Spurred on by an allergy to metal, The Carrotbox "is a site dedicated to all those wonderful rings made of glass, lucite, resin, plastic, jade, wood, bakelite and even stone — anything, as long as it's not metal!" (so says the owner, Alice) She was too modest to mention though, that The Carrotbox is an amazingly unique site with a HUGE selection of quality, vintage, handmade, wonderful rings for every finger and every outfit. In fact, this site is partially what contributed to my interest in vintage lucite which I now frequently use in my own jewelry works. Inspiration aside, I think it would be impossible to cruise through Alice's site without finding at least one (more likely twenty) rings that you'd love to have. And, since they're not made with precious metals, the price tag may just let you buy out your every heart's desire. Here are some of my personal faves:
These lucite ones:
And these glass ones: (first 2 are murano glass, 3rd one handmade by Alice herself!)
And these, a Japanese kimono ring, wooden ring, and handmade resin ring:
Go now, surf, peruse, explore the lovely Carrotbox. It's updated every other Monday, so be sure to check back in, and if you see something you just adore, you better snatch it up because things sell fast!
