With This Ring (And This Ring and This Ring…) I Thee Wed: The Beautiful Wedding Rings of Catbird
Photo by Jane Bruce
We now live in the age of multiple outfit changes during weddings, so why not also make it the age of multiple wedding rings? Avoid going the huge, princess-cut solitaire route (you’re not trying to bring down the Titanic with your ring finger, are you?) and sport a delicate, subtle design—or a combination of several different designs—instead. And when it comes to finding beautiful, unique rings that just beg to be stacked, there’s really only one place to go: Catbird.
This Williamsburg jewelry boutique was founded over a decade ago by owner Rony Vardi, and expanded this past fall to include a standalone wedding annex, where brides- and grooms-to-be can check out some of the most exquisite engagement and wedding bands we’ve ever seen. We stopped by the intimate new space, which features a crystal, ship-shaped chandelier and a glowing white neon sign reading “Oh My Stars,” so that Vardi and Catbird buyer Leigh Plessner could show us some of their favorite rings. Bet you can’t pick just one.
