This weekend was pretty amazing… my boyfriend’s best friend got married and we were both a part of the wedding party and it was such an honor to be. It was such a beautiful wedding and a tearful event… so much love and surrounded by so many friends and family! Then that night, as we were celebrating, I got a call from my best friend telling me she just got engaged!!!!!!!!! Weddings, engagements, etc. all involve rings, the symbol of eternity and love. and well I might not be quite at that stage in my life, I have always worn a ring as an accessory.
When I visited Ireland while studying abroad, I bought a Celtic ring that has not left my right hand since I bought it. I just love it and it the perfect ring to always wear. Well, lately I have been loving seeing different ways to accessorize with rings and wanted to add another ring that I could always keep on and go with everything! I was so happy to hear from Modern Design, a custom, unique jewelry store in LA’s jewelry district. They sent me one of their tungsten rings, and I AM IN LOVE with the thin, delicate band of this style and how well it goes with EVERYTHING. I ordered a size that would fit on my thumb because I recently saw my friend Zoe wearing a thick gun metal ring on her thumb and it looked amazing.
This really is the perfect ring to add to my hand for every day wear! It has held up so well under all conditions and I keep it on to shower, etc. If you are looking for a sturdy, stylish ring, definitely check out their collection!

The top is actually a swimsuit cover up from Target and the sweater is old from Anthro! The necklace is from Chloe & Isabel. I am going to update my post with the links or I can email you a link to the necklace and cover up if you want?!

July 29, 2013 at 5:36 PMI wish I was more into rings because they look so pretty! I’ve been seeing so many adorable heart rings and thin gold rings but the only rings I wear are my engagement and wedding rings. Maybe I should just take the plunge!

Rachel
July 29, 2013 at 7:18 PMCongrats to all your friends! I wear my Irish Claddagh ring 24/7, so I can understand your obsession with your ring 🙂
Rachel
July 30, 2013 at 12:22 PMThanks— it was such an exciting weekend —- and my sister’s bachelorette party this this weekend so everything is coming at once! And yes… Definitely obsessed 🙂 I freak out if I take it off even if it is just two seconds to clean it (my celtic ring has enough holes in it to get some soap residue even though I might only take it off once a month).

July 30, 2013 at 12:20 PMYes, exactly! That’s why I love it too! And I love rings but sometimes they get in the way. This one is perfect because it is just there I don’t have to take it off to wash my hands or have it clunk on anything!
