Favorite Friday and Fabulous Links!

Cool blues and blue greens are running through my mind as I stare at the glass pearls mix I'm working with and drawing out a design. I'm thinking of a ring to go along with the necklace design. Here are some inspiring ring designs on Etsy for today's Friday Favorites....

Blue Transparent Ladybug Ring

Satellite Turquoise Ring
