Recently we received the Metal Owl Stretch Ring from the Kardashian Kollection to review.  We must say its a bargain and is a fun cocktail ring to add to your “steal” collection at $15.40!

The trend of animal inspired cocktails rings has taken over the fashion accessory world.  You can find rings ranging in the high price bracket to the more affordable prices.  Today’s steal is the Kardashian Kollection Owl Stretch Ring from Sears.com. When we received the ring, the packaging was nice.  Ring was attached to a black velvet ring covering with the imprint Kardashian Kollection and we were easily able to cut off string attaching the ring and started wearing it. The stretch of the rings allows you to wear on any finger of  a freshly manicured hand. Though we only wore the ring for a two weeks during two separate holiday soirees, we received several compliments on the sparkle of the ring against the holiday lights and glamour of the evening.

Girlfriends, all-in-all if you are searching for a ‘steal’ and a costume jewelry piece, try the Owl Stretch ring this season!
