Ring in the New Year

Jane Elizabeth Cocktail Ring

Few things can be sexy and safe at the same time.

Novelty condoms. Silver Volvos. And, of course, your little black dress.

Still, after five straight years of holiday parties, even the cutest head-to-toe black little number can grow tired. Before your next swanky soiree, consider adding a splash of color with a Jane Elizabeth cocktail ring. Available in pink chalcedony, blue chalcedony, and an aquamarine-and-blue onyx cluster, they complement your sleek, otherwise monochromatic look just perfectly.

If none of the above suits your fancy, never fear: Jane will customize one for you. The rings are elegant but not ostentatious, of the moment but not trendy, bold but not garish. Sexy, you might say, and just a little to the left of safe.

Kind of like you in your little black dress.

Available at Two Skirts, 2124 Chestnut Street, between Steiner and Pierce Streets (415-441-6727).
