Jewelry Inspiration: Artistic House Rings
Guest Blog Friday, July 27, 2012 at 9:00AM 
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. Look at these amazing house rings from the UK!
The fact that my neighbour likes to blast shrill, trumpety jazz at three in the morning makes these house rings all the more appealing to me right now. Nevermind the square footage — when can I move in? Find "The Whole Street," "Hilltop Houses" and "H for House" rings, plus much more to amaze and delight, in the portfolio of UK artist Gillian Harvie.
Bonus link: this house ring is made of a page from a Chinese dictionary — specifically, the page containing the definition for "home." Aptly, it's from the "Home" series by Dutch artist Marieke van Diepen.
Even more jewelry:
- House of Harlow (California) - deco style
- Noot (France) - modern metal
- Silvia Weidenbach (Germany) - enamel adornments
If you're interested in learning more about jewelry design, we encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng Shui, Wedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.
