Blooming Beauty: A Handcrafted Ring Inspired by Night Water Lilies

A Unique Blend of Elegance and Avant Garde

The ring is inspired by the beauty of night water lilies, blooming their best at midnight. Just as lilies flower in the pleasant moonlight glaze, this ring's structured petals and movable center ball can together be maneuvered with the wearer's mood. They can be placed on fingers or on the hand, signifying impactful flaunting within one's comfort zone. Thus, this polki diamond-studded jewel is an embodiment of preserving one's original self in the quest for Avant Garde, blooming in the moonlit inner peace.

In an endeavor to relive feminine moods with elegance, the elements of this ring are designed with a playful spirit. The petals are fused with plique-a-jour enamel, which brightens with illumination and maintains a dense character in tranquility and dimness. The free movement of structured petals with a movable diamond-studded center ball highlights the easiness of innate elegance with bold decision-making. This signifies how the dynamics of efflorescence can fashion the blooming of an avant-garde.

Following the impeccable tradition of ancient times, this ring's prototype to final structure was altogether handcrafted. The petals were intricately detailed with the method of plique-a-jour enamel. For their hue, hot magenta was meticulously fashioned with Purple Heart after multiple attempts to perfection. The polki diamond studded in the center ball is the crown jewel in its original rough yet polished form. Finally, the silver-based ring has black and gold rhodium machinery polish for a final touch.

The highlight of this ring is that the user can play and interact with it by the way it is worn. Spreading out the placement of structured leaves and the movable center ball can be placed on fingers or on the hand. This dynamics of maneuvering suits the mood of the wearer while elegantly flaunting a new look. The mobility also evolves a light effect on petals fused with plique-a-jour enamel. Their color, a blend of hot magenta with Purple Heart, further brightens up with illumination, giving it a unique feature.

This project started on January 10, 2021, and was finished on February 18, 2021, in Delhi, India. The idea to fashion this ring is a fancy recollection of the full bloom lily, blossomed at its best at midnight. The color and dynamics of plique-a-jour enameled petals under light mirror the brightened lily in moonlight radiance. Natural materials like silver with handcrafting techniques were chosen for a natural bent. Its assembly has motivated Indian craftsmanship and generated employment. Thus, this jewel is an attempt to impersonate the magnificence of nature and give back to the environment.

While handcraftsmanship is a unique method to create an authentic jewel piece, it is indeed the toughest way to manufacture an ingenious one. The altogether handmade ring posed challenges in achieving the color of its enameled petals and then the dynamics of maneuvering its structured petals and ball. Arduous methods were devised with multiple attempts to get the perfectly resembling color of the inspirational lily, as well as for the state-of-the-art mechanism that follows the moods of the wearer.

Following the privileges of ancient times, this handcrafted pure silver ring, crowned with a polki diamond, is inspired by night blooming water lilies. Designed for impactful flaunting, the structured petals and center ball maneuver over fingers or hand. The mystic of plique-a-jour enameled petals is fashioned by a blend of hot magenta and purple heart hue. Brightening in light and dense in dimness, this "Blooming Beauty" elegantly signifies an Avant garde in blooming.
