About Unity Cincin

Unity ialah cincin fesyen berjari panjang yang diperbuat daripada emas kuning 18 karat. Reka bentuknya diilhamkan oleh gerakan De Stijl yang diasaskan pada tahun 1917, dan menggunakan elemen visual asas seperti segi empat tepat dan silinder untuk membentuk komposisi abstrak yang ringkas. Segi empat tepat dengan pelbagai saiz diulang dan dijajarkan, sebahagiannya berongga dan sebahagian lagi diisi, mewujudkan corak berirama serta rasa pergerakan yang membimbing pandangan mata. Cincin ini berukuran 20.80 milimeter dengan 18.76 milimeter dan seberat 7.95 gram. Prototaip lilin dicetak secara tiga dimensi sebelum proses tuangan dilakukan.

Production Technology: This project has been designed and developed in the 3D Matrix program. First, a 3d model was created and sent to a Projet wax 3D printer, then a prototype was printed with wax. After checking the size and visual aspects of the prototype, a plaster mold was created, and afterward, the ring got cast.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to stay simple and not to over-deliver on the design, It was something I generally struggled with.
Research: Neo Plasticism relied on the most basic elements such as color, line, and form only in their purest, most fundamental state to convey universal and absolute truths, in other words Reducing art to pure components.
Inspiration: Impressed by the De Stijl movement founded in 1917 the designer of the Unity ring intended to use basic visual elements such as rectangles and cylinders to find a simple abstract composition through geometry and to form a coherent whole. Multiple rectangles with different sizes are repeated and aligned together, some arranged to be hollow and some to be filled, this will create a rhythmic pattern and convey a sense of movement and provides a path for the viewers eye to follow.
Project Duration: The Unity ring was designed in December 2019 in Tehran/Iran.
Operation Flow: Lady's fashion ring
