Bitch, Make Your Own Wedding: The Rings!

You just got ENGAGED!!! 

Congrats! 

Styling your wedding rings should be fun & inspiring! 

You are going to be wearing them everyday after all ;-D

Here's my process, hope it helps get clarity with some of your ideas & style cravings!

LOVE your ring!  (*Pant*Pant* yes'm I do!)

OneGarnetGirl on Etsy made my White Topaz with Recycled Rose Gold band in a Brushed Finish for a Matte look.... ️Hubba Hubba!!!

We started thinking of what our wedding bands would look like, 

and I was craving sumpthin a lil stackish!

A special order: from Etsy again, can't find the link tho... 

A pair of blackened silver chevron arrows to flank my sparkler! 

It's a start...

Until we finally got to wear these babies!

We had a small custom jeweler make these Rose Gold Bands for us in a Brushed Finish to match.

Staying local for the Wedding Bands helped us keep within our Micro Budget. 

The Blackened finish slowly faded on my chevrons as expected... ;-)

Omg That was our BIG DAY!!!! 

I kept it simple at first, getting used to the feel of the thickness of the wedding band. 

Silver spacer I made from a piece from another ring...

I took this ring that I never wore... It was a bit pinchy...

Leathah Man to the rescue! Snip snip....

Easy Peasy!

Hammered & filed the edges so it would fit just under the lip of my engagement ring.

Happy lil spacer ring in Italian Sterling Silver, it has a Sandblasted Finish, giving it a pebbley look.

Now I can easily wear the remnants of the old pinchy ring! YaY!

Added the silver chevrons, grouped at one end...

What am I doing in this picture.... ? lol 

Took away the chevrons, and added a faceted silver band...

Oooooooo....

Chevrons are BACK! Phew! I missed them...

BOOM! My fave! Chevs, & Facets, & Bands, OH MY! 

Loving the mix of metals, warm, cool, warm, cool!!!

I've found for my own comfort, having each stackable band a lil on the big side, so that if/when my hands may get puffy & tired, etc... they will still flex & bend with me & can be removed easily ;-)

Having a rockin Ring is sometimes just the beginning of the creative jewelry process that you have the opportunity to explore!

If you're like me, perfection lies in the possibilities.

The evolution of your look can happen at any time! 

Add some, take one away, switch it up and PLAY! 

:-D

Make wearing an Engagement Ring FUN! 

Make your Sparkler less Lonely!

Make a Ring Party!!!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!!

XOXO

Arm Party!

You've been invited to an Arm Party! 

I'm no stranger to the more is more concept of piling on the bracelets. 

Here's how to rock this look for any occasion:

Artsy: 

This combo of 5 gives just enough color/texture to help express your inner feelings, add a ?sticker? Or tattoo in there & your living boho still life  is complete.

Casual Overload:

This group of 10! Is a texture BOMB! With its metal bangles, pops of color, beads, and larger vintage bangle at the end is a winner on a Sunday full of flea market madness or a BBQ.

Simple Six:

This streamlined sixer is great way to indulge in this look everyday. Not too much, not too little... Just right Goldie Locks ;-) was that her real name...?

Impact:

You want ppl to notice you have a party goin on & it's on your ARM! Another tenner that will bowl you over w/it's mix of texturey leathers & metals, etc...

Classic:

You can rock this one all the way from brunch to the office. A lucky 7 mix of soft colored elastics, a gold linky chain & a kick azz floral print banded watch w/rose gold face (so hot!) Go you boho bizzies!

Light as a Feathah:

Ten FTW! Some string bracelets in herringbone pattern, beads, & a silver bangle. Bright, airy, light.... Summer day doing whatever keeps our boho souls happy ;-)

Strong:

Black & White, metal & leathah, who can deny this mix!? She's got a party of 7, & she's here to stay! This day to night look may have a leather jacket & boots waiting for her... Whatever awaits, take it by Storm!!!!

Fancy:

Like yer gittin hitched! A mix of patterns/metals, and faceted gems...

There are 7 blingy bangles here Wo0t!

(I added more bling at the last min :-D)

Mood, work, activity... There's an arm party for that.

Keep it simple, or go nuts!

Most importantly... 

MAKE IT! 

XOXO
