Animal Shaped Clay Rings
Another of my absolute favorite clay ring styles! Animal shaped! These come in so many adorable designs from foxes to froggies. If you’re an animal lover then you could definitely get inspired by this design.
I have noticed that a lot of artists are making adjustable rings, but I have also noticed other types of designs. Some go full circle and others are wrap arounds that do not full close. Regardless, this fox ring by NiOuiNinouche is so lovely.

I love the watermelon ring! So cute, thanks for sharing!
Yes I really love that design and the fact that it is scented. That is so much fun! I am glad you took the time to check out my post!
The fox right is very cute, so you couldn’t probably also make a pretty cute bats head one too, for that goth inside. How durable is the paint of the clay?
You absolutely could make any animal you could think of! What’s great is you can actually use the color of clay you want and add a glaze coating for a finished glossy/painted look! You don’t have to worry about scratching off the color because the color is made into the piece. As for acrylic painted polymer clay it would be quite durable especially with a glaze coating.
Although with any clay piece it is recommended not to get it into water because water can greatly distort it. Great question and thanks for reading!
The fox right is very nice, I love it.
Thanks for sharing
I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting.
Omg, these are all so fun! I don’t make jewelry but your post makes me want to learn! Or just shop them!
Thank you for stopping by to read and check out these ideas! Polymer clay is great to experiment with. I hope you get to try!
Those are so cute! My favourites are the flowers and the fox! x
Yes aren’t they adorable! I love them too!
That little fox ring is absolutely precious. I never thought of looking at clay rings as a way to give a unique and personal gift, but now I’m thinking that I need to start looking into some options! I wonder if I can find a turtle one for a turtle-loving friend of mine… I’m sure that there’s one out there!
I am sure that there is a great Etsy crafter out there that makes clay turtle rings. I definitely would try looking there! I am really excited checking out all of the clay rings and jewelry on Etsy lately!
I love the fruit inspired ones!

I know! I really love those and especially the watermelon ring. I can’t get over how it is scented and would smell like watermelon all day. Thanks for checking out my post!
