The limited-edition ring by Floridian designer Patrice at Eye Candy was reconstructed from different pieces of vintage jewelry. Its huge size, nearly reaching my knuckle, was a definite conversation starter. But the combination of synthetic cat’s-eye, a star ruby, and 24-karat gold-plated band was way too gaudy. I would have preferred any of the originals that went into making it. 329 Lafayette St., nr. Bleecker St.; 212-343-4275.
