Beautiful rings...

[mkd1187]

I love rings - and I just bought the book "500 Wedding Rings" - and there is so many beautiful ones. I posted some of these in the engagement ring forum, but most would not be functional as a wedding ring.

Scanned by me.

rings by pamela love..

Cadavers have always fascinated Pamela Love. The daughter of an orthopedic surgeon and the granddaughter of a dentist, the jewelry designer's bizarre childhood fixations—"I've always loved bones and teeth"—seem inevitable. Today, Love has parlayed her forensic interests (which, beyond the skeletal, include the zodiac and taro) into an eponymous jewelry line that fuses the whimsical with the raw. Love admits to also drawing heavily from the great outdoors. "I'm obsessed with nature and science," she says. As a result, the line is filled with wildlife references: a raven skull necklace, a fanciful talon cuff, and a bejeweled crab claw ring are among Love's favorite designs. "I like pieces that are both rock-and-roll but still earthy," she says.
Working in a number of materials from brass to 14-karat gold, Love's visual style was honed in part by her time as a filmmaker at NYU, where the precocious student was introduced to the moody aesthetic of surrealist cinematographer Alejandro Jodoworsky, who still informs her work today. Love's many artistic pursuits, (she's also a painter and spends her days assisting artist Franciso Clemente), eventually spawned jewelry making as an accidental hobby. But the accident has since flourished into a full-blown business. "I still paint," Love says. "But there is something about creating jewelry that is so personal to me."

I'd be more bothered by the appearance of the ring, myself.

I did not mean to post that as a literal wedding band. Yet I love it as a piece of art. The fact that its a rusted iron shackle on the finger - with a solid gold diamond padlock - I just love it for its design and irony. Trust me - that wont be my wedding band either

I love the rings in posts #41 and #42. Very unique!

And that wedding ring is a neat idea, but I'll stick with Tiffany's, thankyou!

i haven't bought a new ring in a long time..
this thread is really making me want one

i used to change up my rings to suit my moods or match my outfits but over the last year or so I've found myself wearing the same two rings (one on each hand) almost every day..
i like the familiarity but would love to add something to my little collection..

 

[iLoveCouture]

Those rings are absolutely gorgeous - you should wear them all at the same time
