About Unity Indandatho

I-Unity yindandatho yefeshini yomunwe omude eyenziwe ngegolide eliphuzi lika-18 karati. Idizayini iphefumulelwe yinhlangano yeDe Stijl, eyasungulwa ngo-1917, futhi isebenzisa izinto ezibonakalayo eziyisisekelo ezifana namakhona nezicaba ukwakha isakhiwo esilula esingaqondile. Amakhona anosayizi ahlukene aphindaphindwa futhi ahlelwa ngokulinganisa, amanye engenalutho ngaphakathi namanye egcwele, okudala iphethini enomthelela wesigqi kanye nomuzwa wokunyakaza oholela iso. Indandatho ilinganiselwa ku-20.80 ngo-18.76 amamilimitha futhi isindo layo lingu-7.95 amagremu. Isibonelo sengcino se-wax saphrintwa ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-3D ngaphambi kokuncibilikiswa.

Unique Properties: The unity ring is a long-finger fashion ring that would be worn partly for fashion or styling purposes and, can be eye-catching owing to its long, full face shape.
Dimensions & Packaging: The unity ring is made of yellow gold (18k) and weighs 7.95 g in total, Length 20.80 x Width 18.76 mm.
Tags: Ring, unity ring, Gold, Jewelry, minimalism, jewelry design, abstract art, neoplasticism
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
