When we think of paper, jewelry isn't what usually comes to mind. But Melanie Brauner has transformed this everyday staple into resilient wearable art in this elegant handmade floral ring. Each piece is crafted by first transforming pulp and water into translucent paper "petals." They're then hand-dyed into rich ombré shades, sealed with resin, and arranged into a fresh bloom. The ring band is made with sterling silver. Available in sizes 4–12. Handmade in Washington.
