The Design

About Irises Ring

Irises is a double ring inspired by a painting by Vincent van Gogh. The painting shows blue flowers with long, sword shaped leaves. In the ring, the flowers are represented by blue sapphire and by London and sky topaz, while sculptured gold forms the leaves in movement. The ring is made of 18 karat gold by hand, with a matte finish and prong settings. The piece is light and comfortable to wear.

Design Challenge: During the search for the idealized materials, some types of gemstones were not located and some cut formats were unavailable. The acquisition of gemstones in other formats and types was carried out and a new design was performed adapting to the materials found.
Research: After extensive research on Van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
