LOTR: Book, Movie, Fashion Trend??...... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sorry to burst your bubble, but, while the ring looks like The One Ring, it is most likely not (at least not on Kirsten Dunst). She is currently going out with Jake Gyllenhaal and that is a Promise Ring of sorts. It's very common for guys to give girls rings (frequently high school rings, actually) and for them to wear it around their neck. It's a fairly old-fashioned trend that has, as of late, started to come back. It very well could be the same with Hillary Duff, as she has a boyfriend, I think. A lot of my friends have had boyfriends give them rings and they wear it around their necks. So, while it would be interesting if the trend was catching on, it is most likely just the girls showing off their "Taken" status (at least for the moment).
