In the ever moving world of fashion,Knuckle Rings Are Better Than Ever Before Articles the adage “the only constant thing is change”, could not be any more accurate. Leave it to this industry to take even the simplest, most inconspicuous piece of traditional jewelry like the ring and turn it into one of the season’s hottest, most sought after accessorizing trends.  They took the uncomplicated ring and transformed it into the hugely popular, ultra chic knuckle rings. 

Knuckle Rings have become a lot more popular over the last couple of decades, when they gained a huge following due to their extensive use by hip hop artists who saw it suitable to sport rings that were originally intended as weapons by dressing them up in overflowing diamonds in colossal gold settings. Thus, brass knuckle jewelry has evolved from being "tough bling" to "high fashion bling".  It is probably because of its tough past, and flashy add-ons that made these knuckle rings an obvious choice for today’s edgy cultural scene. Gradually though, the massive bling was toned down to more traditional fashion styling, bringing with it a reduction from four finger rings down to two finger rings that are quite a far cry from their original counterparts, but still very capable of giving you that ostentatious edge. 

Multi finger rings aren't the only type of knuckle rings in the market anymore, as hinged rings have since been spawned and are the stylish spin offs of the original knuckle rings.  It is a single, very long column ring that has a hinge in the center that allows the wearer's finger to bend at the knuckle. These knuckle rings have become hugely popular and have designs that are mostly medieval and even gothic in nature, but each one still very tastefully striking.

One of the problems with buying knuckle rings of any variety is getting them to fit properly. Sometimes it's hard enough to get a single ring finger to fit properly, but adding in a more fingers compound the problem, as you need all of them to fit properly. The key to getting your knuckle ring fit right is just to ensure that wherever you are buying from has a great exchange or return policy!  And because rings like these aren't usually available at your local jeweler, online is your best bet. Look for a store or website with reliable customer reviews that you can trust. Using a site like eBay or Amazon is also a good bet.
