Spatial is a two finger ring designed for everyday wear. The ring is made of 18k gold plated brass and is set with blue and white druzy. An open metal frame structure holds the stone, so that both the stone and the frame receive emphasis. The open form keeps the druzy clearly visible and prevents the metal from dominating the design.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The design incorporates a metal frame structure in which the druzy is held in such a way that there is emphasis on both the stone as well as the metal frame structure. The structure is quite open and makes sure that the stone is the star of the design. It is bold, edgy and wearable.
- Inspiration
- Having had a strong foundation of Architecture, I have always had this inclination towards geometry and structure. The idea was to come up with a bold, edgy ring. The design reflects the will power and hope of a creative person who may be struggling to break away from the stereotypes created by external factors or his/her own mindset (metal structure), still shining (druzy) from within. This is one of my initial (and one of the most favorite) designs as a Jewelry Designer.
- Challenge
- The creative challenge was to make sure that the metal structure did not overpower the stone and that has been clearly accomplished.
