Luz Arias / Núria Farré Pàmpols / Emma Kidson

What do accordions, honeycombs, boxes, flutes and 18th century French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau have in common? They all have pleats named after them! Luckily, you don't have to be able to differentiate them in order to enjoy them. Rings with pleats (and other shapes) from Argentina's Luz Arias, above, and Spain's Núria Farré Pàmpols, below.
