Resin Ring Bling: Colors by Liza

These inexpensive adjustable disc rings from Colors by Liza caught our eye at last week’s Fashion Feud event (in case you haven’t heard, we’re suckers for sparkly objects). An artist based in San Francisco, Liza uses different-textured resins and mixed media on the cheerfully-hued business card compacts, pill boxes, clutch purses, iPod armor and cigarette cases she creates in her SoMa studio.

The overall effect is unabashedly crafty, yes, but also girlishly cute and gift-able for a variety of ages.
