BulGgod: A Ring Inspired by the Flame

A Unique Expression of Movement and Passion

The BulGgod ring stands out with its unique properties and design. The main feature is the wavering halo, created by alternating rubies and diamonds at different heights and levels. This arrangement forms the illusion of a flickering flame, capturing the passion and intensity associated with fire. Additionally, the opening of the two outer sides of the ring sets the central piece free, adding another layer of movement and dynamism.

Attention to detail is evident in the tapering of the three ring bands and the concave shape of the central one. These design choices further enhance the expression of the flame's passion and create a visually striking piece of jewelry.

The BulGgod ring is brought to life using 3D Rhino CAD technology. Crafted from 18K white gold, it features a captivating 2.01ct oval ruby from Mozambique, accompanied by 20 round brilliant cut diamonds and 20 graduated rubies. The combination of these precious stones adds depth and brilliance to the design, enhancing its overall allure.

With dimensions of 20.63mm width, 22.78mm depth, and 22.78mm height, the BulGgod ring is a statement piece that demands attention. Its bold and unique design is sure to captivate anyone who appreciates the beauty of wearable art.

One of the strengths of the BulGgod ring lies in its interaction with the wearer. The design allows for the separation and mobility of the two parts of the ring. The central piece features a solitaire ring with a stunning oval ruby set in four eagle claws. The second ring is based on a hinge mechanism, providing security, stability, and a comfortable wearing sensation. This interchangeability of the central ring allows for endless possibilities, enabling wearers to continually create new designs and combinations.

Jin Lee began working on the BulGgod ring in 2013 while studying at Induc University in Seoul. Over the years, the design has evolved and improved, with additional features added during Lee's career as a jewelry designer in Sydney, Australia. The project was finalized in December of last year, showcasing Lee's dedication and passion for creating unique and meaningful pieces.

Extensive research went into the development of the hinge mechanism, a traditional feature not commonly found in rings. With the guidance of jewelry master Manas in Sydney and thorough market research in Korea and Australia, Lee successfully incorporated this unique element into the design, adding to its functionality and appeal.

Creating the BulGgod ring presented its fair share of challenges. One of the biggest hurdles was finding space for the hinge without altering the proportion of the design. The concave band of the central ring was chosen to ensure stability between the two parts of the ring, while also prioritizing wearability and comfort.

The BulGgod ring is a testament to Jin Lee's creativity, technical skill, and dedication to creating meaningful jewelry. It captures the essence of the flame and translates it into a wearable work of art. With its unique properties, stunning design, and interactive features, the BulGgod ring is a true masterpiece.
