Amid display tables dusted with delicate jewels, I was surprised to discover such a chunky ring at Ten Thousand Things. The eighteen-karat gold piece with a 25-millimeter amber stone was immense—I wouldn't need to wear any other jewelry. And the amber’s coloring was fascinating, changing from ruby red to a deep blue when held into bright light. But, unfortunately, the ring felt too bulky on my finger. 423 W. 14th St., nr. Washington St.; 212-352-1333.
