About Dandelion Anel

Dandelion é un anel inspirado na forma da flor do dente de león. O anel está composto por un grupo de pétalos, e cada pétalo leva detalles diferentes. Algúns pétalos están retorcidos, outros están engastados con diamantes, e outros están gravados con liñas finas. A peza está feita de ouro de 18 quilates en dúas cores, empregando varias técnicas complexas de ourivería. As curvas e as liñas úsanse para expresar lixeireza e liberdade. O gravado e os diamantes reflicten a luz de día e de noite. A forma do aro está deseñada para facer o anel doado de levar.
