Mushroom Fantasy
Ring for Sanaz Doost Studio
Mushroom Fantasy is a ring inspired by the world of mushrooms and childhood fairy tales. The ring is made of 18K yellow gold and is hand fabricated from scratch. The alloy, sheets, wires and tubes were all made by hand. Golden layers recall mushroom gills, while natural blue sapphires in different shades represent drops of rain. The layers and the sapphires appear suspended, without a visible base. The side view follows a golden spiral. A matte textured finish covers the surface. The ring measures 30 mm in width, 20 mm in depth and 30 mm in height.

Production Technology
18K yellow gold which is hand fabricated 100% from scratch. I made the alloy, forged, rolled, made wires/sheets, designed and made the ring. it has natural sapphires which I've set them myself. The ring has mat textured finish by using European wheel brush. As you can see in the photos the layers/gills and the raindrops which are natural sapphires are suspended without any base to hold them, so it was super challenging to solder them in place.
Design Challenge
the most challenging part was to create gills with gold and to solder them parallel to each other without melting them. another challenge were sapphires because they were suspended and I had to solder the settings one by one without melting them, and then cleaning and setting them on that position was super difficult. this design needed lots of attention, patient and craftsmanship.
Project Duration
started in november 2019 in Toronto and finished in April 2020 in Toronto/Canada.
Operation Flow
This is an ergonomic ring and it sits very well on the hand. it's unique but comfortable.
Research
For this design I researched and read a lot about mushroom structure, shape, different types and the growth process. I focused on the gills of mushrooms and found a solution to recreate those with 18k gold. the finishing part with European wheel to have mat textured surface in all the areas was also challenging because of the shape of the ring.
Inspiration
Mushroom fantasy ring is inspired by magic world of mushrooms and the childhood fairytale stories. When I was a kid I used to walk in jungles, play with mushrooms and blow the rain drops all the time. Mushrooms existed for 1 billion years and somehow have managed to remain full of mysteries, these mostly earth-dwelling organisms even can stimulate rain in the atmosphere. Therefor I mixed these two mysterious elements: form of mushroom gills with the golden spiral for the side view, and designed this mysterious ring.
