Why are French ladies considered perpetually chic?
One of their secret weapons is the prevalence of established home-grown fashion houses, like that of Christian Dior. Christian Dior created his namesake brand in 1946 and created a “new look” of women’s dressing that controversially included corsets, shoulder pads, boned bodices, and flared petticoats that emphasized women’s curves. He created looks that were carefree, fun, and undeniably feminine. This vibe certainly contributes to the aesthetic of the brand’s jewelry as well.
A popular piece of jewelry was the “Oui” ring that debuted a few years ago. This delicate scripted word is finished off with a small diamond and was an instant hit. While the Dior version is sold out, there are a few versions on Etsy that are equally as fun, though without the diamond.
Yes (oui), indeed!
So would you be savvy or splurge?
Oui ring, Laladesignstudio on Etsy, $48
Oui ring, Streetbauble on Etsy, $45
Oui ring, Christian Dior, $675 (not sold now)
I think the savvy affordable pieces looks just as nice, considering! I would save my splurge for something else, because I love shoes and bags a bit more, lol! 🙂
Madison, I would do the same thing! I love splurging on shoes and bags!
great post and idea of looking for cheeper alrenatives! those oui ring looks cute.
if I wanted such ring I would go for etsy alternative and spent 675$ on shoes or bag
This is such an adorable ring, I can’t believe the similarity between the expensive and cheaper versions, you could never tell the difference!
Those pieces are gorgeous, I would take the savvy one and use the money saved to splurge on a pretty dress, hahaha!! Have a sweet day doll xx
Kizzy, you could definitely get quite a few pretty dresses with the savings! The savvy oui rings rock!
LOVE this ring! I almost bought the one from Streetbauble not too long ago! 🙂
Ooh if you get it, we can be ring twins! I am definitely leaning towards the Streetbauble version!
that’s why i love reading your blog. i’ve seen that ring, but never knew its history or origins. i think it’s so cute! DIOR created a beautiful ring.
Aww, thanks sweetie! I definitely like to share savvy alternatives. The savings can go to a cool purse or a fun trip right?
Considering the original is sold out, I would go for the alternatives! I do like the “oui” ring, but not enough to justify the $675 price tag. The middle alternative is nice 🙂
Savvy all the way….sigh. As much and I wish I could afford a caviar lifestyle
on that i would SAVE the $$$
I love the look of this ring. Thanks for the more affordable alternatives! Etsy rocks!
Rowena @ rolala loves
Seriously, don’t the Etsy alternatives rock? Both options are gold filled as well!
These are all really pretty! I love the savvy picks.
Is it crazy that I kinda love the second Etsy ring the best?
Okay I love love love the Streetbauble one!
