'Tis the season for sparkle—and we're not just talking about festive lights and metallic tinsel. After tossing lengths up into a sophisticated party-ready updo and throwing on a dazzling frock, consider turning attention to your hands, namely, your cocktail ring and manicure statement. After all, fingers will be forced center stage whilst dipping strawberries into chocolate fountains and clinking champagne glasses with fellow merry makers. And no Instagram capture could possibly feel complete without a hint of seasonal shimmer.
Those green with envy will relish in Sydney Gerber's emerald snake bling paired with a moody black polish. For a rosy punch, slip on Diane Kordas's pop art-inspired ruby ring and swipe on a pink pale hue to match. Call yourself a minimalist? Well, rejoice in a simple, gold signet stunner and a dusty lilac polish, for a small dose of holiday spirit, no matter how subtle, it still counts. Finger food enthusiasts who are parked by the buffet, fear no more: blend in with the crowd by opting for Nadine Ghosn's diamond-encrusted mini burger or Alison Lou's crisp apple ring—both would plate well with a coat of Dior's subtle nail glow. Here, 21 of the season's extraordinary cocktail-rings-and-lacquer pairings.
