Gerlinde Huth / Yael Herman / Jan Kerkstra & Marion Pannekoek

Each of these talented jewellers deserves her own post but I couldn't resist the parallels (in more ways than one). At left are rings from the "Duotex" range by London-based Gerlinde Huth; both are stacks of multiple rings, not individual items. At right are pieces by Tel Aviv's Yael Herman; the square is another ring set, made up of her "origami" and diamond "ice stick" rings, while the long "stream" ring (which crosses four fingers) is stainless steel with diamonds that slide in the groove. Plenty more to see on both websites!

Bonus link: if you mixed the bar rings and square rings above, you might end up with something like this piece by Dutch jewellers Jan Kerkstra & Marion Pannekoek.
