Fantastic Armor Ring For Your Finger

finger rings

The wonder of the internet never ceases to amaze me and whilst searching for some jewellery that I could buy as a gift for a friend I discovered an armor ring and quite frankly was blown away by what I saw. So, if you, like me wanted something that is dramatically different and is sure to wow, then I think that if you take a look you are bound to have the same reaction.

It is not often that you come across something so inspiring that you just sit and stare at what is in front of you and that is exactly what happened to me. I really am so excited by these armor rings they just have to be the up and coming fashion must have for sure.

They seem to have been confined to the likes of people who follow the Goth style of dress but, I have to say that I think that they are much too classy and stylish to remain locked in that particular dress code for long.

Nothing against Goths, just, hey what about sharing these amazing pieces of jewellery?

If you want to create a bit of interest, I can promise that from the first time that you wear one you will be inundated by the, wow where did you get that question more times than you can count. I was totally stunned by the amount of curiosity my new bit of jewellery created.

If your perception of a ring was round and maybe containing a stone of some sort you would not be wrong but, I think that you may well have to reassess that particular idea once you see some of the awesome styles and designs of these amazing finger decorations.

To slip one of these babies on kind of takes you back in your mind and conjures up images of a time of knights of old and myths and tales of dragons, spells and sorcery such is the impact of the intricate scroll work and artistry that goes into them.

What I find most amazing is the fact that the underlying quality belies the value for money that you get.

When you think that they tend to be made of both hard wearing pewter or sterling silver and each piece can cover up to the second joint or just under the nail on your finger (depending on the style that you choose). Each one individually jointed to work together with your own flexing and extension and the natural movement of your hand that workmanship alone should cost far more than you will actually pay.

To stumble across a fantastic armor ring that is truly a unique work of art was such a eureka moment and not only was my friend slightly speechless on opening the box but, I now have some of my own.

Photography and especially Digital Photography has come such a long way in the past few years. This means taking really great pictures can certainly be achieved by absolutely everyone. Even the majority of SLR Digital Cameras come with Auto mode, which means some astounding photos are only the click of a button away.

There is a ring upon my finger. It is a symbol. To most, it is simply a symbol of marriage, but to me it is a symbol that I have a wonderful, amazing, loving and beautiful wife that I probably don’t deserve and a love between my wife and I that is the strongest bond that I know.

Swastika Ring

This is the hand of a man called Krishna, the owner of the ‘Surya Swastika’ Guesthouse in Pondicherry.

Krishna loves swastikas and feels that they grant him prosperity – by which, I understood that he meant material prosperity. He designed this diamond ring and had it made specially.

The deeper symbolism of this ancient symbol is that of ‘permanent spiritual victory’:
• Positive Swastikas
• Reclaim the Swastika

List Of 10 Classic Fashion Accessories

fashion accessories

Looking for accessories that might be missing from your wardrobe? Want to add a little “pizazz” to the mix? Here’s a look at some classic fashion accessories, not including shoes or jewelry.

A Wide Brimmed Hat

A wide-brimmed hat is both stylish and practical in keeping the elements at bay. A felt hat for winter will keep your head warm and the snow out of your face, while a straw hat for summer prevent sunburn and provides instant shade.

Dark Sunglasses

Sunglasses help keep the sun out of your eyes and can immediately increase your “cool” quotient. Find frames that work with your face shape, and go cheap if you like variety, tend to lose them, or have small kids at home who can’t resist playing with your stuff.

A Silk Scarf

A large, square silk scarf with a beautiful pattern can last for years and enjoy endless uses.

Fold it various ways and use it as a headband, wind protection for your hair, a splash of color around your neck, wrist, or handbag, or even as a belt. While scarves go in and out of popularity, they’re never out of style.

Gloves

Once upon a time, hand touching was considered too intimate between strangers, so women wore gloves of various lengths and styles throughout the day and evening to prevent inappropriate touch. Today, we wear gloves mostly for warmth, but they have much more use than that: they prevent blisters in sports, protect hands when gardening, and look elegant with evening attire. Wear them and draw comments.

A 1″ Leather Belt

Belts, like scarves, go in and out of style, but a dark, 1″ leather belt is a classic that will last you for years with proper care.

Wear it with jeans, dresses, skirts, and shorts to fill those belt loops and finish the ensemble.

Thigh-High Stockings

Women have worn hosiery for a thousand years to keep legs warm, and in the last century, to make legs look good with shorter hems. Wear thigh high stockings to add polish and keep you cool in summer, comfortable during pregnancy, and forever sexy to your man.

Trouser Socks

Wearing closed-toe shoes without socks or hosiery will make your foot sweat and your shoes damp and smelly. So don’t do it. Use trouser socks with pants and jeans to wick away foot moisture, polish your look, and extend the life of your shoes.

A Leather Handbag

A dark, well-constructed leather bag in a simple style can take you to most day functions three seasons a year. If you opt for a color that goes with most of your wardrobe (black, brown, taupe), you can invest a lot, use it a lot, and get your money’s worth by the time you have to replace.

Straw Handbag or Tote

A flat-bottom straw handbag or tote in a simple style will look fresh and appropriate with most of your summer-time wardrobe including – quite possibly – your business wear. Avoid cutesy things like beaded animals or sea creatures if you use it for work and want to be taken seriously.

Evening Bag

Evening is a time for dressing up and being elegant, so put on your heels and leave your big daytime bag at home. Evening clutches need to be large enough to carry credit cards, money, lipstick, and your keys, and can have a short chain handle that can be tucked in or left out. If you invest in one dark one and one light (or metallic) one, they should see you through years of use. I have a beautiful pearl bag my mother carried in the ’60′s that I still use a few times a year.

Now if you see things on this list that you don’t or won’t use, don’t buy them. That’s fine. But if you’re trying to fill out your wardrobe and cover all your accessory bases, use these as a guideline to fill in the holes.
