PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: It was a challenging design to make and set. At first as a goldsmith I hand fabricated many prototypes, then as a jewelry designer, I draw it in rhino software, 3D printed it and later as a jeweller I casted it in 18K gold; hand polished for a great shine, applied enamel on petals and finally set 176 stones (13 pink and 163 green). It was a complicated and time assuming process but I think It worth it.

The dimension of the ring is: Height: 50mm / Width: 25mm / Depth: 25mm and weights 34gram. The spring ring comes in a customised black jewelry box and yellow ribbon both with logo.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: During the pandemic, while all of us were living in traumatic time, I was looking for a symbol of strength. I started to research the literature and paintings and I came with the idea of creating a cypress and blooming tree ring, as a symbol of hope to pass these dark days. This idea came to my mind by searching the Persian miniature paintings which is mostly depict scenes of Persian mythology and poetry; specifically stories of Shahnameh (The Persian Book of Kings) of Ferdowsi (c. 940-1020). A ring, to reminds us we are cypress; resilient and strong that might bend during storms, but we rarely break!
CHALLENGE: To make it ergonomic, lightweight and wearable while keep the creative design and form, was the challenging part.
