Dupli-CAUGHT: Vivienne Westwood vs. Urban Outfitters

Vivienne Westwood Armour Ring vs.
Urban Outfitters Armor Plate Knuckle Ring
Being obsessed with knuckle rings naturally I fell in love with this armour ring from Vivienne Westwood (left). I've been eying this piece for seasons, so when I saw the ring (right) for $24 by the checkout line at Urban Outfitters, I immediately thought to myself, "Dupli-CAUGHT!"

I love Vivienne Westwood ring for being a bold statement piece, and what I love most about it is how the shiny silver really resembles a knight's armor.

Trend Report: Knuckleduster Rings

I've been on the look out for the perfect knuckle ring for years, and over the past few months I've noticed a huge wave of knuckleduster rings coming through. Knuckle rings are hot. They're tough, edgy and when done right, chic. When done wrong, they can be oh so tacky.

My recommendation when wearing knuckle rings is to keep it simple. If you plan to wear a knuckle ring, don't load up your arms with chunky bangles or bracelets. And unless you're intentionally dressing like a ghetto girl or over-accessorized pop starlet, no hoop earrings.

Melody Ehsani, $50 & Made Her Think, $110The first ring is a little kitchy, but since it's in mirror rather than colored plastic, it works. The second ring from Made Her Think is one of my favorites because the shape is less expected. I wanted to buy one last week from Save Fashion, but they were out of my size! Sad day.

Lauren Ramirez, $190 & Bijules, $229-$250I like these rings because they're simple, sleek and from young designers with noteworthy collections. You can check out more from San Francisco's Lauren Ramirez on etsy.com and New York's Bijules at bijulesnyc.com.

Vane, $120Being a unisex ring, this piece from Vane is the most masculine and the toughest of the bunch. I love it for its New York pride and classic knuckle ring style.
