DESIGN NAME: Reveal it
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Ring
INSPIRATION: Gems show the refraction of light after all the cutting and polishing. I have been thinking about how to show this beauty perfectly without any boundary, to set it free and reveal it while still having the gem set stably.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This concept is about a new way to set the gems. It shows the gems perfectly without any usual prongs. First a groove or cavity is made in the bottom of the gem, to fit perfectly against the ring setting. The gem is then just clipped into the setting.
