About Dandelion Ring

Dandelion ass e Ring, deen duerch d'Form vun der Pusteblumm inspiréiert ass. De Ring besteet aus enger Grupp vu Blieder, an all Blat dréit verschidden Detailer. E puer Blieder sinn verdréint, e puer sinn mat Diamanten besat, an anerer sinn mat feine Linnen graivéiert. D'Stéck ass aus 18 Karat Gold an zwou Faarwen hiergestallt, mat verschiddene komplexe Goldschmiddstechniken. Kéieren a Linnen ginn agesat fir Liichtegkeet a Fräiheet auszedrécken. D'Gravure an d'Diamanten reflektéieren d'Liicht bei Dag a bei Nuecht. D'Form vum Rank ass sou gestalt, datt de Ring einfach ze droe ass.

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.
Design Challenge: In the making process is the real challenge, there is no short cuts to finish the piece with so many different goldsmithing and settings. But to try on and on until the piece matches the design perfectly.
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.
