Brass Knuckles



Just in our own classroom of Fashion Journalism, I noticed a new trend that I’ve seen appearing slowly in stores, magazines, and on celebrities, this trend is the multi-finger ring. This trend started out as a brass knuckle but now has been cleverly re-designed into an ultra-chic accessory. Also resembling the late 80s iced out rings worn by rap stars have now been revamped into a cute playful fashionable ring. That even though we will admit they had a bad girl edge to them it now can be cute and feminine too.

The multi-finger rings have been reinvented in many ways, they now have rhinestones, flowers, words, gemstones, and even animals. Wither you want a cute feminine flower or rocker studs, these rings are a great way to spice up your normal everyday accessories. Rings made by designers such as Elizabeth and James making the “Feather Across the Hand” ring being sold at Bloomingdales, even handcrafted multi-finger rings being sold at the online indie super store Etsy, and for a more edgy ring we look to Nasty Gal who always brings a fresh California cool style. Even bigger designers are starting to make these stylish rings, like Alexander McQueen with his “Knuckle Duster” Multi-finger ring, that can be found at Saks. For the people who don’t think the rings are uncomfortable the fashion world has adopted to this complaint and rings that are only attached to one finger yet that span across two or three things are also coming in.

Celebrities who have been sporting this trend include the ever-stylish Rihanna, always-bad girl Taylor Momsen, and even reality fashion queen Lauren Conrad. Also magazines have been starting to spread this trend including, Elle, Teen Vogue, and Nylon. So instead of taking up room in your purse with pepper spray just put one of these rings on and your good to go. This accessory will hit the masses soon, so you better get yours soon, so you can get ahead on this upcoming trend.
