Jewelry Inspiration: The Latest Things for Rings

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 gives us a round-up of some of the more recent imaginative ways designers are making rings.

First up is IndustRing, "a collection of rings inspired of an industrial production process" created "by cutting brass rectangular profiles in different angles and reconnecting the pieces in various ways." By Israel's Dana Bachar-Schneorson.

Ash wood bow rings by Iceland's Hring Eftir Hring.

Minimalist metal from Croatia's Mirta (Andrea Simic).

"Marrying the Ocean" by the UK's Sadie Chesterman-Bailey, who imagined jewels discovered in the ruins of the Titanic.

Finally, a geometric array from New York's Erica Cho.

Bonus

If you like a little color with your geometry, check out British jeweller Hattie Rickards, who uses gems and enamel to brighten her designs. Shown here is her "Octo" flip ring.

Even more jewelry:

• Limor Reiss (Australia) - geometric cutouts
• Fort Standard (New York) - rope & brass
• Pyür (France) - golden straws

The rings are fabulous! I definitely love to wear those rings. But I also suggest that you should put some glittery stuff on it for it to be more attractive. Thank you for this post. I'm hoping to see more of those creative stuffs.

That geometric array from New York's Erica Cho really looks like an IQ test. Nice staff.

Jewellery always fascinate women whether it is a necklace, earrings, bracelet or ring, especially pearl jewellery. I think pearl is often preferred as it is versatile. I think if the kind of creativity as depicted above is implemented in pearl jewellery, it will score highest among all the other jewellery types.

Good collection I must say but I am more of a pure pearl person. I like simple pearl jewellery that goes with every type of dress and that I can wear at any occasion.
