Finger Strumming
Strum a few chords on the music lover's heartstrings with this hand-twisted ring. The artist, Christopher Stiles, sources the recycled, sometimes broken guitar strings from music stores and guitar shops around his California home, which he twists into attractive bows tipped with sterling silver-plated beads. The bow is held together with the "ball end" found on the end of the guitar strings. Handmade in California.

Christopher Stiles
While studying abroad in England in his youth, Christopher Stiles noticed an art gallery selling hand-blown glass in the window. The experience
compelled him to seek new ways to express his ideas through hand-formed objects.
Upon returning to the U.S., Stiles earned a Bachelor's degree in fine art, with a focus in ceramics from California State University, Long Beach. After graduation, he apprenticed with a master mold maker to further hone
his skills. See

too small

I would buy 3 right NOW!
Linda
I can't imagine wanting this unless one is a guitar player, which most people aren't. I can't imagine who else it would appeal to.

I think it is very creative. There are so many musicians out there. I'm not, but my boyfriend is and wearing this ring would be meaningful and cute.
Lisa

It's a GREAT accessory at a GREAT price point and would be wonderful to wear here in New Orleans, where music is so part of the lifeblood of this city and culture.
Heather

Kinda like it, but I think it has a very limited projected buyer. I would only buy it if I was musical, and am not.

I definitely like the concept of this ring. I wish it came in bigger sizes though. My ring finger is a size 9, and I think this ring looks great on the middle finger, as shown in the picture.

With the work I do, the loops of the bow would catch on things and be dangerous for me to wear.

i would wear this ring every day! it's such a lovely design that can also be considered hard core. I like that it's a subtle nod for those who will recognize that it's a guitar string.

Deborah

it would be cheaper for me to buy guitar strings and make it myself. And it's hard to say that these days!
Marcus

I really like the idea, but I think it's needs to be redesigned.
Elizabeth

I really like this, but it does not come in my size so I would not get it for myself

It's a cute idea, but the design is too prissy. Needs more style.

Diane

I have a daughter who plays guitar. This would be perfect for her! And I like the comment below that girlfriends of guys who play would like the connection as well. I think anyone musical would really love it - Including me!

These are gorgeous, and such a great idea -- as a musician and a music lover, I'd love to give these to all the women in my family for X-mas!
Jennifer
Vote: Thumbs down!
Seems like it would snag on things and be annoying.
Catherine
Vote: Thumbs down!
LOVE the idea, but NOT the 'bow'. Recreate this ring WITHOUT the boy and the ring would be a much greater sell - for men and women.
margo
I saw these at the NYC gift show they are really cute!!

I'm sure these rings are being made in several different designs, wonderful!

Love this. very nice looking on my finger. The balls on the ends do not catch on anything. I think alot of people would love this, it is recycled and a great looking bow ring

I have been playing guitar for years and have always wanted something to give my wife that would represent my musical craft. FOUND IT with this product!

This is great and unique way of letting everyone know what your interests are. Other guitar enthusiasts will know right off the bat that you play too. I like this a lot.

There's a non-profit music association that makes these already. I'm not a fan of the design, but I'd much rather give to a non-profit for it
Alyssa
Vote: Thumbs up!
larger ring sizes would be nice
Lisa
What a great idea! And I love that the artist uses 'recycled' strings. =^..^=

This is way cool!

Not for me, but I can definitely see its appeal. It would be a good addition to UncommonGoods!

Susan

I have this ring, I wear it all the time, and I LOVE IT!!! I get compliments on it daily. People always think it it so unique. When they find out that it's made from a recycled guitar string they find it even more desireable.

This style is not attractive to me at all. I'd probably get stuff caught in it. Good price, though.
Princess

Love it! So unique - would definitely buy these as gifts or for myself.

As a female picker, I think it would be nice to try and sell them at my gigs to fans. Very feminine and I bet girls would like it if their guitar boyfriends bought them one, that would be sweet!
