So many jewellery designs are referential; this Horn ring by Amanda Keiden brings to mind Cartier’s Juste un Clou, with it’s bent/rounded screw used as a bracelet or a ring. What I find somewhat dubious about the Cartier design is the pointed end, which I can see being the ruin of many scarves and sweaters.

Keiden’s Horn ring has the same basic design without the scary (and potentially lethal to fabric) sharpness. I like the more muted shape, and the diamond accent. And the price, given the way gold and diamonds are going these days, is also reasonable, at USD $1150. Keiden, who has a background in visual studies, has also ventured into things like awards design (The Streamy Awards, for web television), hand painted limited edition wallpaper, and a collection of jewelry for Eve Ensler’s organization http://www.vday.org.  She has also had paintings exhibited at a show benefitting the Andre Agassis Foundation. Keiden also takes commisions for custom work, exemplars of which can be seen on her site.
