A quickie tip for you fans of R&T’s great big Design Gallery!

Found a design in our Gallery that really speaks to you?

Hello knitty!

Hello knitty!

Just have to share it with your friends?

See the little yellow dot with a letter “i” in it, in the top left of the frame around that design in our Gallery?

Click it.

Scroll down — At the bottom of the page now, you’ll find the “URL”.

That’s the link that takes others straight to that design! Copy it, paste it into email/Facebook/Twitter, and share…

Setting a record?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Over the last week, Rings & Things has uploaded a kazillion new entries to our free Design Gallery.  I think we set a record, and I want to share some highlights…

Great Southwestern-influenced earrings to introduce you to a really handy jewelry finding, the bead bar…

Seasonally appropriate shark charms & rad surfboard pendants make this one a perfect guy / beachwear item… (update on August 13: I’m wearing this one to Rings & Things’ anniversary sale this weekend, so come see it in person):

Our Design Gallery expands

You’ve received our new 2009-2010 catalog, haven’t you?  We’re very happy with it.  One reason is all the fun jewelry designs it features.  Now…

Rings & Things has uploaded dozens and dozens of these new entries to our Design Gallery!  (Finally done.  I see the light at the end of the carpal tunnel.) ☻☺ At last count we had something like 668 designs up. We group this free inspirational material into some useful categories:

Every design is illustrated by a great big beautiful picture of the finished piece.  The Design Contest Winners come with the artist’s statement.  All the others are accompanied by a parts list, complete with links to our online store if you’re going to buy the components.

You’ll also find links to free downloadable PDFs with full instructions for making each design.  The PDFs come in two flavors, faster-loading or higher-resolution.  Hard to choose, right?

Subscribe to our Design Gallery RSS / Google Desktop / My Yahoo feed to keep updated!  Whenever we upload a new design, we’ll send a blip right to your desktop or browser window, whichever you choose.

Have a favorite Design Gallery item?  Ever been inspired by one of our designs?  Saw your contest entry on our site?  Leave a comment to talk about it!!

March news: New monthly lottery, right here on the Rings & Things blog.  Here’s how it works:
* You enter by leaving comments. Comment on any March post(s).
* At the end of March, I’ll randomly draw 2 winners of surprise goodie packs! …So read the blog regularly to see if you won!
