Baobab Tree Jewelry Collection

Baobab Tree Jewelry Collection is an innovative jewelry design series that masterfully combines sacred geometry with organic forms, created by Japanese designer Michiru Yamawaki. The collection's signature piece, the Baobab Ring, features an intricate design that transforms the ancient geometric pattern known as the Flower of Life into a three-dimensional sculptural form, presenting as a large blooming flower when worn. This sophisticated jewelry collection, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship through its dual-aspect design approach - presenting both a floral motif from above and the silhouette of a Baobab tree when viewed from the side. The collection employs both contemporary 3D CAD technology and traditional metalworking techniques in its creation, resulting in pieces that include a statement ring measuring 21mm x 21mm x 25mm, a 108mm station necklace, and a 60mm bracelet. Initiated in 2017 in Tokyo, Japan, the collection represents a thoughtful exploration of natural rhythms and sacred symbolism, with each piece crafted in silver and later expanded to include variations in 18k gold and platinum combinations. The design's philosophical foundation draws from the symbolic significance of the Baobab tree, known as the Tree of Life, and the geometric Flower of Life pattern, which has been revered across cultures as a representation of universal creation patterns. The collection stands out for its ability to merge inorganic geometric principles with organic forms, creating wearable art pieces that serve as both personal adornments and symbolic representations of nature's inherent order and beauty.
