Literary Jewels

Artist Jeremy May carves holes into books and laminates the results in order to create rings. He makes jewelry out of books by laminating hundreds sheets of paper together, then carefully finishing to a high gloss.

The paper is selected and carefully removed from a book, and the jewelry re-inserted in the excavated space. Pictured above is a ring made from Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman.

Luxury Jewelry Collection Inspired by Alice In Wonderland

The Brazilian brand H.Stern in partnership with Disney has released an extraordinary luxury collection of unusual ring inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” of Tim Burton. Strange roses, colorful mushrooms, bird from beautiful garden, the Cheshire Cat, Jabberwocky and other wonders.

The collection consists of five rings that are all made of gold. Some items are covered with colored enamel and adorned with diamonds. All products are made under order, and like in the movie, sizes/proportions can vary considerably depending on what you want. The jewelry can be ordered in two sizes - “human dimension” and “extraordinary dimension” which are enormous sculptures.

Brace yourselves though, they're insanely expensive!

Varini's Optical Illusions

Felice Varini is known for creating illusions of flat graphics on 3 dimensional spaces. From a fixed viewpoint these graphics will look falt.

His latest project Cercle et Suite D'eclats takes on the challenge of working at a much bigger scale, the scale of a village. In this project, he superimposed perfect circles on a town called Vercorin in the Swiss Alps. From within the village, the graphics are fragmented and don't make much sense, but from a distance, the lines form a series of rings!!!

More of his work after the jump.
