About Dandelion Primary Function: Ring

Dandelion is in ring dy't ynspirearre is troch de foarm fan de hynstebloem. De ring bestiet út in groep blomblêden, en elk blomblêd draacht ferskillende details. Guon blomblêden binne draaid, guon binne ynlein mei diamanten, en oaren binne fersierd mei fine linen. It stik is makke fan 18 karaats goud yn twa kleuren, mei ferskate komplekse goudsmidstechniken. Krommen en linen wurde brûkt om lichtens en frijheid út te drukken. De gravure en de diamanten wjerspegelje ljocht by dei en by nacht. De foarm fan de bân is makke om de ring maklik te dragen.

Production Technology: I see dandelion as the spirit of freedom and lightness. So I made the ring with curves and lines to symbolize the same spirit. The ring uses two colors of 18ct gold, and using several highly complicated goldsmith technics for finish the product.

Research: Observation and sketches have been done and research of all skills of jewelry technics. the dandelion ring is trying to explain the freedom of its spirit, by making a maximum combination such as twisting wires, stretching gold lines and hammering, engravings, different settings, to fulfill the possibilities of jewelry making, and through out the lines pointing to all directions symmbolise all the choices we can have. Just as the dandelion.
