OCTOPUS RING
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As unique as the camouflaging eight-legged creature, the Octopus Ring is an absolute stunner and not for the faint hearted! This ring is a part of my Marine Collection, inspired from my scuba diving in the Andamans. The ease with which the Octopus blends into its surroundings is very fascinating and I have tried to capture that in the ‘Octopus Ring’ with the brown shades of the Chocolate Opal and Brown Diamonds. As a totem, Octopus is a symbol of our ability to overcome challenging situations with intelligence, flexibility and creativity.
The Octopus Ring has been set in 18K Gold with a beautiful oval Chocolate Opal, round brilliant Cognac Diamonds and round brilliant Diamonds. The piece has been intricately handcrafted and each of the eight legs have been individually casted to display the perfect twirls.
PROJECT BRIEF
Bringing this idea into reality was quite a challenge in terms of manufacturing and sourcing the right stones! I stumbled upon an Ethiopian Chocolate Opal at a trade show and found it to be the perfect fit. During the manufacturing process, many iterations were done to get the perfect and most comfortable shape for the piece.
