Green Angel Ring

Green Angel Ring is an innovative piece of jewelry design that masterfully combines natural elements with precious metals to create a symbolic and spiritually resonant accessory. Created by Iranian designer Saedeh Sorouri, this distinctive ring features delicate angel wing-shaped leaves preserved through an intricate silver-layering process, mounted on an 18-karat gold base. The design, measuring 40 x 30 x 20 millimeters, employs art clay silver with 99.9% purity, applied layer by layer to natural leaves before being dried and heat-treated, resulting in a durable yet elegant composition. The ring's unique design philosophy draws inspiration from universal angelic symbolism across cultures, particularly referencing ancient Iranian goddesses and spiritual traditions where wings represent peace, protection, and divine energy. Distinguished by its dual functionality as both a wearable piece and a decorative object, the ring features an innovative placement that allows the wings to gracefully cover the hand's surface, introducing a novel approach to jewelry ergonomics. The design, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, exemplifies a harmonious blend of traditional symbolism and contemporary craftsmanship, offering users not only aesthetic value but also a connection to themes of immortality, strength, and spiritual elevation in modern life. The piece represents a thoughtful response to the contemporary desire for meaningful, nature-inspired jewelry that transcends purely decorative purposes, incorporating elements of sustainability and cultural significance in its realization.
