Using rapid prototyping resin, designer Johanna Jansson has created a perfume ring which adds useful purpose to an accessory that otherwise lacks function. Yanko Design describes, "The layered glass effects create colors and special optical illusions, bending and refracting light. However the real gem here is the hollow structure with tap so you can apply a spritz of perfume anytime, anywhere."
Implications - Accessories usually only serve the purpose of adding a little extra glam to an outfit. The featured rings that also double as perfume spritzers are a good example of fashion moving in a multifaceted direction that allows fashionistas to make the most out of their fashionable purchases.
