2021 was ALL about thick, chunky jewellery – I seriously couldn’t scroll through my Pinterest feed without seeing an oversized ring somewhere! And, as much as I love a statement piece, there’s always room in my heart (and my jewellery box!) for dainty alternatives. Smaller, more subtle rings are perfect for stacking and can be easily dressed up or down. The best thing about these kind of rings is that they never really go out of style – they’re those classic pieces that you can dig out time and time again, and match with practically any outfit!

I’ve been shopping around for some cute, dainty rings to add to my jewellery collection and luckily I’ve found tons of gorgeous options. It really makes me wish I could buy them all! You’ll notice that most of the rings below are gold plated, but the majority of retailers also offered them in sterling silver or rose gold too. So, if gold isn’t really your thing, you’re free to choose a finish that suits you!

Ready to jump into it? Here are 10 dainty rings that are sure to make your manicure shine this summer (and of course the rest of the year too!)

Floral jewellery is a summertime classic. Would it really be summer without a few daisies or sunflowers thrown into the mix? Daisy London’s Flower Edit is proof that everyone needs a floral ring, necklace or pair of earrings in their collection … and if you’re stuck choosing, why not go for the Iota Daisy Ring? This adorable little band makes it feel like you’re wearing a literal daisy chain around your finger, it doesn’t get any cuter than this!

I’m a sucker for pink gemstones… and Pinch & Fold’s Fantasy Ring is covered in them. Add a baguette CZ gem in the middle and I’m completely sold! Like the Nabi London ring, I can see this working well as a midi, but I also think it has enough flair to be worn as a showstopper by itself.
Edit Feb 2024: Unfortunately it looks like Pinch & Fold are no longer operating.

This is definitely one for the minimalists! If you like the look of a plain gold band, but want something that’s a little different, this Lily & Roo Three Baguette Ring has you covered. Though it’s not super blingy, it still has a tiny bit of sparkle, making it perfect for practically any occasion.

Tarnish resistant and hypoallergenic, With Lyberty’s jewellery ticks all the right boxes. If you want something that’s great quality but also super affordable, look no further. Lined with tiny cubic zirconia stones, the Jolie Pave Ring looks amazing stacked with other, thicker gold rings. Or pair it with a couple of thinner bands to really get that layered effect.

D. Louise’s beaded collection is the stuff that dreams are made of. The ring above comes in four colours – blue, dark blue, orange and green – all of which give off definite summer vibes. It’s not often that you see chain rings that are so delicate – thicker, chain links have had all the focus recently – so I’m really loving this softer option.

Ok, this might just be the cutest ring I own. The details are incredible and it feels super light on – I honestly forget I’m wearing it sometimes! Tiny pink and white gems are nestled between the golden flowers that decorate the band, and there’s also a couple of leaves (to continue the floral theme). I’ve got this in a UK F which fits as a midi, but I think this would look equally good as a standard ring too!

There’s nothing wrong with a plain gold band, but this twisted design just takes your jewellery game to a whole new level. Wear it alone for a simple, understated look, or stack it with other gold pieces to really make sure all eyes are on your new summer nails.

It’s 1mm thick – so it’s REALLY dainty looking – and can be incorporated into almost any ring stack. If you’re looking for something that’s super versatile, this is it.
