If you've ever found yourself having the 'postmodern' vs. 'post-postmodern' debate, then here's a necklace to state which side of the fence you're on.

An excellent choice for a gift, perhaps?

"Designers Marina and Susanna Sent belong to a family which has worked for generations in Murano, the ancient center for the production of Venetian glass. The sisters continue the ancient tradition, giving a contemporary edge to the timeless art form. This refined piece resembles a cluster of bubbles, which sparkle with reflected light."

With modern items usually leaning towards the polished and lacquered look, something like these wood rings and hooks would be a natural contrast (either in a room or upon the body).

Rings, $30 ea.:"The finger rings are created from hardwood tree branches and are finished with marine-grade polyurethane to make them water resistant and more durable...Because the rings are handcrafted, the sizes are approximate, but we can come pretty close."

Hooks, $30 ea.:"Handcrafted from Maple, Beech or Birch or other hardwoods grown in Jacksonville, Vermont, these Timber products are individually unique. The wood is cut, naturally dried for 24 months and then crafted into its final shape. No two pieces are exactly alike, but the size of most of these Timber items can be customized to fit your particular needs."

These are so very clever(!)...keep in mind that each piece is unique and apparently sells fast.

Whoa. I don't know if I would pleased or freaked out if someone wanted my profile on their finger, but it's bound to be impressive no matter what the initial response might be.

"CONTURA, platinum (also available in stainless steel, silver, white and yellow gold) a ring that is made from the profile of the carrier or the presenter. An original in the best sense. You submit a profile photo along with ring size to Fitzsu and we send the information to Germany to be custom made. CONTURA is simple and easy to identify. There is hardly a ring on the market that is more personal, more individual, and more emotional than the CONTURA. Take your loved one's profile with you everywhere you go- who could want more?"

Prices start at $580. and vary based on material and size.

Recently DesignBoom was selling some of 22designstudio's rings, and they sold out in a flash. I was lucky enough to get one, and I've got to say I love it.  The rings are made of Stainless and concrete, and the concrete feels surprisingly smooth.

"Drawn freehand by the designer, the circular frame of this ring acts as the beginning of a dialog between the designer and the person wearing it. The circular design creates ever-lasting space for communication and interaction between creator and receiver, designer and customer."

I'm kind of liking this pin. Perhaps it would cheer up some passers-by on your daily commute to work?

"This is how an unfortunate moment becomes a fun accessory. A two part pin made from gold matt finish acrylic that will surely make passers by smile. Just smile back."

From part of the ever-changing cadre of designs available from Designboom, these concrete rings are a great buy and actually come in wearable sizes.
