Discover unexpected uses for the PUEBCO RING / Spacer beyond jewelry. From home organization to DIY projects, this versatile brass, steel, or copper piece adds function and style.
Quick answer
The PUEBCO RING / Spacer is a versatile metal piece that works as a jewelry spacer, a drawer pull, a keychain accent, a napkin ring, or a small cable organizer. Its simple design and choice of brass, steel, or copper let you add an industrial touch to everyday items.
Why the RING / Spacer works for so many projects
The RING / Spacer is made from solid metal—brass, steel, or copper—and each material develops a natural patina over time as it oxidizes. This means no two pieces look exactly the same, and the ring will change character with age. The two available sizes (11 and 13) give you flexibility, but the ring is not adjustable, so choose your size based on the intended use.
Because the ring is a simple open or closed shape (the catalog lists separate product codes for each material and size), you can thread it, hang it, stack it, or attach it to other objects. The natural surface variations and occasional rust or dark spots are part of the material's appeal, not flaws.
Creative ways to use the RING / Spacer
- Jewelry spacer or accent: Thread the ring onto a leather cord, chain, or beaded bracelet to act as a central focal point or a spacer between charms. Size 11 works well for thinner cords; size 13 fits wider bands. Check that the ring's inner diameter matches your cord or chain before committing—if it's too tight, it won't slide freely.
- Drawer or cabinet pull: Attach the ring to a small screw or bolt through a pre-drilled hole in a drawer front or cabinet door. The ring becomes a minimalist pull. Use a washer behind the ring to prevent scratching the metal. Make sure the screw head is smaller than the ring's inner hole, or the ring won't sit flush against the surface.
- Keychain or bag charm: Pass a split ring or small carabiner through the RING / Spacer and attach it to your keys or bag. The metal ring adds weight and a tactile element. Brass and copper will develop a patina that marks your use. The ring may scratch other metal items in your bag—consider pairing it with softer materials or keeping it in a separate pocket.
- Napkin ring for table setting: Slide a folded cloth napkin through the ring to hold it in place. The metal ring adds an industrial or rustic touch to your table. Size 13 fits thicker napkins better. Wash the ring by hand and dry it immediately—prolonged moisture can accelerate oxidation and leave marks on fabric.
- Small cable or cord organizer: Loop charging cables, earbuds, or drawstrings through the ring to keep them tangle-free. The ring's weight helps prevent cords from slipping off a desk or table. Avoid using the ring for very thick cables—it may be difficult to thread multiple cords through at once.
Product facts
- RING / Spacer: Available in sizes 11 and 13, and in brass, steel, or copper. Each piece has natural surface variations and may show rust or dark spots due to the material properties. Choose your size and metal based on the project—brass for a warm vintage look, steel for a modern industrial feel, copper for a rich reddish tone. The patina development means the ring will look more unique over time.
