Qudo Interchangeable Ring Sets
Allow You to Be the Jewelry Designer

Mother’s Day is fast approaching.  If you haven’t been paying attention, you have less than two weeks to come up with a plan to show and tell Mom all that she means to you.  You can do that in any number of great ways — and she will love them all — but if you’re freaking out trying to think of a unique gift that she’ll love, we’ve got you covered! 

Qudo (pronounced COO-dough) is a line of fun and affordable interchangeable rings that we started carrying in the store last fall. They have been popular with our customers, who love to stand at the display and get creative with swapping the stones and bands to find the look they want. If you read O (as in Oprah!) Quarterly magazine, you may have seen the rings featured on “The O List.”

What’s Your Qudo Style?

If you’re not familiar with Qudo, here’s how the rings work: The stones, which are all European crystals and come in a rainbow of colors, screw into the stainless-steel bands, which come in different widths and styles. Several of the stones deliver extra flash with a ring of Swarovski crystals on the outside. Some of the bands, like the skinny Eternity band that features crystals all the way around, are meant for stacking, which is a hot trend in jewelry right now. Other stacking or “spacer” bands, as they’re called, showcase a twisted or beaded finish, which adds texture and dimension to the overall set. It’s those kinds of options that really allow you to create a complete ring look that reflects your personality.

The color and sparkle of these rings make them fun enough to be an everyday ring and dressy enough to be one that you put on when you want to make a statement. Every woman should have a statement or “bling ring” in her jewelry box to add interest to any outfit. Maybe it’s that eye-catching statement piece you wear on special occasions or to liven up a basic outfit or to add color to an all-black or all-white ensemble.

Gift Now, Add More Later

What’s really great about giving Qudo rings as a gift is that it can be on-going. For Mother’s Day, you can buy mom a starter ring of one stone and one band — or Mom, treat yourself; and then maybe for her birthday, select a new stone or a new band to give her some options; and then at Christmas, do the same. Moms, don’t be shy about leaving hints or just coming right out and telling your children or husband what you want. They might really appreciate that. Or we can help them put something together for you. We love playing around with these rings, seeing all the different looks we can create — and you will too!
