Cindy’s TrendTracker: Mind the Gap
We’ve been tracking a ring trend lately that has taken on a life of its own.
Taking inspiration from the chock, a piece of hardware that supports a dock line found on a boat, Crusoe Jewelry’s “Adrift Diagonal Open” ring is hand-crafted in matte-finish silver. With its open design, the ring can be worn on any finger ($75).crusoejewelry.com
We’ve been tracking a ring trend lately that has taken on a life of its own. Designers these days are minding the gap and leaving space between stones. It’s not quite a show about nothing (wink, wink Seinfeld fans) but the emptiness in the middle adds a visual element that enhances the design. It’s quite cute and adds a nice variety to a stack or multi-ring look.
Here are many interpretations of the gap ring trend to offer trend-tracking customers this spring. All prices listed are retail.
