Sasha Drucker
How do you wear your rings?
“I typically wear gold, and usually around 7 rings at a time. I have a lot of rings, so I like to mix up the combinations whenever I put them on.”
What inspired you to start accessorizing with these jewelry pieces?
“Some of my friends wear rings daily, so I decided to spice up my outfits with them as well. I try to remember to wear them, but I end up getting tired of taking them off every time I wash my hands.”
Recommendations you have for future ring-wearers?
“You should figure out what kind of metal you prefer first, and then just get a huge pack from a store such as H&M so that you can experiment and decide which ones you find cute.”
Owen Noble
How do you wear your rings?
“Silver, and usually on my pointer fingers. I normally match them with the value (brightness) of the rest of my outfit. I have used hot glue on a large ring before, to make it fit, but only on one that I bought online since I couldn’t try it on beforehand.”
Where do you get your rings?
“I used to work at the zoo, and I got a ton there. Sometimes I get some from thrift stores, and also Amazon and eBay. I particularly love the ones from my job; my coworkers and I basically all have matching rings. We’re great friends, and the rings remind me of them.”
Recommendations you have for future ring-wearers?
“I recommend that you figure out what size you are before you buy anything. When buying online, maybe get one a size larger than needed because it’s a lot easier to make them smaller than larger.”
Kendall Keshen
How do you wear your rings?
“I usually wear silver rings, with two on each hand. I can go for two weeks wearing them without taking them off. They simply show what my little favorite things are, and they kind of show what I value.”
Where do you get your rings?
“I get them from Sea Candy Jewelry. My uncle also made me one of my rings.”
Recommendations you have for future ring-wearers?
“If you buy a ring, make sure it’s something that won’t get caught or snag on things in your daily routine; make sure that you can be comfortable to wear them everyday.”
Izzy Regeer
How do you wear your rings?
“I like silver, but gold is also nice. I have 14 of them right now, but I would like more for a better variety. I wear them on most of my fingers, pairing them with black and blue items of clothing. I got into rings as I kept on seeing them on Instagram, and I thought that they were really special and beautiful. I think that they look really nice on special occasions.”
Where do you get your rings?
“I normally get mine from a H&M store.”
Recommendations you have for future ring-wearers?
“I always make sure that they fit before I buy any. I would recommend, when people are looking into buying a ring, that they find the right size of their fingers. There are also so many different types of rings, so you can definitely find the one that you like the most. Just have fun with them!”
Molly Morouse
How do you wear your rings?
“Always gold– I love a little combination of gold and other colors, such as pink or green. I usually wear two on one hand and three on the other. I think rings just make any outfit look cooler. Plus, they really tie all the rest of the jewelry together!”
Where do you get your rings?
“I tend to get them from vintage stores and local jewelry businesses. A lot of my rings are passed down from family, like my mom, dad, and grandma. I wear one ring that my mom has had since she was 16, one from when my dad was in college, and one from my grandma who passed away. I love family jewelry.”
Recommendations you have for future ring-wearers?
“DO IT.”
Chloe Gidney
How do you wear your rings?
“I wear all gold and on my left hand, 2 on my pointer and middle fingers, and 2 on my middle and ring fingers on the right hand. They add a fun sparkle to any outfit.”
Where do you get your rings?
“I got my rings from Amazon, 14 Karats in LA, or I get them as presents.”
