I love these rings..Not only are they unusual but the way they are made is intriguing. The way the stones on the rings allow light to shine through is fascinating. It seems to change the whole "character" of the ring..Like comparing the ring with black stone and the one with green stone. The designs are similar but the colour of the stones on the ring make them look different..It seems to me that even the texture of the metal looks different. The way the metal seems to be  laid onto is appealing because usually its the stone on the metal.. Reference: I found this image here



 Dislike:

This piece of jewellery was aptly named "Vertebrae" by its designers. It is made of glass filled nylon.. I find it completely distasteful to say the least. It is too reminiscent of a culture that defines beauty as bones that stick out. It makes the wearer look deformed.. The way the jewellery resembles bones makes it downright unattractive for me.. And yet in another way I find it clever and really creative..and I realise that it must have taken some level of skill to create..

The pictures above are of magnetic curtains...They can be shaped into almost any shape whether they are opened or closed..I love the idea because I easily get bored with same thing day after day.. I can just imagine the several ways in which I could fold the curtains and create a new effect.. :) I also like the design because it is innovative and yet simple. Its versatility holds the greatest appeal for me.. The colours used on the curtains are neutral allowing you to work with the curtain however you want..

Dislike:

This is a design for a bed...I find it really impractical and rather narrow minded...Obviously very few people sleep in one position all night long..I think it would be really uncomfortable and its not necessarily functional because beds are supposed to be comfortable.. On the other hand though one could argue that it is a humorous design and is on some level creative but I don't like it..I mean when it comes down to it you want to sleep  comfortably right..? :)
