This New Mermaid-Inspired Jewelry Collection Is a Must-Sea

"I started with the Mermaid ring I wanted her to be magical, and so I placed a wand in her hand I've always loved this manga series and the ocean, and both created the perfect mixture of imageries" Ice Cream Candy is Wang's more accessibly priced jewelry line.

Like all Ice Cream Candy by Xiao Wang jewelry, the pieces are made with recycled 14k gold set with Canadian white diamonds Top: Magical Mermaid ring with white diamonds in 14k yellow gold, $1,128. . Source
