Day 2 of Ring Week: Could-double-as-a-weapon Rings!

If you're one of those girls that's ever said "How can I safely defend myself but still look pretty and feminine?" then Day 2 of Ring Week is for you! Presenting... Rings That Could Potentially Double Up As Weapons (metaphorically, Officer.)

First up is the Crunch ring. It's a mere $14 (£9.50) from those ladies over at Naughty Secretary and it's named after the noise it'll make if you punch it into someones nose.

Only joking! I think.

Second is this gold pyramid ring fron Kenneth Jay Lane, $98/£66 (available at Max and Chloe.) I think this could toughen me up in a cute way. (Wait: was that an oxymoron?)

Next is this insane beast: the £90/$132 Cyclopse ring, by Yves Saint Laurent over at Harveys Nics. At first I looked at it and thought "What the HELL is that?" But I kept looking. And looking. And now I love it and all its deformed grotesqueness. I'm usually a gold > silver person, but I like it in both these colourways.

It's also handy if someone is getting a little too close to you. I mean, I wouldn't argue with this bad boy.

Then there's the protection ring. For £170 (or 250 of your American dollars) Vivienne Westwood will sell you this gorgeous gold armour ring to protect your girly fingers when you're throwing your fist. Nice. 

And last -- and most painful of all -- Burberry's large square ring. Perhaps not the most inventively named, but definitely the one that packs the most punch. I love it. £147 (or $216) from Net-a-Porter.

Have you thought about jewellery as a weapon or armour? Which is your favourite? Let me know!

I don't know when it happened - it's probably a standard path all us late nineties, graphic design aping, .com boom, square bracket kids take after preceding every title with an _underscore - but I really like almost awkwardly literal names for things.

Although that said I'm not massively enamoured with Another Magazine. Maybe it's not literal enough. If you're going to do something. DO IT. DAMN YOU.

Large Square Ring all the way (if I didn't prefer the gold pyramid and silver cyclops rings, obviously).
