Rock Your World

We hate to break the news to bling addicts the world over, but the only thing that looks as good as a nine-carat Harry Winston ring is an actual nine-carat Harry Winston ring.

So maybe it’s time to give that tired honker on your pinkie a little rest.

Which is not to say you need to hock your 401(k) plan in order to accessorize.

Rachel Leigh’s jewelry is the perfect combination of chic and fun. The rings are made of various semiprecious stones (amethyst, garnet, mother-of-pearl) that look like glistening clusters of rock candy held together with delicate fourteen-karat gold wire.

They’re equal parts Auntie Mame and Hope Diamond. (Do not underestimate the glamour quotient these baubles carry.) And at about $150 a pop, you might be able to spread the love to one or two fingers.

You wouldn’t, after all, want to breed competition between those guys.

That could get awfully messy.
