About Luxuriate Ring
Luxuriate is a ring inspired by the growth of a plant from a single seed. Flexible strands begin inside the ring, pass through a gap in the body and rise about one centimetre above the wavy surface. Stones with natural cuts are combined with the strands. The shank widens gradually from 5 mm at the lower point to 13 mm at the top and can be made in any size. The ring is modelled digitally, produced by 3D printing and direct casting, and finished by hand. The strands can be adjusted by the wearer to change the appearance of the piece.

- Production Technology
- The design is made after being modeled matrix and zbrush and using 3D printing method and direct casting, as well
as using the art of hands to place and adjust the strings and stones. - Design Challenge
- An important challenge of this design is to depict nature in art and especially jewelry in a wayas if it is a theatrical scene for the designer to illustrate a story, while using the art, creates a deep connection with the user to remind everyone, that nature as the main soulof all humans has been forgotten, will be reminisced and enjoy the work of art.
- Project Duration
- The ideation of the design and its designing started at a swift 9time in early April 2021 and on May 10, 2021, it was completed in Iran and the city of Tabriz.
- Operation Flow
- Being able to make changes to an inherently fixed artifact transmits excitement to the user, in which adjusting the placement of the strings on top of Luxuriate and achieving the desired visual effect causes more connection with Luxuriate as a part of the nature and a work inspired from it which the user can now hold it at the palm of his hands.
- Research
- Immersion in the nature and studies on the growth stages of different types of plants led to a common result of how they grow and revealed that a small seed has the power to give birth to a powerful multibranched plant and accompany the plant up to its full growth and fertility and beauty.
- Inspiration
- Luxuriate uses nature as a mysterious source of inspiration, which tells the story of the growth of several branches of a single seed and the movement and pressure on the layers of the earth that leads to the splitting of the earth, against the soft plant, and after rather sometimes slow and sometimes erratic movements that even effect the environment, reaches its growth and perfectness.
