Current Trend: Rock Candy

Royal Ontario Museum: Lee-Chin Crystal

  
Crystal-Inspired Rings 

    This week I was very interested in accessories, especially these gorgeous crystal-inspired cocktail rings. The greatest part about these edgy pieces is that they are in no way being used as cocktail rings. All of the young women I saw wearing these rings were out running errands or in class for the afternoon. What a great way to add flare to your daytime look! Since they are made of metallic stones, their texture is rough and jagged. Their iridescence balances the heavy rock materials to create an outstanding day or evening look. Depending on the styling of these pieces, they can go from biker chic to glamour girl.

The Lee-Chin Crystal, in Toronto, has a very similar silhouette and unique design (photo courtesy of Daniel Libeskind website). The structure’s lines are short and sharp coming points, like a crystal. The Crystal is made of glass and aluminum making it’s exterior glisten in the sun during throughout the day and reflects city lights at night. The morning-to-evening beauty of the museum resembles the all-day use of the crystal ring. The crystal-inspired ring is an accessory that really has an impact on one’s look!
