Matina Amanita's Travelling Fingers

When I was a girl, my favorite ride at Disneyland was "It's a Small World" (except for the foul smelling water the boats floated in -- but that's for another day). So imagine the look of unadulterated joy on my face when I first laid eyes on these new rings by Matina Amanita (the sister of designer Pim Sukhahuta). Each piece in this appropriately named "Globe Trotter" collection was inspired by awesome architecture found in major cities around the world. (Well, maybe not the London Pub, but it makes for some great finger candy!)

In Matina's own words: "Ideas gathered from my experience traveling the world, where I noticed how a culture and tradition are what makes each city stands out as an individual. Only recently, it occurred to me how architecture tells a beautiful tale of the city it lives in. The rings mimic the building standing tall, sparkling gems light up the night, reminding of the city memories were once made." (Hmmm, I wonder if we can get her to do a collection based on Marchesa's latest collection?)
