So cool

If Danielle Nicole Hills offers to uncork a bottle of red, make sure you know what you're in for. Shown above are the New York metalsmith's "Medical Sample" (with stage blood) and "Predator" rings from her collection, Gilding Primal Instinct. I get the feeling this is one person who embraces, rather than fears, Friday the 13th!

Bonus link: if you do have a case of friggatriskaidekaphobia, perhaps this totem shield ring from Fortune Favors the Brave(Shannon Davenport and Julia Wilson) will help you feel somewhat protected.

Even more jewellery:

• Martha Mitchell Design (UK) - bottles & snacks
• Talisman Unlimited (California) - hammered gold
• Dina Hald (Norway) - pictorial enamel

Scratch what I said yesterday. If anything reminds me of Cracker Jack, it's these treat-filled rings in crocheted vinyl from Missouri'so*LiveLand (Olive Kraus).

Bonus link:
Want more vinyl? How 'bout a vinyl record? When the Music's Over is a UK shop selling rings and cuffs made from recycled vintage records. Buy one and they'll send you a design picked at random.

Even more jewellery:

• Vinyl Cuts (Australia) - vinyl cutouts
• Kirsten Sonne (Denmark) - recycled toys
• Jensen-Conroy (New York) - modern knits
