PHILIPPE TOURNAIRE ARCHITECTURAL RINGS




Philippe Tournaire
Not only of marriage of architecture and jewelry, but fashion and a possible weapon.
These were spotted via a blog I follow Matter of Style and these would make an interesting fashion statement and would be a great conversation piece at a big event, but look like they would be a bit bulky and bordering on ostentatious for everyday wear.
