The Drilling Lab has created a series of customizable hardware jewelry dubbed Clamp. This is an apt name considering that each piece looks like a miniature clamp. The only difference is that they don't secure anything other than themselves around fingers and perhaps even chains, depending on how people would like to wear them.
Although a relatively simple design, the customizable hardware jewelry is available in three different finishes (matte black, gold and silver), which can be mixed and matched depending what the desired final look is. There is also the option to have a visible screw or a completely smooth surface. So those who want a cleaner look can have one without losing the industrial touch. Because of the nature of the clamp, each piece can fit a number of finger sizes.
