This a prototype ring I designed in December.

I hand carved a piece of cocobolo wood for the ring then inlaid a broken usb stick into the top. I have added two metal plates to keep the usb in place.

I originally planned for this ring to have a working usb drive that could be slid out. But this design leaves the drive pretty unprotected and is a bit fiddly unless the wearer plans on carrying round a miniature screw driver :D

This design is not yet for sale until I have decided whether to leave it as a basic piece of jewellery or to make it a working usb drive.

If you like my work, why not follow me on FaceBook at this [link]

Your scraps pile must have a lot of interesting bobs and bits in it :D I'd say filling the cavity with enamel or resin would be a nice touch.

Hey Gillian! As you've suggested, I'm hoping to use a resin in the cavity. but its a material I have no experience in using, so I'm taking some time to research the best material for the job. :-)

;D Me neither. And you have to mix it just right, I've heard. I had also heard that "Crystal" was the brand or something that gives the clearest look... It is expensive to try, so I haven't yet. There are too many different things I want to do! ;D I think you can mix up a small amount for testing. Use a bottle cap or something cheap and throw away. And then, avoiding air bubbles...

I personally like it as it is, a bit of geek jewelry that doesn't need to serve any other purpose.
