic. Classic. Personal. Autobiographical. These are a few of the words used to describe the Foundrae collection, which is more than jewelry: they are modern heirlooms, ones that allow the wearer to express something highly personal to the world.”
Foundrae’s rings are very unique. I love how chunky they are without looking excessive. Even with being on the thicker side, I would still love to wear two or three at a time! My favorite rings of theirs are the Wholeness Cigar Band, the Air Wide Band, and the If Not Now Then When Baguette Band.
