Lauren Conrad stopped by The Grove in Los Angeles to sign copies of her new books Sugar and Spice and Lauren Conrad Style over the weekend, and her animal instincts came out via her accessories. In particular, Lauren Conrad wore a diamond-encrusted ring in the shape of a panther on her right ring finger. Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Anita Ko is the one behind the design, which is available for $5,500 on Net-A-Porter.com. If you want something similar without the hefty price, try Rachel Roy's panther ring style for $48.
