Emily Bute / Elizabeth Goluch / Anna Ruth Henriques

Above, two metalsmiths who make me want to accessorize with creepy critters: Brooklyn's Emily Bute (tardigrade ring in silver, jet, copper and enamel, top) and Elizabeth Goluch of Halifax (silver wood-louse, bottom).

Bonus link:
This chunky black ring is topped with a gold spider, the signature of Jamaica native Anna Ruth Henriques (now based in NYC).
