New in: YSL Arty ring - ain't Laurent without Yves


For those who follow me on Instagram, you may know of my recent purchase of the YSL (Yves Saint Laurent - although now under 'Saint Laurent) Arty ring.  Not knowing my size I ordered them in both a 6 and 7 (my wedding ring size is a 5).  The smaller fits on my left hand, and the larger on my right (although too loose for my ring finger).  I am trying to use  every fibre in my body to resist keeping both, haha!  They are absolutely stunning! I have wanted one for so many years, but hesitated due to its gold colour (and my wedding/e-ring being white gold).  I also have a 'marine/rose gold' on its way too me, and ordered a turquoise in a 6 that will have to go back as it's too small (I found it smaller than the cream, oddly enough, although I did read how these rings vary in sizing depending on what colour it is).  Update: it does, however, fit my left hand, contemplating keeping it *guilty look*

Uhm...please excuse the silly hand shots!

I bought the YSL Arty cream ring (on sale at net-a-porter!) here, and you can find them in other colours here.

For those who own YSL Arty rings, please do share your colours, and whether you wear them often!

TGIF!

This time next week I'll be in London with my sister!

Had better get back to packing...

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

  1. I have the cream, marine, lapis, mint green and navy with gold flecks! Half are size 4, half are siz 5 (depending on whatever was left at the time). I have to say the size 4 fits me better than the 5 so I guess I must be smaller than a 5 in normal rings. I swear I'm a 5 in normal rings though... weird.

    The cream looks great on you! Love the turquoise one as well :)

    Kx.

    1. Wow, what a collection Kay! I didn't realize you had kept them all! :)

  2. I don't own Arty rings but I do own a few of the Tribute heels (both sandal and pump varieties!). You are right though, Saint Laurent is not the same without Yves. I'm just kicking myself for not picking up a Cabas Chyc bag, because they've discontinued it now. I wish they'd kept Stefano Pilatto's work on the accessories (ie shoes and bags). I'm not a fan of Hedi Slimane's work so far, especially the Spring 2013 RTW, too witchlike for my liking.

    1. Oh, I had no idea the Cabas Chyc bag was discontinued, love it and the clutch too! Read rumours the Arty will be discontinued too. Don't understand why YSL is going along with all this, I truly did not like Hedi's uber grungy collection, so not YSL IMHO...

  3. That's interesting to know that the sizing varies between the colours. That makes it even harder to buy them! I've been eyeing them off for ages but just can't decide on a colour. How bad is that. I have to say I'm loving the gold you bought after seeing it in more detail.

    1. If it's any help, I hear that it's the blue colours that run smaller. And 1-2 sizes bigger than your ring finger is good if you want to use it on your index/middle finger... I too, had/have trouble picking which colour to get, want so many!!!
