Design Porn: Stephanie Bates

I've been staring at this piece of jewellery by Stephanie Bates for a while now. At first, I was trying to work out exactly what it was (it's a ring) and then trying to work out if it would even be comfortable to wear. I'm thinking that it'll take a while to get used to, but once you do I think it'll be a very striking piece of jewellery.

Yeah, I love this. I can't not. Here are some more pieces from Stephanie's 'Changes in State' collection - inspired by architecture and the constant changes of our landscape.

This cube pin is very cool, but I think I'd worry about it catching on something and flinging off never to be found again.

Luckily this piece looks a little more sturdy. And a lot more flamboyant.

I love that you can wear them however you like - just slip your finger through a different side when you fancy a change. You can buy some of the collection from Stephanie's online shop (prices start around £40) but also at the jewellery design collective Vanilla Ink where there are loads more goodies from other jewllers.
