    Nail Ring



    So I remember seeing a similar ring by Carol Christian Poell, but it's too late to find it. I resorted to making my own with common nails. After buying from my local hardware store for $1.00, I went to work with a monkey wrench and a pair of pliers. After messing up a few times, I managed to make two nearly identical nail rings which I intertwined to look like one long nail. Pics below!

      So the ring I remember seeing was just one long nail, but that would require a nail around 7" long but still malleable (not available at my local hardware store). So I came up with the idea of making two separate nail rings that could be worn in conjunction to look like one long one (cooler in my opinion). This is a picture of them separate on my finger:







      After putting both on, I push the second one down and put the point into the space of the first ring, then spin it until the point and head are on the other side of my thumb.

          Nice job, you are really creative! How do you take the ring off? It don't really look like it slides on and off.

            Wow, very nice! I'm also curious how you get it on and off.

              It's actually two separate nail rings that can't come off when they're on together, I have to put them on one-by-one and slide them into place.





              Thanks for the feedback and questions!
