Unbound Heart
Unbound Heart is a series of rings with a movable main stone. The main stone can be set in three positions, so one ring offers three ways of wearing. In the upward position, the ring forms a closed circle with a retro look. In the middle position, the ring is semi open and the stone lies parallel with the ring arm for a modern effect. In the downward position, the shape appears soft and lengthened. The rings are made of 9K gold and set with small pearls and with topaz, tanzanite or emerald. The mechanism uses the natural toughness of unhardened gold to hold each position.

The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program which recognizes superior design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
