Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Using the core technique of frozen motion, the ring transforms the poetic scene from a line in Reflections on Qujiang Lake II by the renowned Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, through layers of flowers, the butterfly glides, into a wearable work of art. By deconstructing the moment when the butterflies gently brush flower petals, the designer abstracts a threefold metaphor for love, pursuit, intimacy, and immersion, forming a narrative that blends Eastern aesthetics with modern jewelry design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 33mm*23mm*33mm
Tags: Jewelry Design, Images from Classical Chinese Poetry, Frozen Motion Technique, Micro Set Diamonds and Openwork Craftsmanship, Unheated Burmese Pigeon Blood Ruby, Asymmetric Ring Band
Production Technology: The center stone is an unheated raw pigeon blood ruby from Myanmar, whose natural inclusions and rare hue are preserved, celebrating the unfiltered beauty that mirrors the purity of true love. Through openwork craftsmanship and the mix of micro set diamonds of D E color grade and IF clarity, it enhances brilliance and clarity, creating a visual effect of diamonds shimmering like morning dew. Crafted from 18K gold, it supports complex openwork and resists corrosion, ensuring lasting brilliance.
Design Challenge: The challenge is to freeze the poetic moment of butterflies gently brushing the flower into the static form. The ring setting constructs a layered spatial imagery where butterflies circle the flower and petals mirror its fluttering form with openwork craftsmanship and micro set diamonds. Diamonds shimmer like morning dew along the band, their cool brilliance forming a contrast to the pigeon blood ruby. With the flow of light, it brings to life the vitality of butterflies gliding through flowers.
Research: In the fast paced modern world, consumer demand for jewelry has shifted from pure ornamentation to emotional resonance and cultural identity. This design responds to two major trends. Drawing inspiration from Tang poetry, it fills the gap in the highend jewelry market for jewelry with a cultural narrative. It also embraces natural materials and recyclable craftsmanship to meet the growing desire for sustainable consumption of the new generation.
Inspiration: It draws on a vivid scene written by Du Fu, through layers of flowers, the butterfly glides. The designer uses jewelry to transform the artistic void into a 3D spatial language. By capturing the interaction between the butterfly and the flower, it shows the metaphor of love, pursuit, intimacy, and immersion. The curvy ring band imitates the fluttering butterflies and the openwork craftsmanship evokes the layered petals. The unheated raw Burmese pigeon blood ruby mirrors the purity of true love.
Project Duration: Designed and developed in Beijing in November 2024, the project was launched in China in January 2025.
Operation Flow: Transcending the static nature of traditional jewelry, the ring invites emotional interaction with its dynamic form and wearing method. The asymmetric ring band imitates the natural arcs of butterfly wings and flower petals. Its gradient curve ensures a comfortable fit on both hands, achieving a balance between artistic tension and ergonomic ease. The openwork edges are smoothly finished and crafted to prevent snagging, showing the modern jewelry design philosophy of form following function.
