Lima 7192 / Badass Jewellery

Happy 2008! I've awakened from my winter snooze; the shop and the blog are both back in business! What better way to kick off the year than with a new favourite of mine: clear boro glass rings by Japanese designer Banri Miyashita, who designs as the label Lima 7192.

These and other pieces are available for ¥8,925-10,500 (roughly US$80-100) at Japanese webshop Kök (Swedish for "kitchen").

Bonus link: "toast" the new year with this deco toaster ring, CAD$495, from Toronto's Badass Jewellery. Designer Calvin Dana Munroe is one of the Devil's Workshop artists I mentioned in November.

Even more jewellery:

• Jennifer Fisher (New York) - charm necklaces


• Iosselliani (Italy) - modern luxe


• Louise Ashton Designs (UK) - dichroic glass
