About Dandelion Ring
Dandelion is a ring inspired by the form of the dandelion flower. The ring is composed of a group of petals, and each petal carries different details. Some petals are twisted, some are set with diamonds, and others are carved with fine lines. The piece is made of 18 carat gold in two colors, using several complex goldsmithing techniques. Curves and lines are used to express lightness and freedom. The engraving and the diamonds reflect light by day and by night. The shape of the band is formed to make the ring easy to wear.
