Monica Vinader Nugget rings

sorry, hands could REALLY have used moisturising before photographing

This Monica Vinader stacking ring combo (a Large Nugget Ring in smoky quartz and a Small Nugget Ring in moonstone) is brought to you by the very finest Girls Shopping Maths Logic. I bought the Large Nugget ring in the Monica Vinader sale, where I got it for 50% off. You all know where this is going, right? With the money I saved I bought the Small Nugget ring.

I wanted to give a quick head's up that this particular ring does seem to come up quite generously on the sizes. I ordered M - my ring finger is an L, and my middle finger is generally about an M to N, and the size M in the Nugget ring (both sizes, but more on the Large one) feels more like an N1/2 to me. I think it is because the gem is raised from the ring in an open setting to allow stacking more easily, which results in a bit more 'give' in the ring - see the picture below. I ordered the Large Nugget online and took it into the Monica Vinader shop on South Molton Street to check I hadn't accidentally been sent a size P (I hadn't). I could easily wear the size K on my ring finger, so it is worth bearing this in mind when ordering this particular style online, or ideally trying them for size in a shop first.

The Large Nugget is very large, and I think the Small Nugget is probably more practical; the Small Nugget can also be stacked with the Luna (round) and Candy (oval) rings. The Smoky Quartz Nugget rings are sold out in the sale, but there are some orange-red Carnelian Nugget rings still available at half price.
