Ring for the New Year
The magical holiday of New Year is approaching! No matter how much we say we’ve grown up, everyone still gets excited about gifts like a child. Below we’ll try to help you choose and suggest which ring would be most suitable for the holiday.
Which ring to wear for New Year
New Year’s Eve is perhaps the brightest and most colorful holiday. People carefully plan their look, choose outfits and accessories for it. After all, every woman wants to showcase her individuality and impeccable taste. It’s believed that for the next 12 months to pass successfully and easily, you must consider the New Year symbol when creating your festive style. According to the Chinese calendar, the next guardian will be the white metal ox. What rings will not only adorn ladies’ fingers but also attract luck and the favor of this noble animal?
Determining the appearance of the accessory
Let’s start with the fact that metal jewelry will make an excellent addition to your chosen New Year outfit. After all, this is the element of the Ox. It’s recommended to choose rings made of silver, platinum, palladium, or white gold, as these shades are best suited for the main night of the year. Light metal pairs perfectly with any outfit, refreshes the look, and adds lightness.
Pay attention to the appearance of the rings. Silver, like white gold, should be chosen with rhodium plating. This is a precious metal from the platinum group that has an attractive shine and possesses unique protective properties. Such jewelry won’t darken over time and won’t need regular cleaning. Rhodium gives gold its familiar white shade, as the alloy itself still has a slight yellow tint. Jewelry covered with this metal cannot be dipped in regular jewelry cleaning solutions to avoid damaging the protective top layer. Use special polishing cloths, foam, or sprays for delicate care of rhodium-plated items.
New Year rings: which design to choose
The Eastern horoscope describes the Ox as a practical, calm, and conservative animal. If you want to appease the New Year symbol and choose jewelry that would be to its liking, then it’s better to save vintage and elaborate ring models for the next celebration. Now, classic ring designs, geometric shapes, and minimalism with accents on inserts (stones, enamel, ceramics) will be relevant.
If you choose a large or wide ring, let it be smooth with flowing clear lines and minimal additional details. Such jewelry is considered independent and should be the only one on your hand. Otherwise, the rings will “compete” with each other, creating a cluttered effect.
Thin rings can not only neighbor on different fingers but also complement each other on one. For this, choose several models with similar designs. Inserts of different colors are allowed, but in that case, they should be of the same or similar shape (cut). Don’t forget about the relevance of chosen rings in everyday life. The holidays will end, and overly bright and unusual jewelry will likely go into the jewelry box until the next celebration. To prevent this, buy accessories that match your everyday style.
Convenience and practicality or luxury and extravaganza
Not all ring models are designed for long and regular wear. A variant with a large, high-set stone is a bright accent and soloist in the look. Such a ring will look superb in photographs and attract attention with its bright shine. But in practice, it’s not always convenient. This jewelry cannot be worn under gloves, so this fact will need to be considered if you plan to celebrate New Year away from home. Also, pay attention to the fact that finger size can change in the cold, consider this when choosing ring size.
Always keep the ring under close attention. If at least one setting is caught and bent, the stone can fall out and be lost. Try not to hit the jewelry against corners and hard objects. This especially applies to models with voluminous decorative parts and large stones. The first can simply break off, and the second can crack or completely split.
If your outfit is made from slippery or thin fabrics, choose items with smooth surfaces. This can be checked by running your fingertip or a piece of material over the item. If you feel roughness and irregularities, then such jewelry is better paired with less delicate outfits. Otherwise, every contact between the ring and fabric threatens snags. If the accessory is complemented by one stone, then the best setting option in this case is bezel setting. The insert is securely fixed in metal that tightly embraces it along the contour, not allowing the decorative element to fall out or catch on anything.
Which stones in rings will bring luck in the new year
Avoid red and coral shades, as the New Year symbol is the ox. If you’re the happy owner of rubies and garnets, save them for the next holiday. It’s better to treat yourself to models with colorless inserts. Green and blue shade stones, cream and pastel palettes are allowed. Pay attention to rings with natural semi-precious stones: amethyst, agate, topaz, quartz, and tourmaline. Lovers of elite jewelry are recommended to choose diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires (especially cornflower blue shade).
