How to use a scarf ring or clip ?
Wearing a scarf is always chic and elegant—it’s that little extra touch that takes your look to the next level. Today, scarves are an essential fashion accessory that you should carefully select to match your outfits, occasions, and even seasons.
Have you considered using a ring to tie your scarves? It’s a unique touch that will definitely turn heads!
In addition to the various ways to tie your scarf, there’s a charming little accessory that can give your scarf or shawl a brand-new look: a scarf ring or clip! But what does it look like? There are several types: simple pieces resemble a finger ring, double pieces look like a figure eight with two interlocking rings, and triple pieces feature three rings arranged in a triangle.
Why Use a Scarf Ring?
A scarf ring is both elegant and practical. It adds a luxurious touch to your scarf, much like jewelry, while helping you position and adjust it effortlessly. A scarf ring or clip simplifies tying your scarf and expands your styling possibilities. With this small scarf accessory, creating a beautiful, perfect knot becomes a breeze!
There is a wide variety of scarf rings available on the market, made from various materials such as metal, gold, silver, gemstones, leather, wood, enamel, or plastic.
Typically, a scarf paired with a metal ring is worn for special occasions, complementing formal attire such as for weddings or special events (see our pages on scarves for ceremonies). On the other hand, if you choose a scarf ring in a simpler material like leather, it can be worn daily for a casual look.
Here’s an ultra-simple tip: rummage through your jewelry box and experiment with your finger rings! Adjustable rings and lightweight, larger ones can easily be repurposed as scarf rings.
Choosing the Right Scarf and Ring
Scarves that work well with scarf rings include silk scarves—whether square or rectangular—or lightweight scarves made from cotton-silk blends, modal-silk, or wool-silk combinations. Here are some of our chic and elegant scarf models, perfect for pairing with a scarf ring or clip:

Next, you need to choose the scarf ring or clip. There is a wide selection of models to choose from—gold or silver, with or without colored stones, and in various sizes. If you have a very lightweight scarf, such as one made of silk chiffon, opt for a small, lightweight ring. If you have a scarf made of silk twill or a cotton-silk blend, look for a larger, wider ring. Here are some models that you can easily find in online stores.
For a harmonious look, create beautiful color combinations between your scarf and the scarf ring. Try to match the colors. For example, for an orange scarf ring, choose a scarf that includes that shade, and you’re good to go. To make it easier and to avoid mistakes, opt for a colorless scarf jewelry piece, such as all gold or all silver, and you’ll be able to tie any style of scarf, with various colors, into an elegant knot, from vintage scarves to luxury scarves.
How to put on and tie a scarf with a ring or scarf ring, step by step:
Step 1: Folding Techniques
Fold the scarf to make it easier to insert the ring. For a rectangular scarf, fold it lengthwise. For a square scarf, simply fold it into a triangle. A second option is to roll the triangle to form a strip. For an evening look, you can wear the scarf as a shawl over your shoulders without folding it.
Step 2: Tying Techniques
There are several ways to tie your scarf. Place the folded scarf behind your neck and bring the two ends in front. Pass the two ends through the ring and gently slide the ring to the desired position. Another way is to wrap the folded scarf around your neck and bring the ends to the side before threading them through the ring.
Step 3: Inserting the Ring
Thread the two ends of the scarf through the ring to secure it in place after choosing your preferred knot. To secure the scarf further, you can tighten the ring if possible.
Different Ways to Wear a Scarf Ring:
A scarf simply wrapped around your neck with the ring as a knot will give you a classic style.
For a chic look, wear the scarf draped and tied in a sophisticated manner.
For a more casual style, wrap the scarf several times around your neck and pass the ring through to hold the two ends together, giving a bohemian look.
