I’m debuting some new jewelry at the trunk show tonight<\/a>. One of my personal favorites is the Siobhan Ring. This ring was inspired by a story that my friend Siobhan (pronounced “shi-vawn,” not “cee-oh-bahn”) told me about her mother. Back in the day, Mum collected old gold wedding bands and wore all of them stacked together on every finger. I’ve always loved the look of stacking rings when they’re stacked, but I don’t care for how insignificant the rings look on their own. I also think it’s a drag to have to buy 10 rings to create a nice look; obviously I’m not as patient or creative as Siobhan’s mother. So! Here is the Siobhan Perma-Stacked Stacking Ring.<\/p>\n

From the front, it looks like a stack of skinny rings.<\/p>\n

Surprise! The rings are all attached at just one point in the back. You can still move each one independently; you just can’t separate (or lose) the little bands.<\/p>\n

I enjoy showing this to people by holding the ring by just one band and allowing the others to swing down. Everyone jumps, expecting little rings to fly all over the place. My dream is to have four of these for myself to wear on four fingers of one hand. I’ve really been loving four rings on one hand ever since I started wearing the swear rings<\/a> I did for Christian Francis Roth.<\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t worry that I’m not giving Siobhan’s mother her due. Before I did the Siobhan Ring, I did a silver Perma-Stacked Stacking Ring and named that one Evelina in honor of Mum. This one is all one piece. No swinging action. Evelina’s not that type of lady!<\/p>\n
