About Marine Gastropods 반지
마린 가스트로포드는 바다 달팽이의 나선형 형태에서 영감을 받은 반지입니다. 그 형태는 해부된 껍데기를 연구하여 3차원 스캐너로 기록되었습니다. 이 반지는 로스트왁스 기법을 사용하여 18K 골드로 주조된 여섯 개의 부품으로 제작되었습니다. 중앙의 투르말린은 굴절과 광학적 특성에 대한 연구를 바탕으로 반사를 높이도록 커팅되었습니다. 표면에는 다이아몬드가 세팅되었으며, 조립된 작품은 로듐 도금 처리되었습니다. 이 디자인은 자연의 형태와 주얼리 공예를 결합하며, 각 부품을 하나의 전체로서 다룹니다.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- When speaking of nature as a primary source of creative inspiration, it is through understanding nature itself that we discover the technical solutions for transforming natural elements into industrial functions, all while respecting the essence of nature and making it accessible to all.
The use of diverse, yet carefully selected, natural materials creates the concept of a 'circular' piece of jewelry, where no single part can exist independently from the others. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The dimensions are: the height is mm 34,40 to mm 26,30. The top part diameter is mm 34,20 to mm 27,60 and the bottom part diameter is mm 19,20 to mm 17,80.

- Production Technology

After observing and scanning the unused part with a 3D scanner, I began designing the object, which is made up of six parts cast in 18k gold using the lost-wax technique. The central stone is a tourmaline, precisely cut to maximize its reflection, following a study on refraction and optical properties. After the first cleaning, the piece was assembled, set with diamonds, cleaned again, and finally rhodium-plated. - Design Challenge
- Creative and naturalistic research on shells collected from the seabed and coral reefs. An analysis of the variety of shapes and colors and their transformation over time. Once, in some cultures, shells were used as currency, a practice now almost disappeared, relegated to decorative details on common objects. This work serves as a reminder of climate change, which alters colors and whitens corals and shells, erasing a part of island culture.
- Research
- Inspired by the intricate beauty of marine gastropods, I explored their spiral forms to create a unique piece. Using 3D scanning and the lost-wax technique, I crafted this object in 18k gold, set with diamonds and a central tourmaline, and finished with rhodium plating. It began as a concept, an emotion-driven idea that evolved through intense personal study and creative realization.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the beauty and form of marine gastropods, I undertook a deep study to analyze their spiral structure. The architectural perfection I discovered was astonishing. The grace of these creatures guided my creativity, allowing me to translate their natural perfection into a unique design. This ring represents a fusion of nature and art, a tribute to the wonder of the marine world.
- Project Duration
- February 2023 - April 2023 in Milano
- Operation Flow
- This distinctive piece is noteworthy for its significant design. The ring draws inspiration from the geometry and forms found in marine nature, with a particular focus on Marine Gastropods. This creation not only possesses a profound meaning but also exhibits an extraordinary and intricate design that underscores its artistic complexity.
