Angela Fung’s kinetic jewelry collection includes rings that spin and slide, pendants that glide and bracelets that fold. The rest of her portfolio boasts not-quite-kinetic jewelry that looks like it might spring right off of your body. All appeal to the fidgety, restless side of me.

ADORE kinetic jewelry and her slide ring is simply amazing !
Hi… great post. Her spinner rings look like they are held in by tension. The ring shank is very thick and has indents that allow the stone points to rest and move.The thickness of the shank is the stabilizer…. it prevents the top from coming apart and losing the stone. Normally, the only time pins are used are on drilled beads and pearls. Love those pieces.
Steven Kretchmer got this going in the ’90s.
