Whether you’re looking to do a complete overhaul of your apartment or add a dash of color or ambiance to a room, adding art to the walls is an easy way to create a unique home environment.

1. There’s something very Thor about these whimsical wing rings by H Stern
2. Personalized writing on your gold jewelry a la Aurora Lopez Mejia
3. Elegance meets art with these dainty floral earrings by Carla Amorim
4. Intricate antiqe-like rings by Catherine Michiels
