Production Technology

Following the impeccable tradition of ancient times, this ring’s prototype to final structure was altogether handcrafted. Petals were intricately detailed with the method of plique-a-jour enamel. For their hue, hot magenta was meticulously fashioned with Purple Heart after multiple attempts to perfection. The polki diamond studded in center ball is the crown jewel in its original rough yet polished form. Finally, the silver based ring has black and gold rhodium machinery polish for a final touch.

Design Challenge

While handcraftsmanship is a unique method to create an authentic jewel piece, it is indeed the toughest way to manufacture an ingenious one. The altogether handmade ring posed challenging in achieving the colour of its enameled petals and then the dynamics of maneuvering its structured petals and ball. Arduous methods were devised with multiple attempts to get the perfectly resembling colour of the inspirational lily, as well as for state-of-art mechanism that follows the moods of the wearer.

Research

The idea to fashion this ring is a fancy recollection of the full bloom lily, blossomed its best in midnight.

Thus this jewel is an attempt to impersonate the magnificence of nature and a giveback to the environment
