THE SO-CALLED ring finger, that is the one next to your pinky on the left hand, is not the only digit that deserves to be adorned with fine jewels. All your fingers are potential "ring fingers", so treat them as such! Run beautiful circles around them in diamonds, sapphires, emeralds or the stone of your liking, though not all at once. Good taste lies within limits. Even if you cannot afford the pricey ones, there are less costly versions, even 'fashion jewellery', that look equally attractive.

Of course, it is only expected that your nails be in tiptop shape if you intend to be showing off the "bling". So treat yourself to a manicure because such precious stones deserve to be complemented with equally flawless nails.
