beautiful things

Fragmented ring, by Johnny Ninos.

I saw this image of Johnny Ninos's work on Modish yesterday, and just had to find out more. Not only does he make these beautiful rings out of stones and other items that he finds in nature, but he then packages them in these amazing salvaged redwood boxes with a lovely piece of canvas and some chalk, to keep the silver in the rings from tarnishing. I think that everything about these are beautiful, from the design of the jewelry and the amazing packaging to the fantastic photographs of the work.
