Still feeling alliterative, so today is Titanium Tuesday. These pipe-like statement pieces in silver and anodized titanium are by Montreal's Maude Lapierre.
These swooping rings are from the "Arches" series by Cuba's Jorge Gil, a jeweller who works mainly in titanium.

I'm in an alliterative mood so let today be Modern Metal Monday, featuring Australia's Seb Brown (the site says "under construction" but the nav will lead you to the jewels). I love these shapes; they look like they have a modern mother and a pre-historic father.

What's the minimum number of birds required for a flock? Does two count? Three? From the let's-say-flock of three to the rather large scale, these rings are a fresh take on the classic bird motif. Rings by UK metalsmith Miranda Chambers.

Modern but not modern — that's the description that popped into my head when I saw these silver and textile pieces from UK jeweller Kayleigh Biggs. Not surprisingly, she states that her specialty is "jewellery with an evident historical influence."
Also inspired by history (and literature) is Seattle's Dorothy Cheng, who has a series of rings based on ancient shields.

Simple, delicate, charming. Rings by Japan's Mamelon (Maki Hasui).
More simple, delicate and charming. Rings by Japan's Mauve (Aoi Yamamoto, who named her line as a kind-of play on her name "Aoi," which sounds like the Japanese word for "blue").

If you've ever wanted to rule with an iron fist... UK jeweller Alice O'Neill "commemorate[s] the hidden connecting components and tools that we associate with clothes making." And clothes ironing and clothes laundering, as in these adorable washing symbol rings.

August weather and Tuesday's ants have me thinking of picnics — as does this gingham-print ring from Karen Kenniz. The Belgian jeweller is all about simple silver with happy bits of colour.
Here's some more gingham-y, picnic-y fun from Taiwan's The Heyday Shop, which sells cute fabric supplies as well as accessories.
Get even more gingham (on the diagonal, this time) and other kitschy jewellery from Dutch shop Tizzalicious.

If you thought yesterday's sugar rings were pretty sweet, here's some more from England's Natalie Smith. Is it bad to say I want to lick them all?
You can measure out your sugar in spoonfuls (spoonsful?) with this spoon ring from Amsterdam's Sayaka Abe. Visit her site for a series of knife rings.

Ants don't do Atkins — they know sugar's where it's at. In this playful collection, Japan's Ai Yano uses foraying ants to symbolize her own forays abroad (she's a student in Scotland).
For more insects, check out these embossed pieces from Germany's Kirsten Wittstruck.

This ring is you-know-what. I'm kinda breaking my own rule here because I already blogged Steven Shein five years ago. Since then, though, he's been working on new projects, such as his Neivz line; the smoking ring is in collaboration with L.A.'s The Coquette. Also available in black.
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. And sometimes, there's ash, as in New Zealand's Ash Hilton, who makes clean and simple etched designs.

Who says you shouldn't cast pearls before swine? Certainly not Spain's Andrea Coderch.
And definitely not Japan's e.m.
You can count out Japan's Gargle, too.
And one more naysayer from Japan, Macaron.
So, now that you have all those pearly swine rings, where do you put them? On the smiling, ceramic Pig for Pearl jewellery holder, of course.

There's a great bit in The Social Network when Jesse Eisenberg spits, "You have part of my attention. You have the minimum amount." Well, here are some minimalist rings that have my maximum attention: tiny boxes and pearls by Spain's Indra Karpaviciute.
Above, some more minimalist boxes and squares from New York's Caitlin Mociun.
Pictured are more tiny cubes from UK jeweller Julian Stephens' "Cubist" range. You can have the cube set straight or on its corner.

UK jeweller Elizabeth Humble turns humble wire into shimmering cityscapes. In her own words:
My inspiration comes from the beautifully rugged and dramatic landscape of the west coast of Scotland. I like to create work that explores the land in an abstract and challenging way, unearthing details, and exploring natural rock formations hidden beneath the surface of the land. I have developed a unique technique layering silver wires together to create intricate structures in precious metals.
