Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians! Among those would be Montreal's Bijoux Pépine (Perrine Marez), whose jewellery is "made with sand, spices and/or natural pigments crystallized in resin."

If these rings were mine, I'd probably want to wear them all at once, too. I love what California's Harwell Godfrey (Lauren Harwell Godfrey) does with triangles and hexagons. A lot of her rings are posted in video format, so go check her out to see the rest...

...including this Black Onyx Heart pendant. 100% of the profits from the sales of this pendant will be donated to the NAACP.

New York's Sewit Sium is not only a jeweller but an educator and believes that "adornment is not solely a marker of trend or wealth, but also a valuable educational tool, reflective of history, culture, tradition, and indigenous technologies." Her Harriet Tubman signet rings pay homage to the hero and are "a reminder for all warriors today that revolutionary change is possible to achieve through organized struggle."

All rings above by Illinois' Limba Gal (Jeneba Koroma).
