Kila moja ya mapeto iliwekwa kwa upekee na ilikuwa na almasi iliyowekwa ndani yake. Mapeto ya pete yanaonekana kujitokeza kutoka kwenye ua, yakiunda muundo halisi na wa kifahari.

- Production Technology
- The ring is made of 14k yellow and white Gold. The design is created the way where Amethyst, is held by side petals attached to the base separately, instead of prongs and they also have diamonds embedded in them in a unique way. In addition, the bigger petals are designed so that they elegantly separate the top part of the flower from the bottom. The leaves are designed with functionality to provide balance and comfortable fit not letting it turn to the sides, besides being part of the flower.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of the design was to develop elements that would be part of the flower while at the same time would hold the central stone of the flower instead of using traditional prongs, and being made from a different gold color, and each having a diamond set in it.
