S&M Sweetheart


The dominatrix look is in and every aspiring fashionista is clambering to get a piece of the action. But what of those who are too timid to don head-to-toe pleather? Is there a way of adding a little bit of S&M to your life without looking like a complete nympho or even (gasp) a backup dancer for Madonna?

Fortunately, Swarovski has the perfect solution - The Fetish Ring.

It recently featured in Grazia Magazine and hasn't left our thoughts since. This hauntingly stunning statement piece is ruthenium-plated and is set with a strong mix of Jet and Jet Hematite, Blue Zircon and Purple Velvet crystals in various cuts and sizes. The Pointiage setting adds a distinctive dazzle to the ring.

"Statement Pieces" recommends it be paired with anything from a simple blazer to a buttersoft "boyfriend" style tee - the only necessity is a set of well manicured nails, cut short and rounded, with a splash of raven black polish.

Sure, at almost $400 (AU) the ring is slightly lavish, however, think of it as a tool of self empowerment. Its the only S&M themed accessory that doesn't make you feel like a dirty "adult store" patron.

This Swarovski ring is divine. It's got that very gothic, Alexander McQueen look to it. A cocktail ring is also a fantastic way of individualising often staid work clothes without dominating (pardon the S&M pun) the overall image. Great pieces so far, keep us posted.
