About Unbound Heart Ring
Unbound Heart is a series of rings with a movable main stone. The main stone can be set in three positions, so one ring offers three ways of wearing. In the upward position, the ring forms a closed circle with a retro look. In the middle position, the ring is semi open and the stone lies parallel with the ring arm for a modern effect. In the downward position, the shape appears soft and lengthened. The rings are made of 9K gold and set with small pearls and with topaz, tanzanite or emerald. The mechanism uses the natural toughness of unhardened gold to hold each position.

- Stylish，Changeable，Matching different occasions
- Production Technology
- The original purpose for the design is to make it stylish and changeable. Thus, we have tried many functions making it feasible while at the same time stable at exact positions. This mechanism uses the inherent toughness of unhardened gold.
The ring is made of 9K GOLD. Our series has three shapes, ellipse triangle and rectangle. The gemstones on it are topaz, tanzanite, and emerald. There are little pearls around. - Design Challenge
- The most difficult part is to make the ring smooth when changing the angle, and at the same time to reach the fixed angle, it should be stable and motionless. For this reason, we have done a lot of experiments, and finally found a mechanism to achieve the ideal state.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2019 and finished in September 2019.
- Inspiration
- We wear jewelry for a very important purpose, which is to match clothes and occasions. Many of my friends have their own precious jewels, which may be valuable because of the precious gem stone . I love it but I can't wear it everyday because of the style of clothes or the occasion. So I designed this ring mechanism to make a ring present three styles, which can match all most styles and occasion.
