Blingy Knuckle Rings Tutorial


After the popularity of the Multi Finger Rings and the Claw rings, the new accesory to adorn your digits is the (wrongly named) Knuckle Ring. It's placement is far from the knuckle, sitting just below the nail. These babies can be delicate lines of silver and gold or chunky creations with stones, bling and even fake metal nails. My favourite Indian accesory designer Valliyan by Nitya Arora makes them unapologetically chunky. They're perfect for a touch of 'badass' to your delicately manicured hands. I don't care, I love it.

Here's how we make them :


  • Rings (from a supply store)
  • Embellishments (Gems, studs, etc)
  • Glue


You can either buy rings in a smaller size (try them in the store) or buy adjustable rings and squeeze them to the perfect size. Trial and error baby!


Use fingers/hammers/boyfriends/dads depending on availability and pain threshold to flatten the prongs as much as possible so they stay the desired size.


Apply a large glob of glue on the flat surface and stick on the desired embellishment. 


Leave them alone in this position till the glue dries. The glob of glue was huge, so it will take a while to dry. Use a hair dryer to speed things up if you have zero patience.


Stick 'em on, sit back, admire them, instagram them.
