Jewelry Inspiration: Here's Looking at You, Kid

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 some eerie rings that watch you.

There's something vaguely, disconcertingly alien—sentient, even—about these "hose rings" from Germany's Höllwerk (Astrid Zipp & Christine Maxand). It's like they're looking at me! I, for one, welcome our new ring-shaped overlords.

Bonus

Here's a ring that''s definitely looking at you. Glass and silver ring by Mexico's RXVrings (Ruben Viramontes), who makes lots of eye and skull jewellery.

Even more jewelry:

• Fisheye Jewelry (California) - dyed eyeballs
• Pernille Schou-Elsass (Denmark) - simple circles
• Anna Von Bergmann (Germany) - cabs & cords

Jewelry for kids are very less these days, and jewelry like these are hard to find.
I love the design of all of them specially the first two rings. I am pondering to buy this for my sisters infant. Thanks for this nice informative post.
