Silver designs take a rock and roll tour

Thanks to Italian designer Manuel Bozzi, rock music lovers can now wear likenesses of icons from the genre on their fingers.

Bozzi has taken the expressions of Keith Richards, Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix and transformed them into a silvery tribute--rings.

“Elvis is portrayed on Sunset Boulevard,” a description of the ring states, “he’s fat, alcohol-addicted, nevertheless already of questionable fame.”

While that may not be the version of the King of Rock and Roll that all fans wish to remember, Presley’s blackened sunglasses are a fun feature, and the piece could easily serve as a conversation starter.

The Keith Richards ring “shows his modern mocking sneer, legendary but still modern, with sings of aging, yet increasingly handsome each succeeding year.”

That’s one way to describe the founder of the Rolling Stones.

Lastly, “Hendrix plays with closed eyes and an open mouth, a victim and executioner of his psychedelic, electric poet,” an insightful description for the late guitarist.

Music and silver have always been a winning combination in art for Bozzi, and for this venture the designer choose to portray “decisive moments of three of the most common rock artists’ careers.”

Aside from this “rockmantique” venture, Bozzi has numerous collections and has been featured in major publications such as Vogue, Esquire, Vanity Fair and GQ. Find out more about him here.

Oh wow! This is so cool, are they going to release this on the market?
They should have made Elvis sunglasses as a birthstone jewelry or a gemstone jewelry for added sparkle.

My, My! i hope its not too expensive!
