The latest Neiman Marcus "The Book" catalogue proclaims "Statement" Rings as HOT HOT HOT this season. We're talking BIG cocktail rings with significant gemstones. I thought it would be fun for everyone to share their favorite "Statement" Rings, either ones that you own or ones you'd like to own.

This is a pic of my David Yurman rings, and I think the smokey quartz and amethyst ones are big enough to fall into this category.

But I'd love to make a "statement" with this Yurman citrine ring.

You have a wonderful collection of DY rings...I'm jealous! My fingers are too stubby and short to wear DY rings.

Aww, thanks SuLi. You know, you might be surprised about your ability to wear big rings. I have relatively short and stubby fingers too--I wear a size 5 or 6 ring--and I actually think that bigger-scale rings look better on me than dainty little rings. You outta try some on!
 
more, and I have another which is my all time favourite a pear cut amethyst with pave diamond setting but it need to go in for repair

my fingers are a 3.5 and long and creepy.
seriously.
and I'm 5'7" and 120 pounds.
perfect for instruments, not so perfect for jewels, yo.

I can't even get rings resized, they have to be custom freaking ordered most of the time because of the curvature.

I love all of those rings and only wish Yurman had child sizes.
 
I've had my eye on a split shank garnet set in yellow gold with a hallow of diamonds in silver by David Yurman. This is from his petite albion collection, so it may not be large enough to qualify as a "statement ring", but I love it. However, I can't find a photo of it anywhere.

DY has great garnet--his stones are really bright red and they pop, rather than looking dark and brownish like some others I've seen. (I've got the petite albion/garnet ring in all silver above.)
