The Design

About Unbound Heart Bague

Unbound Heart est une série de bagues dotées d'une pierre principale mobile. La pierre principale peut être positionnée de trois manières, offrant ainsi trois façons de porter une même bague. En position haute, la bague forme un cercle fermé à l'allure rétro. En position médiane, la bague est semi-ouverte et la pierre repose parallèlement au corps de la bague, pour un effet contemporain. En position basse, la forme paraît douce et allongée. Les bagues sont réalisées en or 9 carats et serties de petites perles ainsi que de topaze, de tanzanite ou d'émeraude. Le mécanisme exploite la ténacité naturelle de l'or non durci pour maintenir chaque position.

Production Technology
The original purpose for the design is to make it stylish and changeable. Thus, we have tried many functions making it feasible while at the same time stable at exact positions. This mechanism uses the inherent toughness of unhardened gold.
The ring is made of 9K GOLD. Our series has three shapes, ellipse triangle and rectangle. The gemstones on it are topaz, tanzanite, and emerald. There are little pearls around.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part is to make the ring smooth when changing the angle, and at the same time to reach the fixed angle, it should be stable and motionless. For this reason, we have done a lot of experiments, and finally found a mechanism to achieve the ideal state.
Inspiration
We wear jewelry for a very important purpose, which is to match clothes and occasions. Many of my friends have their own precious jewels, which may be valuable because of the precious gem stone . I love it but I can't wear it everyday because of the style of clothes or the occasion. So I designed this ring mechanism to make a ring present three styles, which can match all most styles and occasion.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2019 and finished in September 2019.
