13 Dainty Rings That Make A Big Statement

When you think of statement rings, chunky gemstones and thick bands probably jump to your mind. But when it comes to jewelry, less really is more sometimes. Dainty rings can make a chic, pretty statement too.

A solo ring can be a super sweet detail to add to an ensemble, and stacked-up teeny-tiny rings add even more interest (think of it like the new "arm party"). No matter how you wear them, small rings pull a look together in a sophisticated, understated way, and they can even act as conversation starters (I get more comments on my tiny rings than any other piece of jewelry).

But as a writer who spends most of her time at a laptop, what I like most about wearing little rings is that they're always on display for me to admire. Whether they're from somewhere special, from someone special, or they're just lovely to look at, it's nice to be able to actually see your favorite jewelry front and center (unlike, say, a necklace).

Here are 13 perfectly charming rings to add to your jewelry collection–mix and match, switch up the fingers you wear them on, or just stick with a single ring for a more subtle approach (if you can narrow it down to one favorite, that is).
