Architecture Rings Let You Wear Your Beloved Cities Wherever

Thought these were interesting...

Imagine moving your family to a new city every few years. This is what Serbian goldsmith Ola Shekhtman does on a regular basis in order to familiarize herself with a new urban center. Trained in St. Petersburg, she takes the iconic elements of cities like London, Paris, and New York, and turns them into beautiful rings. Shekhtman does everything by hand, in the manner of the old masters. This means that she melts the metal she uses herself, then rolls it, saws it, and solders it into its desired shape.

I don't know if I'd want to wear them, but they are beautiful!

Oh, I would definitely wear those! I've always, always wanted to go to London. Maybe wearing a London ring would be the cheap alternative! I might have ordered one in the 14k yellow gold but they're out of stock, and I don't like the plate or the silver so much.

Neat concept, but not something that I'd wear.

This is sort of like charms from cities or countries but with more dimension. But it seems that charms are our of fashion now except for those pandora type The rings are pretty.

It's interesting that quite a few responses have been in the "pretty but wouldn't wear" category. I love fun items like this. But then, I have a large pair of silver horse stud earrings that I wear with pride, and other quirky stuff.

If the 14k was available I might well have ordered one right now. Maybe I can't go to London, but I can wrap London around my finger!

I thought so too!

They do look nicely made. I wonder how she came up with the concept.

I don't know how comfortable they would be, but they are very pretty.

Yeah, they are different. I agree it's a cool concept though.

I sometimes get an ornament or pin from cities I visit. Now that I think about it...jewelry would be a much better idea! Great thought Jamba!

Chicago would be cool. Sketchadesign on etsy does a Chicago skyline necklace.

Good point! I hadn't thought of them like charms, but definitely a similar concept.

Ha! I like the way you think!

Thanks to everyone for looking! I always like to check out different types of jewelry. I guess that's why I'm on PS all the time!
