Starting the week and ending the month with the rarity that is the paper mache ring! These two are so vernal, which is funny for a post on the unofficial summer/autumn cusp (in Canada, at least), but so be it. For more work in a variety of different styles, see Spain's Andrés González.

If ever there were a case of photos not doing the rings justice, this is it. To fully appreciate the works of UK-based Ieva Mikutaite, you really need to see them in motion, so go check out some (or all) of her many short videos.

A signet with some edge — literally, in the form of an ouroboros.
If you're looking for a "future heirloom," California's Talon (Emily Hirsch) is a good place to start.

Glass rings with an inner glow(-in-the-dark) by Japan's Mokuren.

Don't fix it — it ain't broke. Not unintentionally, anyway. Russia's OSSA brings a little "antifashion" to your fingers with this eyecatching series.

French jewellers 22.77 have a bold but minimal style, some with a texture representing "a long way from clean shapes to chaos."
Tuesday, August 11, 2020
These rings look to me like someone's insouciant signature, the kind you get to have when there isn't a "t" to cross or an "i" to dot. For more minimal silver jewellery, see Japan's Little Riddle.

I love the cosmic look of this snake ring by Singapore's Ferne Atelier, who also made the ring holders (both in polymer clay; gold rings from By Invite Only). The main theme of their work, however, is botanical — as with these awesome turtle terrarium earrings!

Some fabulously chunky Lucite "anvil" rings by New York's Jorge Caicedo Montes de Oca, who normally repurposes old Bakelite to create contemporary jewellery over at The Art of Bakelite.

I don't think I even need to say that these rings come from Greece. What I will say is that they come from, more specifically, Kourtzis Art Pottery, a family business that's been around for 200 years and five generations!
