Why do they give it so many names? But one thing’s for sure, these rings worn above the knuckle are here to stay. It isn’t just Rihanna sporting ring parties. 15th-centuryaristocrats started wearing them to signify social class. Excuse us; we can’t do manual labour ‘coz of our rings!

Tiny as they may be, Midi rings pack a big punch when it comes to style. I love the fact that Midi rings give a lot of room for self-expression, and they can be worn in rotation no matter the season. Because of the unexpected element of different ring combinations every time, I never get bored of them. It’s like dressing my hand up as an art installation!

The only way to layer in our sunny, hot weather

Is the Midi ring. Unless you include piling on layers in your excessively cold office. The fun of stacking these midi rings is to wear them according to your style or the current mood. Here are tips to make your hands a conversation piece with your gal pals!

1. The Triangle

Feeling the mood for some serious bling? Form a triangle using your index, middle and ring fingers. An inverted triangle works as well. Find the perfect Midi ring size by choosing one that fits your pinky as well as the phalanx of the middle finger (read on for the trick to determine your midi ring size!) Up your style game by adding two more rings. Don’t forget your pinky!

2. A Centrepiece

Frame your statement piece with complementing midi rings. The easiest way is to use your middle finger as the focal point, and stack one or two bands at the top. Place a couple more of them on the ring and index fingers. This works great for those of you who want to give a twist to your elegant outfit. Try it out and admire your work of art!

3. Line ‘em up!

This is my personal favourite as it is the easy and not OTT for an everyday look. Create a line of rings across your fingers. It could be above or below your knuckles. Once you are satisfied with it, add two or three more simple bands outside the line area. Voila, you are done!

What’s my Midi Ring size?

These rings are meant to slide down the first knuckle on a finger and sit nicely between the first and second knuckle. The trick to knowing your midi ring size is a math equation!

Midi Ring Size = Average Ring Size – 4

The most popular ring size for females is a 7. So applying the above equation will mean that you are a Midi Ring Size 3. Check out our Size Guide for further sizing information.
