Wing of Desire: A Passionate and Delicate Ring

An Organic and Fluid Design by Apostolos Kleitsiotis

Inspired by the movie "Wings of Desire" and the theme of love and fragility, the Wing of Desire ring is a stunning piece of jewellery that captures the essence of passion and elegance.

Apostolos Kleitsiotis, a renowned designer, has created a complete jewellery line called Wing of Desire, and this ring is one of its standout pieces. Crafted from sterling silver, 18K gold, and adorned with diamonds, the ring showcases Kleitsiotis' unique design approach.

What sets this ring apart is the juxtaposition of the harsh and natural oxidized silver surface with the glimmer of diamonds and the discreet presence of yellow gold. The dark crystalline look of the silver competes with the diamonds, creating a captivating contrast that catches the eye.

With its organic, fluid, and delicate form, the Wing of Desire ring feels comfortable on the hand. Apostolos Kleitsiotis has meticulously designed and crafted this piece to ensure both aesthetic appeal and wearability.

The creation process involved the use of traditional goldsmithing techniques. The ring was initially crafted by hand using thin forged silver wire and heat for welding. A mould was then manufactured, and the ring was cast in sterling silver. The classic ancient method of oxidizing silver was employed to achieve the distinctive dark look. Thin pieces of 18K gold were carefully welded to specific parts of the ring, and diamonds were set to add a touch of luxury. The final finish brought everything together, resulting in a truly remarkable piece of jewellery.

The Wing of Desire ring is a testament to Apostolos Kleitsiotis' skill and creativity. It showcases his philosophy of highlighting the uniqueness of materials used in goldsmithing without altering their natural look. The ring beautifully captures the essence of passion, love, and fragility, making it a perfect symbol of devotion.

Measuring 22mm x 35mm x 40mm, the Wing of Desire ring is a statement piece that will undoubtedly draw attention. Its elegant design and exquisite craftsmanship make it a must-have for anyone seeking a unique and meaningful piece of jewellery.

The Wing of Desire ring, along with the entire jewellery line, was designed and crafted by Apostolos Kleitsiotis in Alexandroupoli, Greece. The prototype of this ring was completed by the end of 2019, showcasing the designer's dedication and commitment to his craft.

This exceptional design has been recognized with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. The award acknowledges the outstanding creativity and ingenuity of the Wing of Desire ring, highlighting its contribution to the world of art, science, design, and technology.

With its captivating design and symbolic meaning, the Wing of Desire ring is a true work of art that embodies the essence of passion and love. Apostolos Kleitsiotis has created a masterpiece that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
