It started with the full-finger ring, an ecto-skeletal piece of jewelry that creeps up each digit in chic articulated increments. Then came the upper-finger ring, a tiny band of gold or silver designed to fit snugly above the knuckle. Now a new hybrid, what we’re calling the double-decker ring, is giving traditional bijou a sparkling new companion. Joined by a system of delicate 18K gold chains, Plukka’s diamond-studded twin ring takes fine jewelry to glittering higher ground. Others, like Shourouk’s maharaja-inspired piece, drive the idea to a third realm of playful possibilities, with clusters of colorful Swarovski crystals to decorate fingers in three different places at once. Given that our obsession with stacking jewelsshows no signs of slowing down (the spring collectsions shone with new ways to pile it on, most notably at Balenciaga), there’s all the more reason to put a ring—or two—on it right now.
