Okay peeps, let’s have a little fun with this multiple choice test! I’ve done lots of research on the topic of ring holders to keep my engagement ring safe and sound, and I have finally purchased my favorite. Let’s see if you regular readers can guess which one I picked…

Lalique Antique Glass Bird Ring Holder
$299 at Atlanta Antique Gallery

A. The Pricey Pigeon
Okay, so it’s probably a much more dignified bird than a pigeon, but it’s a bird nonetheless and pretty pricey you must admit. I’m pretty positive my slight obsession with aviary related decor is hereditary, as my mom has the same affliction. I love the functionality of this piece: lift the frosted crystal bird off its perch and place your beloved rings in its nest.

Rubbermaid 1G18M6FRST Evolution Ring Holder in Frost
$7.49 @ Amazon.com

B. The Functional Yet Slightly Fugly
You might be able to kid yourself into thinking that this is a fancy sculpture made of rubber - but honestly, its tub stopper shape should be a comfort. This is definitely the safest of the bunch, as its snap top secures your ring in its grasp while its conical shape makes sure a trip down the drain isn’t on the itinerary. Ladies, you can now wash your dishes with ease.

Olivia Riegel Hand Enameled Ring Holder Decorated with Swarovski Crystals
On sale for $115 (originally $145) at The Addison Collection

C. The Shabby Chic
I don’t normally like anything similar to the painted floral heart-shaped porcelain ring holders which are found aplenty. Apparently, you can pierce one with several strings of freshwater pearls and crystals, then call it shabby chic and I’m not only in that boat, I’m rowing it to shore.

Hinged Enamel and Crystal Pineapple Box
$18.95 @ Remarkable Treasure on eBay

D. The Edible Eclectic
Have I told you all the story of the pineapple? Not yet? Well, that dear readers is a story to be told. This delicious fruit plays a special role in the story of “us” and well, let’s just say I’m having a difficult time finding cute pineapple servers for our cake cutting ceremony. Perhaps a sparkly miniature version to encase my engagement ring instead? Hello Miss Pineapple - we love you and your extended family - you are mighty tasty!

Tree Ring Holder
$7.95 @ cb2.com

E. The Mid-Century Modern
Swathe anything in white lacquer, make it wall-mountable and you can call it mid-century modern. While I’m not really looking for a re-worked shiny white version of a jackalope head for my mantle, I’m pretty positive this branch ring holder would look amazing atop my dresser.

Waterford Ballet Ribbon Tarnish-Resistant Silver-plated Ring Holder & Jewelry Box Set
$75.00 @ Amazon.com

F. The Matchy-Matchy
IF, and I say IF, I had joined the Vera Wang Waterford Ballet Ribbon China fan club (I’ll admit I considered it for a moment), this would have been a good choice. After all, this would just add to my collection and make for a much more cohesive inheritance for my future daughters to fight over. I mean really, Waterford and Vera Wang? That’s just too much good taste for one ring holder.

Ginger Kubic Ring Holder
On sale for $75.40 (originall $116) @ the inside store

G. The Simple Unisex Sculpture
I love that this ring holder can be shared - it’s masculine enough that you might just convince your new hubby to take care of his wedding band. Also, it’s relaxed position creates a great combination of accessibility and ease of use.

I can totally see this working a la medicine cabinet or counter top.
