Nothing says girlhood and friendship quite like a friendship bracelet. Whether they were DIY crafts or little trinkets we bought for each other at the mall, those bracelets meant more than money ever could. And honestly? I don’t think that kind of sentiment is something we should grow out of.

That said, the neon glue bracelets and giant alphabet beads don’t exactly pair well with a work outfit, or, let’s be real, anything beyond a themed party. So lately, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to friendship rings. Hear me out: rings have a long history of symbolizing commitment—from weddings to royal lineage to, yes, even the Pope. So why not one to represent the ride-or-die bond you share with your girlfriends?

I like to believe that when Marilyn Monroe sang “diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” it wasn’t a plea for materialism, it was about sentiment. Jewelry becomes meaningful when it’s wrapped in memory. So if you, like me, are ready to graduate from childhood trinkets to something just as heartfelt (but a little more grown-up), here are some gorgeous friendship rings to inspire your search.
