DESIGN NAME: Star
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Rings
INSPIRATION: The Star rings emphasize individuality by comparing the stars to humanity. I strongly believe that everyone can make a difference by embracing their uniqueness and believing in themselves, and I wanted to share this value through my creations.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Just Rebel Star collection is a symbol of individuality. All rings are similar but at the same time different from each other and there are no two ones alike - made by hand they all have different shapes, different colours of gold and diamonds. Each ring is set with a specific number of diamonds that has a symbolic meaning to me, for example the Dream Me and Love Me rings are set with 32 and 84 diamonds respectively which corresponds to my birth date.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The organic shape and natural feel of the rings make them perfect for everyday wear while the highest quality brilliant cut diamonds add a sparkle that would be well suited for a more formal occasion.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: I started working on the design when I was a student at GIA, Carlsbad, CA, in 2010 but released the first pieces to the public in 2015 for IJL fair in London.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: All models were created by hand using the traditional art of wax carving. The challenge was to carve a unique freeform ring to give it an organic and well balanced shape but also to map out the placement for the drillings that would look random but in fact were carefully arranged to create the perfect combination between the weight, thickness and size of the ring to make it comfortable to wear.
