O le Sprout o se mama talosaga na faaosofia e le solo a Tagore ma na ofo atu e le mamanu i lona faletua. O lo'o fa'aaogaina se mama fa'aola ma se taimane lapotopoto e tasi e tipi pupula, lea e foliga mai o se fugala'au fuga i totonu o se vine e ola fa'anatura. E fa'amae'a e le fa'ailoga le mamanu i le 3D software, ma fa'aogaina le 3D lomi solo solo e lafo ai le 18K auro. Mulimuli ane, e fa'aiila lima, ma fa'apipi'i i se taimane lapotopoto.

Unique Properties: Sprout is a proposal ring designed by the designer to propose to his wife. The designer hopes that this proposal ring can be very unique in design and have its own style. It adopts an organic ring set with a single round brilliant cut diamond. And it is produced using 3D printing and manual polishing. Simple and memorable.
Dimensions & Packaging: 20 mm x 0.7 mm x 24 mm for physical product.
Tags: Jewelry, Diamond, Ring, Gold, Organic, timeless
Production Technology: The designer first uses 3D software to complete the design, then uses a 3D printed wax mold to cast 18K gold, then manually polished, and finally inlaid with high-quality diamond.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part in design and production is how to achieve organic and complex 3D shapes in such a small ring.
Research: Sprout is a ring designed by the designer to propose to his wife, and with the help of this unique ring, the proposal was successful.
Inspiration: Sprout is inspired by Tagore's poem, 'The spring flowers break out like the passive paint of unspoken love'. The designer vividly expresses the budding love in the poem, wrapping the diamond symbolizing eternal love with organic surface. It seems like there is a blooming flower in a naturally growing plant vine.
Project Duration: The project started in Jan 2021 in Shanghai and finished in June 2021.
Operation Flow: Wear it on the middle finger of the woman's left hand like an ordinary engagement ring.
