Beate Eismann / Peg Fetter

While the garage might not be the place for your finest jewellery, these weighty hunks of metal by Germany's Beate Eismann would fit right in. She calls them an "artistic application of industrial construction." Which beats my description, "lug-nutty."

Bonus link: for somewhat industrial jewellery that's a bit more refined, turn to St. Louis jeweller Peg Fetter; pictured is her blackened steel ring with gold screw.

Even more jewellery:

• Spariam (Brazil) - silver & resin


• Steffen Lang (Germany) - carved iron


• Jane Lock (UK) - seed beads
