I don't generally wear jewellery other than watch and wedding ring. The few pieces of contemporary jewelry I used to wear have been MIA in my house for a few years now. I was recently cleaning out a cupboard and found the old pieces of jewellery I used to wear. Some interesting designs. No idea what do with these items now, can't see me wearing them again, I am just not in the habit of wearing this stuff.
First up is a silver bracelet from a company called Werkstatt Munchen. It is a heavy chain bracelet with a tiger head and flower clasp.

Next up is an interesting ring made from stainless steel. I recall it was from an Italian sounding contemporary jewellery house, I cant recall the name? If anyone recognizes it and can tell me the manufacturer I would appreciate it.
The ring is split and pivots. It needs a bit of a polish to get some of the surface "character" scratches out of it.

Lastly is another ring. No idea who made this. I believe it is made from silver and does not fully go round the finger.
It sits around the finger and leaves two 3D elongated elliptical shapes that sit parallel to your finger. Quite a clever design, when the top of your hand is viewed the 3D ellipses look like they are floating between the fingers as you can not see the connecting part of the ring on the underside of your hand. -
Mystery of the above rings solved. I got in touch with the store I bought them from years ago and they still sell the collections from the two designers.
1. Catamaran, between-the-fingers-ring in silver by Angela Hubel (Germany)
2. Multiple Ring in stainless steel by Hubert Verstraeten (Belgium) -

That one looks good as usual from Ironheart :). I was thinking something a bit smaller/less bulky though (not ready to wear anything too big) and maybe some details around the "shoe", see example below.

I like the bracelet and catamaran ring @ddtrash, not feeling them anymore?

Not really been a jewellery kind of chap. Bought these pieces as a bit of an experiment and they got minimal use and ended up stashed away in storage. Found them again recently which is why I added them to this thread.
The craftsmanship of the bracelet in particular is particularly nice and a really unique design.
No idea what to do with the jewellery now.

About ten years ago there used to be a jewellery shop just off Carnaby Street in London, which I am sure was owned by (and or called) Jeremy Hoye, who currently has a jewellery shop in Brighton.
It was a multibrand store and one of the early ones to stock obscure Japanese jewellery brands who catered for men.
One day, I walked in there and came across a brand called Glenn. The bracelets were some of the best I have ever seen. Made in Japan from Ibushigin (pretty sure that was it) smoked silver, which had a beautiful dark patina to it. Some of the rings were pretty awesome too.
Being skint at the time, I did not get the bracelet but kept going back to look at it (longingly) many times. When finally went back to buy it, the shop had closed down. The jewellery brand also now seems to be defunct.
Managed to find one of their rings from a Japanese seller. Cloud design with what looks like dragon scales. It is beautifully made with a lot of texture to it. 18k gold has been inlaid at various points. Paid £95 for it including shipping!
If anyone knows of anywhere else can get one of their pieces please do let me know!
