Bold yet child-like, these oversized oval and rectangular styles feature eclectic gemstone baubles and have been serving up plenty of ’90s nostalgia across Instagram.
You might be cringing right now but a verdict has been reached amongst fashion bloggers and celebrities alike: more is more in 2021 and these chunky rings are here to stay. Here we have rounded up the hottest styles in town so you can stock up on this season’s most coveted rings:

Punch away all your 2020 woes with the La Manso Hottie Knuckle Duster. As seen on the likes of Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus, it is confirmed that the iconic Knuckle Duster is everyone’s newest obsession.

Mon Cher Moi Yves Klein
Boasting an almost sold-out website, Mon Cher Moi is the next big thing —you’re in luck that this ring is still in stock. Made from brass, the ring is hand painted with enamel in a stunning cobalt. As it’s name suggests, the design is inspired by Yves Klein’s sculpture-sponges and screams our favourite Play-Doh in the best way possible.

Smell the Cactus Yellow Lucite Ring with Semi Precious Stones
If we made crowns for our fingers, this ring would be it. This Smell the Cactus yellow ring is made from lucite, an acrylic glass that is also taking over the ring making scene alongside resin. The ring’s pastel hues make it easy to style, and its three different coloured stones would add a bunch of fun to any outfit.
