D I Y / Hardware Store Rings

Photobucket

Photobucket

Stop by the plumbing section of the hardware store next time you are looking for new jewelry. These brass things apparently are made to connect two tubes with eachother but they look more like rings to me. They make the most delicious clicking sound when wearing them.

Such a great idea! That's what makes you so unique and inspiring.

They're obviously selling them in the wrong department. How could anyone not notice they are actually rings?

They look gorgeous on you, especially with those white nails! I love it. But I have to ask... how can you function without being able to fully articulate your fingers? Looks like the rings are going over the top knuckle, so I'm assuming you can't bend it, right? I think that would drive me insane if I tried to survive a day like that. Look amazing though!

who cares about comfort!
haha no, I care about a little practicallity! And these are actually not that bad..you should try it!
The rings end right on the joint so you can still bend it a bit. And if you think about it, the joint that you bend the most is the first and not the second, and the fact that my index finger can move freely compensates a lot too.

I have a habit of finding nuts and bolts around on the street and turning them into rings/necklace pendants. There's something so lovely about them.

First time to comment but your blog is such an inspiration and I look forward to every post. Your new hair looks awesome too. Just added you to the blogroll of my somewhat neglected blog x

Very creative...and sometimes the sound a piece of jewelry makes is better than the item itself.

Love your blog!

Excellent idea, I might visit hardware store myself and pick some "jewelry" there. In general, I love your DIY projects as well as your blog - it´s very inspiring. I wish you were my older sister :)

lovely! i wonder what would my IT boyfriend said:-)

Floria said...

5inch and up already did this a while ago with almost identical text passage. Seems like you just copied her ideas and presented them as your's.....lame.

LOVE AESTHETICS said...

Hey Floria,

1st of all:I do not copy any ideas. never. That's something that goes against my deepest values.

2. As you can see, I always put the right credits if I use someone else's content. A coincidense is that one of my latest posts I used on of the images of 5 inch&up
I recently started reading her blog and I never came across that post. (looking for it now though)

3. I've been using plumbing tubes as jewelry for YEARS. It's a pretty obvious thing to do,(it's round, it's brass, it fits around your finger, anyone can come up with that) As you can read in the comments a lot of people from all around the world do! Did they all get it from me or from 5inch &up? No, they came up with it themselves, and so did I.

Unknown said...

Genius! I love little tips like this :)

I've never thought of using those rings as actual rings for your hands! My husband has a few in the garage. I wonder if he'll let me wear them! I don't think they are as shiny as the ones in your pictures, though. You say that you can get them at basically any hardware store?

I can't believe these rings were made out of supplies from a hardware store. The rings are really unique and I've never seen anything like them before. It would be a lot of fun to do rings like these for my friend for her birthday because she's really into jewelery and I think she would really like them. http://www.siweklumber.com/builders-hardware/
