Ring-a-Ding-Ding

Iosselliani Rings

Purchasing a ring you’ll wear forever typically requires conversations with tedious salespeople, dropping a ton of cash, and finding a special someone you’ll eventually want to divorce.

Not so with Iosselliani. The Rome-based design duo creates rings you won’t want to take off — yet have no strings attached.

Reminiscent of traditional Italian baubles, the stackable silver and gold vermeils might first win your heart. But chunky combos of semiprecious stones, crystals, and thicker and thinner bands set against pieces that resemble engagement solitaires will make commitment difficult. And the sterling puma head that wraps around your finger is an investment you won’t lose anytime soon.

Unlike your last fiancé.
