Pepsi introduces a look at its Pepsi Ring in Spain, which is a unique accessory that is made for those who want to open up their drink can without harming their fresh manicures. It is a ring that cleverly hides a can opener. The functional jewelry is made from 925 sterling silver and is further accented with white zirconia stones.
This is made with the collaborative help of Long Play Jewels and design studio Lucid. Creative agency PS21 also had a role in making the product come to fruition. The discreet ring hides the can opener which is specifically catered to work with Pepsi cans. Users put it on their middle finger, positioned the tab under through the opener, and pulled to lift it open.
