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!

Drats, you caught me being lazy LOL. I did this post late last night so sorry for the lack of OOTD details! 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?!
i love delicate rings like this! of course i love loud ones, too, but for a thumb, this one is perfect!
Oh the thumb ring is so cute! I like adding additional rings every once and awhile, it’s fun!
Congrats to your BFF!
I love thumb rings….I have a gold one I wear all the time!

I 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!

I think you should! Dainty rings are the best 🙂
Congrats to all your friends! I wear my Irish Claddagh ring 24/7, so I can understand your obsession with your ring 🙂
Thanks— 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).
super pretty! i had a reaction to a ring and haven’t worn one since. maybe i should start back.
Oh no, sorry to hear that! Hopefully you can try one again some day because they are so cute!
rachel it sounds like you had an AWESOME weekend!! so pretty!!
I’m loving all of these photos Rachel. That ring is so perfect to wear every single day. Love that it’s dainty, and it still makes a statement.

Yes, 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!
Super cute! Love dainty rings!
Me too! 🙂 Thanks Meggan!
Just found your blog. Love that anthro sweater!
Thank you for stopping by! And thanks! I wish it was still available because everyone loves it and of course I bought it on super sale when there weren’t very many left 🙁
Rachel your hair looks so darling here :-). I havent tried the thumbs ring yet, are they comfy?
