Kirsten Grünebaum / Cynthia Lewis / Metamorphosis Metals / Torz Cartwright

The neighbour's cat "played" with something and left me a mangled "gift" on the deck — can you guess what it was?

No, it wasn't a ring. Feather rings above by Germany's Kirsten Grünebaum.

Above, more plumes from Texas artist Cynthia Lewis (left) and Raleigh, NC jeweller Sonya Coulson Rook of Metamorphosis Metals (right).

Bonus link: this oxidized silver "flight" band is one of many nature-inspired styles by English jeweller Torz Cartwright.

Even more jewellery:

• Anne Mersmann (Germany) - cuffs & collars


• Simon Muscat (Vancouver) - sculptural metal


• Gracie J Designs (Scotland) - geometric beads
