Betty Pepper / Millemo

Destroying books is sacrilege! But creating rings is... whatever the opposite of sacrilege is! I'm torn... like the pages of this book! While my mind runs in an infinite loop, please enjoy the work of British artist Betty Pepper, who creates jewellery using aged and faded textiles that she feels are "constantly in a state of deterioration."

Bonus link: for a ring covered in words of your own choosing (perhaps from your favourite book), get a customized text ring from Millemo of France.

Even more jewellery:

• Kirstin Ash (Australia) - vintage style


• Ema Fernandes (Brooklyn) - wood & metal


• Alex Fabry (Belgium) - textured silver
