Flowing Arcs: A Ring That Defies Convention

Redesigning the Concept of Rings

Most rings are round. I challenged this conventional concept by designing a ring that does not look like a ring and makes people wonder how to wear it. I also wanted it to look beautiful as an objet d'art when it is not being worn.

Introducing the Flowing Arcs ring, a unique and innovative design by Sun Hyang Ha. Consisting only of arcs that flow in a continuous line, this ring breaks away from the traditional circular shape and offers a new way to adorn your fingers. With its unconventional design, the Flowing Arcs ring invites wearers to explore different ways of wearing it and appreciate its beauty as a piece of art.

What sets the Flowing Arcs ring apart is its versatility. It can be worn on one finger or two adjacent fingers, allowing for various styling options. The absence of a traditional round shape adds an element of intrigue and fun, as wearers can experiment with different ways of wearing the ring and create unique looks.

The Flowing Arcs ring is made using advanced 3D printing technology. It can be printed in wax and then cast in metal, or made directly from metal. The square wire used for the ring has a thickness of 2mm * 2mm, giving it a substantial and luxurious feel. For added elegance, stones can be pave set on every side of the square wire, creating a dazzling effect.

Customization is key with the Flowing Arcs ring. It can be personalized with different metals and gemstones according to the customer's specifications. Whether you prefer platinum, 18k yellow gold, or sterling silver, this ring can be tailored to suit your style and preferences.

The Flowing Arcs ring was originally designed and made in Tokyo in 2010. It was later redesigned and modeled in 3D CAD in New York in 2013, further refining its unique shape and ensuring a perfect fit. The attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into creating each Flowing Arcs ring is evident in its impeccable design and flawless execution.

This exceptional design has been recognized with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. The Flowing Arcs ring stands out for its creative ingenuity and ability to challenge traditional norms. It exemplifies the fusion of art, science, design, and technology, contributing to an improved quality of life and making a positive impact on the world.

Experience the beauty and versatility of the Flowing Arcs ring, a true masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of conventional jewelry design. Embrace the unconventional and let your fingers be adorned with flowing arcs that defy expectations.
