A stylish and practical ring? The Spiced Lady Ring, designed by Chao & Eero Jewel, is a combination of both. The 1.35-in. high ring is crafted from sterling silver is definitely a conversational piece. The kicker is the ring is actually a salt/seasoning shaker and can become a free-standing sculpture when it's not in use. A small rubber stopper on the underside of the ring allows it to be filled with salt or other seasonings, so if you require a bit of extra spice you now have some at your fingertips. Price: $345.
