Shapes and Patterns with Rings

Playing with shadows and patterns can create a mesmerizing visual. A ring’s circular shape contrasts beautifully with geometric patterns or linear shadows, creating a captivating juxtaposition. These shapes and patterns can be found everywhere from natural elements like leaves to decor on furniture and clothing.
