Jewellery on a man elicits various responses from appreciation to abhorrence.
I Love Ugly has tried its best to rework an accessory that makes a lot of males a little uneasy and turn it into something the more dubious could potentially see themselves wearing.
Its debut collection features three rings that are made from a cast and hand finished by Meadowlark.
“The handcrafted finish of each piece means each ring is unique as a result of the distressed finish of the jewellery,” says an I Love Ugly spokesperson.
“Each of the three rings, made from oxidised silver, comes with a hand engraved quote on the inside.”
The triangle logo ring is available in 18K gold and retails for US$2,110. The oxidised silver ring retails for between US$255 and US$335.
The collection is available online at www.iloveugly.com and in the I Love Ugly New Zealand, Los Angeles, Sydney, and Melbourne flagship stores from December 3.
