If You Liked It Then You Should've Made a Ring of It

I love anything associated with food. Even if it is fake. I find myself staring at those plastic replicas of Japanese dishes when I walk through the Kintetsu Food Mall in Japantown. I know you do it too.


I am also intrigued by professional food photographers and how they use anything but food for marketing campaigns and print ads. Who knew that ice cube was really made of plastic? Or that ice cream was made with Crisco?

What is even cuter is MINIATURE food. I remember as a child, I would receive the American Girl doll magazines and I would fast forward to the page where they would show the doll with food from her cultural background. My favorite was Samantha, but here is the Jewish Doll with her bagels and pickles:

I didn't care about the doll's dresses or the books associated with each doll...I cared about how cute those miniature food items were! I remember one doll had a picnic set and another had bread and cheese. Or was that part of the same set?

Anyhow, that love for miniature food has not died even 20 years later. The rings I am about to post are from Etsy. While there were pages of these ultra-kawaii food rings, these were my top 10 (in no particular order):


1. French Macaron Rings by GiraffesKiss


2. Chinese Takeout Box Ring by ChocolateMintCrafts

3. Chicken Salad Ring by Neat Eats

4. Roast Beef Dinner by Neat Eats*

*actually ALL of Neat Eats' rings are AMAZEBALLS

5. Pepperoni Pizza by The Menu

6. Curry Rice Ring by SouZouCreations

7. Ebi Sushi Ring by LolaSeeStars

8. Spaghetti and Meatballs Ring by mybeadgarden

9. Cheeseburger Ring by JewelleryLandMM

10. Lavender Rose Cake Ring by Fatally Feminine - but I'll imagine it's UBE

Weren't these just DARLING? =) I am partial to the ones that are flatter and aren't so HUGE, but were some fantastic-looking rings with "floating" features, like this one:

Honorable Mention: Chinese Noodles Ring by Justyni3

While they are gorgeous, I would be too afraid to wear them simply because the "floating" element would break easily. Perhaps you more daring folks can pull them off! Have a great rest of your day, everyone!
