Erin Colleen Williams / Daniel Proulx

Making science pretty: "Observation Ring" with magnifying glass.

Making science putrid: said ring with decorative petri dishes.

Check out Philadelphia's Erin Colleen Williams for interesting work in a style I like to think of as "turn-of-the-centry mad scientist." (Turn of the last century, that is — that expression got really confusing around the year 2001.)

Bonus link:
Of course, if "turn-of-the-centry mad scientist" is your thing, steampunk jewellery is where it's at. Robot ring by Montreal's Daniel Proulx.

Even more jewellery:

• Alejandra Koreck (Argentina) - silver & copper


• Albeit (Jenny Lu) (Los Angeles) - delicate typography


• Parts by Heather (Vancouver) - recycled vintage


• Corry Ernsting Suermann (Germany) - modern artifacts


• Lisa Murray (UK) - coils on bands
