Declare independence and show off your style with a right hand diamond ring.  No wedding required. have become fashionable because they break from tradition and bring with them a new message: I'm a successful woman. Most of our right hand diamond rings are made from 14 karat gold.  This means these rings are designed with durable and beautiful metals, perfect for everyday wear.  You’ll want a solid metal for this type of ring, in gold or platinum, much like a wedding ring. We at Van Scoy Diamonds have a few suggestions on how to pick the perfect right hand ring so that your style shines through. Go Subtle A right hand ring doesn’t have to yell.  It can make a quiet statement and simply add quiet elegance to your wardrobe. Pieces of jewelry add splash and accent to the clothing you wear, so to get that calm, sophisticated look with your outfit, reduce the amount of jewelry you’re wearing. [caption id="attachment_484" align="alignright" width="300"] A subtle right hand diamond ring[/caption] Try wearing a right hand diamond ring with a smaller band and couple it with a small pendant or two on narrow chains.  If the pieces are set in silver and have flashy diamonds, wear black to make them the center of your outfit. Unless it’s your wedding, silver is hard to wear with white, so go with contrast if you prefer white clothing.  Gold or pink right-hand diamond rings work perfectly. Go Wild The flip side of subtle, going wild means throwing your right hand high and showing off your independence. If you want wild, choose a right-hand diamond ring with more color and contrast in the band.  Let it stand out on your hand. You can draw attention to it, and all of your jewelry, by layering other pieces of jewelry that don’t quite match.  Don’t worry.  The fashion police won’t arrest you.

For example, if your right hand ring is shiny, pair it with another shiny piece of jewelry like a watch or bracelet of a different color.  Add two similar necklaces and you’re good to go.  The pieces don’t have to match so long as they work.
