This work is a ring that has been designed in the form of modern art and based on the works of abstract painter Pete Mondrian. A ring with a ring on one finger, the middle finger, but the top plate extends up to three fingers. For this reason, thin lines are used that are not heavy. In fact, the black lines are in rectangular shapes with different sizes, and in some of these squares, yellow, red, blue and white gems are placed based on the colors of the artist's works.
The Knight is a jewelry series inspired by medieval chivalry. The collection includes rings and necklaces made of 18K white gold set with diamonds. Some models use 18K black gold with sapphires, and the helmet form is set with black onyx. Elements of armor, shields, belts and swords are simplified into clean sculptural shapes. A three-dimensional sculpture process is used, from hand drawing to 3D modeling, resin testing and gold casting. Polishing, sandblasting, wire drawing and laser engraving complete each piece. The neutral style is intended to suit any wearer.
Green Angel is a ring inspired by the wings of angels, which appear in many cultures as symbols of protection, power and peace. The wings are formed from two natural leaves of the angel wing begonia plant. Each leaf is coated layer by layer with fine silver, then dried and fired in an oven. The base is made of 18 karat gold, which was melted, rolled, sawn and soldered by hand. The ring measures 40 by 30 by 20 millimeters, and the wings rest across the surface of the hand. Placed inside a clear box, Green Angel can also serve as a decorative object.
Sarah is a gold ring inspired by a peony cultivar and by the actress it was named after, Sarah Bernhard. The ring appears solid and delicate at the same time, much like the flower itself. Its appearance changes depending on the viewing angle. Sarah is made from recycled 585 yellow gold using lost wax casting and goldsmith plate techniques. The flower layers were formed by dropping melted wax onto an iron sphere tool, then cast in gold, polished and joined with gold wire using only a few solders. The design combines wearable jewelry and art.
Happiness is a piece of jewelry that can be worn as a brooch or as a pendant. The design shows a magpie beside bamboo, two motifs linked in Oriental culture with good fortune and noble character. The magpie is made with the traditional cloisonne technique, which gives the bird rich colors and textures. The bamboo is made of gold and silver and is set with diamonds and emeralds. Each step is completed by hand, including wire work, glazing, repeated firing at high temperature and grinding. The intent is to bring a traditional craft into modern jewelry.
Tambourine B is a bracelet inspired by the tambourine, a percussion instrument that completes the rhythm of music. The bracelet holds a movable inner ring that shifts inside the outer ring and produces a soft sound when the wearer moves. The precise fit of the two rings makes the construction method complex. Sterling silver is used for the piece. Hand sketches were converted into digital models and printed in resin, then cast, soldered, polished and silver plated by hand. The lightweight and minimal form is intended as a symbol of life, dance and music.
In jewelry designer Richard Wu's mind, mathematics and design share a lot of similarities on many topics such as structure, space and change. The Silky Bracelet is designed based on the designer's personal understanding of math, the simultaneity of simplicity and complexity. Like this jewelry design, simple as it may look like, yet contains many subtle details aside.
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.
Lotus Date Recorder is a pendant that records a special date. The design carries 31 small petals for the days and 12 marquise shapes for the months. A gold marking on one petal and one marquise indicates the chosen date, which is read clockwise. The pendant is rose gold plated and measures 50 by 50 by 2.5 millimeters. The form is inspired by a set of earrings from the Achaemenid Empire, based on the lotus flower engraved on walls in Persepolis. The lotus was a symbol of immortality and embodied the sun and the twelve months of the year.
The Gabo ring was designed to encourage people to revisit the playful side of life which is usually lost when adulthood arrives. The designer was inspired by the memories of observing her son playing with his colorful magic cube. The user can play with the ring by rotating the two independent modules. By doing this, the gemstone color sets or the position of the modules can be matched or mismatched. Besides the playful aspect, the user has the choice of wearing a different ring everyday.
Desire in Life is a jewelry series built from sculptural bone shapes. The series includes three pieces. A ring shaped like a skull presents a figure holding a diamond, expressing the desire for wealth. A second ring is formed by crossing ribs in a triangular structure.

Parts of the series are finished in 18K black gold. The series invites reflection on desire and life.
