Twist and Turn: Setting Gemstones Free

A Unique and Flexible Ring Design by Beate Schellhas

Beate Schellhas has designed a special ring – the twist and turn ring setting gemstones free. The design of a ring is usually static - here it's flexible and suspenseful. This results in special adaptations to the finger and the wearer. The idea of twist and turn is to create a new look by varying the position of the precious gemstones while wearing. This is possible by movable combination of a thick ring shank and a thin circlet. Her design will grant each customer’s individual wishes by their choice of gemstones. Each ring is handmade and a creation combining aesthetic and technical skill.

The Twist and Turn ring, designed by Beate Schellhas, is a truly unique piece of jewelry that offers a fresh take on the traditional ring design. Inspired by movement and contrast, this ring combines flexibility and tension to create a stunning and adaptable piece.

Unlike traditional rings that are static, the Twist and Turn ring features a movable ring shank, allowing for interesting adaptations to the finger and the wearer. This flexibility not only adds visual interest but also enhances the comfort and fit of the ring.

One of the key features of the Twist and Turn ring is the contrast between the strong ring shanks and the thin circlet. This contrast creates a sense of tension and adds visual intrigue to the design. The choice of materials, including 750 gold, platinum, 925 silver, and palladium, further enhances this contrast and adds to the overall aesthetic appeal.

Each Twist and Turn ring is a unique creation, thanks to the combination of high-quality gemstones and the movable ring shank. Customers have the freedom to choose from a variety of gemstones in different cuts, allowing for endless possibilities in design.

The production of the Twist and Turn ring is a meticulous and precise process. The ring is handmade, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The use of high-quality materials and the combination of classic and modern elements make this design timeless and always on-trend.

With three different versions available, each with varying thicknesses of the circlet, the Twist and Turn ring offers options to suit different preferences and styles. The technical implementation of the design presents its own challenges, but Beate Schellhas has overcome them with innovative solutions.

The Twist and Turn ring has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2016. This prestigious award acknowledges the creativity and ingenuity of the design, as well as its contribution to improving the quality of life.

Overall, the Twist and Turn ring by Beate Schellhas is a remarkable piece of jewelry that combines innovation, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. Its unique design and attention to detail make it a standout choice for those looking for a truly special and customizable ring.
