Marcella Ferretti / O.T.T. by Lia T / BBJUD

Germany's Marcella Ferretti plays with the familiar and utilitarian texture of reflector lights, accentuating their jewel-like properties.

This similar, flashlight-esque ring gets its sparkle from synthetic topaz; meanwhile, the pink and white ones lose their sparkle in a powder coating. Rings by Lia Tabrah of O.T.T. by Lia T.

Bonus link: Israeli jeweller Yehudith (or Judith) Ben Bag of BBJUD has recycled reflector rings in numerous colours set in both gold and silver. I love the vibrant green of the one pictured here.

Even more jewellery:

• Nicola Bannerman (Australia) - clean & contemporary


• Gauvreau (Quebec) - textured twotone
