Angela O'Keefe / Adreani

After a dip in the Dead Sea, Angela O'Keefe was inspired by how the salt crystals dried on her skin and sparkled like gems. Thus was born this collection featuring real salt crystals, resin, pigment and silver.

Above, rings from the Scottish jeweller's "sculptural" series. I wonder if it's just a coincidence that they look like salt and pepper shakers.

Bonus link: for more crystals and resin, check out Italy's Adreani Gioielli, who are all about glam, Swarovsvki-studded jewellery in black, white and clear (and the occasional spot of colour).

Even more jewellery:
