The inspiration for this design came from the designer's desire to counteract the prevalent culture of violence and war. Mortazavi envisioned a ring that would freeze people in their tracks as they prepared to fight, thereby promoting peace. This concept was then translated into a tangible design, resulting in a unique piece of jewelry that carries a profound message.
What sets this ring apart from others is its symbolic value. It is not merely an accessory, but a messenger of peace. The ring depicts people who have been transformed into solid metal, unable to move or fight. This serves as a powerful reminder of the futility of conflict and the importance of peace.
The ring was crafted using 18k yellow gold, with meticulous attention to detail. It stands 37mm in height and 33mm in width, making it a statement piece that is sure to catch the eye. The design process took place in Tehran in September 2011 and required over 50 hours of work from start to finish.
This design is not just a ring, but a symbol of peace. It sends a message to the world to stop fighting and embrace peace. The figures, frozen in solid metal, serve as a stark reminder that conflict is futile and peace is the only way forward.
The "Fighting for What Tree" ring has been recognized for its unique design and powerful message. It was awarded the Golden A' Jewelry, Eyewear and Watch Design Award in 2012. This prestigious award is granted to outstanding creations that reflect the designer's talent and wisdom, and that significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics.
