About Dandelion Ring

Dandelion is 'n ring wat geïnspireer is deur die vorm van die perdeblomblom. Die ring bestaan uit 'n groep blomblare, en elke blomblaar dra verskillende besonderhede. Sommige blomblare is gedraai, sommige is met diamante beset, en ander is met fyn lyne gegraveer. Die stuk is gemaak van 18-karaat goud in twee kleure, met verskeie komplekse goudsmidstegnieke. Krommes en lyne word gebruik om ligtheid en vryheid uit te druk. Die gravering en die diamante weerkaats lig bedags en snags. Die vorm van die band is so gevorm om die ring maklik te maak om te dra.
