The newest addition is an unexpected twist, providing consumers with a unique silver thimble ring. The thimble was commonly used in the 1930s as a way to protect the fingers while the user repaired clothing. Balenciaga has reinvented the thimble as a fashion accessory with the ‘Thimble Necklace,’ ‘[Thimble Ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece),’ and ‘Thimble Earrings.’ The thimbles are branded with a Balenciaga logo, made in Italy from bronze and brass that is finished in a shiny silver. The thimble necklace, ring, and earring capsule are designed to replicate a functional thimble, staying true to the theme. The collection ranges from $350 to $550 USD and is available on the Balenciaga website.
