Octopus Ring Holders

My mother once lost the diamond in her wedding ring doing dishes at work. To prevent this, I made her a place she could keep her ring when she didn't want to lose it. And so I came up with the design for these nautical themed ring holders.

Each octopus is made by hand using polymer clay and then decorated with matching gemstones and placed on a seashell. Resin is added to the cup-positioned shells to create a pond effect, and then draped over the octopi to mimic the effect of being wet with water droplets. Sometimes I add realistic air plants and small shells to the outside for a more natural effect or to balance any tipping caused by the way the shell sits.
