What are gothic rings?
Gothic rings go beyond the bland styling found in many simple rings.
They typically incorporate an interesting design, like a skull or an eagle. Or may even include a polished stone and some text encircling it.
One thing's for sure with these rings: they are big, bold, and loud. If you're looking for a gothic style ring, you know what I'm talking about.
While gothic style dates back hundreds of years, modern interpretation is definitely up to date takes on classic gothic looks.
Find one that matches your style
This is always the hard part, right?
Picking a ring or other accessory that really conveys your individuality and style is never easy. If you're having trouble, start by finding something that you think looks awesome.
If you like it, and think it looks good--why worry about what others will think?
It's your ring and your finger, so find something that works for you. That's really all you need.
Here are a couple of gothic ring styles we think you'll like:
Skull rings
If skulls are the first thing you think of when you hear the word gothic, then this is your style. Skulls are a ubiquitous gothic style point that can be used in a variety of different situations.
Nothing's really quite as bold or in your face as a big sterling silver skull ring.
Skulls give you plenty of options too. Don't limit yourself to a single skull when a ring full of skulls is more your style.
Want to add a special touch? Grab a skull ring with jeweled eyes for a truly unique look. Skulls can work with a variety of jewel settings and combinations.
Tribal pattern rings
If you're looking for something a little more subdued and culturally exotic at the same time, a tribal pattern might just be the ticket.
While tribal art covers many genres, the tribal patterns found on most modern jewelry tends to follow a particular pattern. Tribal patterns can be found on a variety of rings. Just because the style is a little simpler, doesn't mean there's not still plenty of options with tribal patterns.
From jeweled, sapphire rings to simpler band-style rings, tribal patterns add a unique touch to any ring. You can even incorporate tribal patterns into a cross or skull.
Tribal patterns go from mild to exotic, making for a truly interesting look.
Animal rings
Have a favorite animal you'd like to hang from one of your fingers?
Animals can be found on many different gothic rings. The options are wide here. There are obviously a lot of animals to choose from and the styles for displaying them on a ring are nearly endless.
Animals make for a pretty cool ring and usually look very realistic. The artists who design and make these rings are definitely talented.
Whether you're looking for a powerful lion head or a bold hawk, the odds are pretty good that you can find a gothic ring to fit your style.
Cross rings
Crosses in all shapes and forms can be found on gothic style rings.
While crosses definitely represent deep spiritual meaning for many people, they are also a cultural symbol that has found its way into many jewelry items.
You can find crosses on rings with everything from tribal patterns, to medieval shields, to a simple band. Rings with crosses are also available with a variety of jewels and settings.
Just find a style that fits you, that's all you really need.
Character rings
Another unique option is to go with a character ring.
If you really want to show your pride in (or resemblance to) legendary characters like Superman or Darth Vader, there's a ring for that.
These rings come in a variety of styles, from character heads to the symbols that represent them, you can find just about anything in a character style ring.
Maybe you'd rather see a dragon or samurai mask around your finger? There are great options for you these characters too.
Other gothic ring styles
Why limit yourself to one of the options above when there are so many styles to pick from?
If you're interested, you can find gothic rings in an almost unlimited number of styles. Besides skulls and tribal patterns, you can get rings to commemorate your service in US Army or another branch of service.
