Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I'm really digging the knuckle ring trend right now. ShopBop has a number of double “floating” rings (some of which are already sold out). I haven't gotten one yet, so I'm only guessing they're not terribly wearable for typing and the like, but for a weekend or evening outing, I think they're kind of rockstar. This rose gold one from Campbell is $165. Campbell Knuckle Floating Ring (L-3)
