Why Not Buy Your Own Diamond? The Right Hand Ring
Jessica Simpson was recently rumored to have purchased a $50,000 3-carat engagement ring for herself, as have Minnie Driver and rapper Eve. But it’s not just celebs who are buying their own bauble. Plenty of women are treating themselves to diamonds with a right hand ring.
Also known as the “power piece,” this is a trend that has been recently born out of the moderns woman’s desire to declare independence and acts as a sign of financial success. It makes sense. Diamond rings are gorgeous so why wait around for someone to buy it for you?
Some choose a classic style while other women choose colored stones or diamonds surrounded by gems to make it look less like an engagement ring. Using old family stones is popular and many women who have divorced take the stones out of their wedding ring and create something new.
Here are some options for right hand rings. If you travel to Greece, Russia, Spain, India, Colombia, Venezuela, Serbia, Croatia, and Poland, you may want to switch hands since married women wear their stone on their right hand instead of the left.
