Geometry and Strong Lines Inspire These Jewelry Creations

The Carrotbox is a site dedicated to all those wonderful rings made of glass, lucite, resin, plastic, jade, wood, bakelite, metal, and even stone. Alice Matsumoto from Vancouver, BC, Canada has a ring shop and has kindly given us permission to inspire our jewelry lovers at Sheffield with her discoveries. In this post, Alice focuses on imaginative uses of line and geometric form.

In grade 4, while making posters for Easter, my art teacher got me hooked on the technique of going over the outlines of my drawings with a black Sharpie. To my 9-year-old self, it made everything look so much better. While I doubt London's Janice Zethraeus was Sharpie-crazy like me, the illustrator-turned-jeweller shows her love of thick, fluid lines in her metalwork. Shown above is her "hole" ring in oxidized silver.

Bonus

Here's another ring my Sharpie-loving former (and present-day) self would love. Ring by Germany's Corinna Loelgen, whose work is based on architectural forms.

Even more jewelry:

• Victoria Thay (UK) - lines on hexagons
• Brice Garrett (Massachusetts) - wood art
• Ana Cavalheiro (Virginia) - moonstone cabs
