Piece of the Week: Sorellina’s Rock Crystal Ring
The seriously trending signet pinky ring gets a creative material upgrade.

New York--Bold signet pinky rings have a long history but are enjoying a contemporary resurgence as the ring du jour.
Sorellina has elevated the trend, leaving their stamp (pun intended) on this cool rock crystal version.
A customized initial is rendered in rhodium-plated 18-karat gold and bedecked with diamonds, then set in rock crystal atop an 18-karat yellow gold shank in this pinky ring, which retails for $2,750.
Customers who aren’t a fan of rock crystal can also choose between an onyx, white onyx or green quartz version.
It’s available at New York boutique Fivestory, and on the store’s website.
