I picked one up at UK retail off NAP. The next morning they had all these Arty rings at 50% off. Annoyed. Anyway, I finally received them all and played around with them last night. I would say they are TTS. I bought some size 4s and some size 5s as I'm in between 4 and 5 (which is about a J-K) in normal rings, and as expected I am between sizes in the YSL Arty.
I'm not sure what the official colours are called because NAP doesn't call them anything.... Arty experts help me out!
Please let me know which colours you like the best. I don't think I'll keep all of them as 6 is a tad bit excessive.
Wow, they look enormous! Had no idea they were this large.
ReplyDeleteI saw your public service announcement on instagram and again had to use super human will power to resist buying one... or two.
To answer your question I think I like the blue with the large gold specks the most.
Equal second are the purple and dark green.
Third, the dark blue lightly speckled one up top.
Fourth, the teal.
And lastly the bight blue in the lower right hand corner - I don't think I like this one at all if that's possible?
Wow good work resisting that! You're so good when it comes to self-control, I wish I could be more like that.
DeleteThe blue with large gold specks is also my fave! Will defs be keeping that one :) Also not a huge fan of the bright blue so that's going back to NAP.
Hmm... 6 may be a few too many. Especially all of the same tone.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the dark blue lightly speckled one, closely followed by the gold speckled one.
Then the dark free, teal, dark purple and finally bright blue.
Good luck deciding!
Argh it's so tough! Your 2 fave are also my 2 fave but agree it's too much of the same colour palette.
DeleteDecisions decisions
Kay,
ReplyDeleteI heard that they were going to discontinue the rings too. I also heard the same about the BDJ clutches, but who knows. Seems they keep bring a whole lot of stuff with the YSL logo even after websites like mytheresa, Netaporter and Matches rebranded it Saint Laurent, so who knows...
By the way, I have 6 of these rings at the moment and i don't think that's too many. *lol* So I'll play the little devil that gets to sit on your left shoulder whispering "KEEP 'EM ALL! ALL OF THEM I TELL YA!" *lol*
As for my favourite ones, I'll say the green/aqua and the lapis (I actually have them too!) as well as the gold with blue specs, and the navy with gold specs.
Yeah the boxes still said YSL though, so maybe they're clearing all their 'old' YSL branded stock now even though websites have rebranded to Saint Laurent.
DeleteHehe you're such a bad influence!! You might have 6 but you didn't get them all at the same time right? Thing is, I know I will buy more in future (as long as they're not discontinued) so it seems ridiculously excessive to keep all 6 right now.
Hi Kay,
DeleteI recently got 7 of them (in one month) once I heard they were going to discontinue.
6 is not crazy but the colors you have are kinda similar.. why don't you return some gold and get some silver base ones?
The Aqua one looks best on you. I'd say keep the bottom middle and the bottom left. these 2 are must keep!
I love the brighter shades of blue and green best:) wish I had been quick enough to snap one up in the sale, by the time I got in there they were all gone!
ReplyDeleteOh no! They still have an all-gold but I'm not sure what sizes are left. I think all gold defeats the purpose of having a coloured stone in the middle, personally. Maybe that's why it's still there?
DeleteMy favourite is the blue with the little gold speckles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback :)
DeleteWill defs be keeping that one
They are massive!
ReplyDeleteI like the acqua one and the blue one in the last picture.
Dont think I like the others
I was really hoping they wouldn't look too massive on me :S Maybe I don't think they're that massive because I generally wear big rings anyway?
DeleteDo they look stupidly massive? Like I shouldn't go out in public with them?
I saw your post about it the other day so quickly went to NAP and snapped some up! To be fair, I already have one I barely wear (maybe twice a year?) but it was the excuse I needed to buy some other sale items that I was trying to order in a bulk shipment to save on shipping fees.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I also got the aqua and its quite stunning in real life! I think the tealy colour (top right) is one I've bought but returned because its not 'bright' and translucent enough? The other one I ended up buying (but might return) is just plain gold. I think if you'll wear them, at 50% off you're totally able to keep at least 2 or 3!
Yay which ones did you get?? How exciting. What else did you get in the sale?
DeleteYep the top right and top left aren't really translucent which is weird because isn't it meant to be glass? They're probs my least 2 faves.
I think I've decided on 3 - the navy with small gold flecks, navy with big gold flecks, and the aqua colour
They are pretty massive. :) So like I think i'm size 5... if erm you're gonna sell some. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the ones with the gold streaks through them. :) and bottom row I like the left one.
Artyyyyy collageee..
BTW what did you use to collage the 6 rings together?
Hehe I'll let you know. 5 is equivalent to J 1/2 I think??
DeleteYep we have the same tastes ;)
I've got PicsArt and PhotoGrid on my phone. I used PhotoGrid for this one.
I was told by three shops (Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and YSL London) last month that they are discontinued but the fourth one (Harrods) said not.
ReplyDeleteArgh it's so annoying! I wish they would clarify for once and for all!
