Access
The ring rear side can be opened and closed unlimitedly by removing the detachable button that holds up thanks to a magnet fixed on the edge of the spray bottle.
Re-Usable
The internal spray bottle is carefully designed to be easily refillable thanks to a small screw located on the back side.
Final Result
The outcome is a pepper-spray ring inspired by geometrical shapes such as perfect cubes and circles, with the touch of a smooth curve to break the structure.
Designed in three colours, Gold, Rose Gold and Silver, Spring it is the perfect hybrid between functionality and beauty.
