Extravagant shapes, vibrant colors, and unusual motifs: "The more eye-catching, the better" is the motto of our wow-factor ring jewelry trend. Designed for everyday wear as well as more exclusive occasions, you can tell your own story with the wow ring of your choice.

Statement Rings as a Symbol of Freedom and Independence

Speaking of history, the fact that we now wear such unusual designs on our fingers as a matter of course is thanks to a movement that began about 100 years ago. In the 1920s, women in the USA were allowed to vote for the first time. This unleashed a wave of emancipation in which women were no longer constrained by perceived social norms. Instead, they sought economic, political, and sexual freedom. They expressed their rebellion with wild but clandestine parties and through their appearance—with short, bold hairstyles, even shorter, extravagant dresses, eye-catching long pearl necklaces, and huge decorative rings. These statement pieces quickly became known as cocktail rings, and even then, they were real wow-factor rings.

How to Combine Wow-Factor Rings

Whether as a statement ring with a gemstone, in pure gold, or in eye-catching colors, wow-factor rings are pieces of jewelry that want to be shown and seen. That's why they make their grand entrance with clean looks in muted colors. If you want to wear other jewelry with them, choose subtle necklaces or earrings. Extravagant statement rings with a motif can also be paired with patterns and other pieces that echo the same theme.
