I'll let Italy's Ylenia Deriu take us into the weekend with these words, describing her "Profile" series:

Time freezes. The memory of the past is embedded in an everlasting sprout of brass gems. The buzz of the city sleeps under a shining veil. Metal is everywhere, metal assaults the matter. Metal infests my hills and invades my cities, metal absorbs the places where I live.

The artist calls it a "Phrenology Crown," so I guess it's neither. But the two pieces directly above are rings, and you can check them out (and more) by visiting Tennessee metalsmith Darcie Beeman-Black.
