I recently mended a bracelet for a friend's wife and that got me thinking about making some more items. I had an idea to make a ring from a bent nail, a quick search on the interweb found that various people make them so it's hardly original. Picasso apparently once said "all art is theft" so here's my stolen goods.
Sterling Silver, with 925 stamp on the head of the nail.
I used a piece of scrap wire to make the nail shank but it's not quite long enough, next time I'll use a longer piece and that will enable me to bend it easier too.
I think these could also double as earrings but with a Ø3mm shank you'd need a decent sized piercing.

Do you sell these? teddybob54@gmail.com
Hi guy, THe only legal nail ring is available at www.theoriginalnailring.com . It is a patented design. As this fellow admits, he has stolen it and the sale of it by him would be illegal.
@ Border Guy - I don't sell anything, I only make items to further my skills and occasionally give items as presents.
