The Design

About Dandelion Anillo

Dandelion es un anillo inspirado en la forma de la flor del diente de león. El anillo está compuesto por un conjunto de pétalos, y cada pétalo presenta detalles diferentes. Algunos pétalos están retorcidos, otros están engastados con diamantes y otros llevan grabadas líneas finas. La pieza está realizada en oro de 18 quilates en dos colores, empleando diversas técnicas complejas de orfebrería. Las curvas y las líneas se utilizan para expresar ligereza y libertad. El grabado y los diamantes reflejan la luz de día y de noche. La forma del aro se ha diseñado para que el anillo resulte cómodo de llevar.
