Gone. "Rough Diamonds" is "a series of hand-carved graphite rings that wear down over time, leaving a mark behind them." By UK artist Frances Andrews.

Bonus link: for a more permanent graphite ring, Korea's i3Lab has "The New Diamond," based on the concept that diamonds and graphite are just different arrangements of the same element, carbon.

Even more jewellery:

• Fríða Jónsdóttir (Iceland) - diamonds & silver
• Eriko Matsuda (Japan) - refined whimsy
• Jook & Nona (New York) - brass & fingerprints
