The Design

About Moshabak Bague

Moshabak est une bague inspirée des moucharabiehs, ces écrans à treillis réticulaire des anciennes demeures persanes. La bague se porte au doigt et se tourne vers la lumière, si bien que le motif ajouré projette ombres et dessins sur la main. La forme est équilibrée et d'une grande légèreté. Des arches ergonomiques de part et d'autre viennent épouser les doigts voisins pour un confort optimal. Le design a été modélisé en trois dimensions, imprimé en cire, puis coulé en or jaune 18 carats avec une finition polie miroir. Des versions en or rose et en argent sont également produites.
