Yasmine Ellis / Dottyral

I know I posted some other measuring tape rings just a couple of months ago but I couldn't pass these ones up. What I really like about today's designer is how she uses measuring tape to "draw" images, coiling the coloured tape into miniature sculptures.

Like so! For more, see Australia's Yasmine Ellis.

Bonus link: perhaps you're a seamster/tress who's looking for both form and function in your jewellery (unravelling that measuring tape would be a shame). For you, Maryland's Dottyral offers a number of pincushion rings.

Even more jewellery:
