Big Girl in a Skinny World: Ashley's Top 6 Ring Picks

Hello, Ladies,

As many of you know, I LOVE accessories. So much so that this month's column is all about my favorite baubles. For the most part, I can shop just about anywhere for jewels (a bright spot in the plus-size fashionista's shopping regimen!), but it can be particularly difficult to find rings. That's why I went searching for as many as I could find for this month's column—I ended up with so many that not all of them could fit on the page! Let's go through a few more amazing pieces here.

I know I've mentioned HSN.com, and I'll do it again. The rings are gorgeous, and many options are available in up to a ring size 12. Plus, you can shop by ring size, which means no more disappointment when you click on a ring you love only to find out it doesn't go past a size 8. I love this set of three Opaque Gemstone Rings from Technibond. Wear them individually or stack them together—either way they're a perfect accent to any outfit. Another great set of stackables is the Grayce by Molly Sims "Modern" Stack Ring Set. Sheila Fajl, the fantastic jewelry designer I mentioned in my column, has a chic and affordable line: Glow by Sheila Fajl. Check out her Turquoise-Color Stone Ring, one of my favorites.

Another great place to shop for roomier rings is where you find roomier clothing. Think plus-size destinations such as Avenue, Lane Bryant, and One Stop Plus. The Onyx 14k Gold-Plated Ring from Onestopplus.com is a great statement ring. For a touch of silver, consider the Hammered-Look Ring. Lane Bryant has multiple stretch rings, sure to fit just about any finger. For one with a purple accent try the Faceted Stone Stretch Ring on for size.

So tell me, ladies, where do you find great rings? Any favorite brands? Let me know so I can pass it along!
