The pinky ring has a long history. It was worn in the past as stamps of power and status, or even to convey messages. In Victorian times, for example, a ring could be worn on the left pinky to mean that one was uninterested in marriage. Today, however, our jewels can take on a much wider range of expression.
More than just coded messages—though that could also be part of the appeal—the little accessory takes on a fresh sartorial purpose today. Small but impactful, these jewels are a delicate way to add a finishing touch to an outfit. Whether that’s a full-on stack of jewels on your hands completed with a petite ring on the little finger, or a pinky ring itself worn as a statement piece.
Think of it, almost, as a subtler counterpart to a cocktail ring. A kind of jewel that’s interesting and beautiful, yet subtle enough—smaller, by nature of being worn on the last finger—to incorporate everyday.
Look beyond a classic band or signet and explore new silhouettes or combinations of gemstones. From sculptural shapes like Brazilian-born jeweller Fernando Jorge’s sprays of rubellites, to the joys of colourful gemstones in designs from Minka Jewels and Akaila Reid.
