ring around

[fufaraw]

Someone asked the other day about the black ring I wear on my right hand. It’s an ace ring, asexual identifier, like a rainbow flag pin. You’ll catch sight of one once in a while, a few celebrities occasionally flash one.


   

                                                                                                                         
I can’t wear wide bands, though I love the look. My wedding ring at the moment is a stack of four 2mm sterling bands, each in a different design. For the ace ring I bought an inexpensive 2mm black coated stainless steel band, but it didn’t have enough visual heft. So I ordered another one just like it, planning to wear the pair as a double band. And then on Etsy I saw the tiny faceted hematite beads strung on fine wire, and I think it all worked out beautifully

It's a very beautiful ring! <3

Thank you! I didn't want to spend a lot, and I think it's pretty nifty, for the pittance it cost. It's comfy to wear and I like it.

I reckon it helps I'm not a diamonds girl.

Ooh, I like it! I do the same, sort of - i wear more than one ring on three fingers, just 'cause i like how it looks.

I have short little fat fingers, so I can't wear the multi-ring stacks I love. But this works.

If you hadn't shown us the three separated I'd have assumed they were a single ring. I love haematite.

It was a serendipitous combination--and it does look like one wide band--without the irritation a wide band gives me.

The hematite gives a little sparkle, which is nice.

Beautiful, and if you hadn't split them apart I'd have assumed it was one whole ring ♥

It does look like a wide band, without the irritation a wide band causes me. There's movement, and air under it, so it works.
