Three of my favorite fancy rings. I post many photos of jewelry--but these are my very own that I get to look at every day, so I thought I'd share them. I have more of my personal jewelry that I'll talk about at another time, but I'll start small.
I bought the one on the left from Digby & Iona at the Young Designer's Market in Soho before Christmas. My sister has a matching one, except the stone is brass and the band is silver. I love their jewelry--they have a wonderful take on design and I could only hope to live up to that level of sophistication one day.
The ring in the middle was one of the first pieces of jewelry I ever made. I had decided that I was going to hammer out the ends, overlap them, and solder them together. Needless to say, it was an inane idea and didn't work at all--but I did serendipitously discover the ring I have now. I love the way the brass develops this satin patina over time. I've reproduced this ring in silver here, but I still love my brass original.
And the ring on the right is utterly phenomenal. Yes, it really is an eagle holding a salmon in it's talons. I saw it in Mexico in a small shop in Baja California and decided I had to have it. It's an eagle. Who just caught a salmon. And it's holding it in its talons. I don't know who decided to make this concept into a ring, but I love it. It's just ridiculous enough to be fabulous. Below is another photo so you can see the details.
you should post a photo of an indent made from this ring
