Metal and Mesh Blend in Chic Jewelry Collections

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 wonderful metal work.

Are you feeling this ring? You should be — it's the "tactile" ring by UK jeweller Carrie Dickens.

Check out her gallery for lots of interesting, organic metalwork.

Bonus

For more draping metal rings, see Brooklyn's Semi Jewels (Ren Ariel Sano), who likes to "emphasize the tactile quality of the materials."

Even more jewelry:

• Buddha to Buddha (Netherlands) - chunky chains
• Jessica Flinn (UK) - metal lace
• Jess LC (Illinois) - bright baubles
