The Design

About Unity Ring

Unity är en långfingerring i modestil tillverkad av 18 karat gult guld. Designen är inspirerad av De Stijl-rörelsen, grundad 1917, och använder grundläggande visuella element som rektanglar och cylindrar för att skapa en enkel abstrakt komposition. Rektanglar i olika storlekar upprepas och radas upp, vissa ihåliga och andra fyllda, vilket skapar ett rytmiskt mönster och en känsla av rörelse som leder blicken. Ringen mäter 20,80 gånger 18,76 millimeter och väger 7,95 gram. En vaxprototyp skrevs ut tredimensionellt innan gjutningen.

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
