Save or Splurge?

With the holidays swiftly approaching, what better way to adorn yourself than with a festive cocktail ring. After all, you'll be toasting glasses of champagne, clutching mugs of hot toddies and sipping hot chocolate - keeping that ring prominently on display, twinkling in the candlelight. Try a starburst cocktail ring this year for a bit of retro appeal. The rhinestone rays of the Charlotte Russe version is perfect for all of you magpies. For a healthier investment, the Kate Spade version (now on sale) will bedeck your finger for years to come.

Would you save or splurge?

    I really love them both but I probably would go with the purple one as it would add a bit of colour to my outfit...:)
    Happy Monday,sweetie

    I actually like the cheapo one. Just because I find the neutral colours of pearl, gold and silver (or hermatite, whatever that steel look is) can go with almost anything!
    However, the purple one brings out a beautiful colour!

    It's a very tough choice -- can the Kate spade be a Christmas gift from someone, pretty please?

    I love the purple one but I don't think I would spend that on a ring. I would buy the Charlotte Russe one!

    I have SOOO many cocktail rings, but I never wear them...I get annoyed with how big they are, and I have small thin fingers..

    I would go with Russe--I would wear it during the season, but could then pack it away for the next year without that much wear showing. I think. :)

    Save! it looks like the pearl version will go with many more items. if you're anything like me, I tend to loose things and rhinestones fall out and rings tend to turn color unless its solid gold :)

    when a knockoff looks so close to the much pricier original, i always vote save.....gives you more to spend on something that isn't knocked-off.....
