Armor rings, while they are neither a new phenomenon nor are any of these pieces particularly original they have had my undying love for sometime now. They remain the symbol of bad girl, old school, punk. From my first introduction to the odd accessory in a rather peculiar animated japanese show called Nana.

wearing Vivienne Westwood ring at least according to the show
Too the modern established rings of the post grunge era (aka now).
I am not certain how you wear these or if they are simply concept pieces.
This ring is fairly boring, but I could not resist the badassery of her expression.
Tommy Tons
Ear Cuffs another fabulous invention

I guess while we are on the subject of awesome and jewelry and things that are not exactly new. This lovely danish model with a septum ring. I swear this picture never gets old.
Just adding Alec in for good measure.
