Lily of the Valley
Ring for Aris Fine Studio
Lily of the Valley is a ring made of 18K gold, chrysoberyl and pink sapphire. The design is inspired by the symbiotic relationship between lily of the valley and wild strawberry. Layered gold branches form a controlled asymmetrical structure with an open construction. The open form replaces traditional enclosed gemstone settings and gives the ring a sense of lightness. Green and pink gemstones create a color contrast that acts as part of the structure. The open structure also allows the ring to fit a range of finger sizes.

Unique Properties
Inspired by the symbiotic relationship between lily of the valley and wild strawberry, this ring translates their organic growth into a controlled asymmetrical structure. Layered gold branches create a fluid spatial hierarchy, while the open construction departs from traditional enclosed gemstone settings. This ring evokes a subtle sense of suspension, shifting it from mere adornment to an expression of emotion and personal presence, reflecting a balance between softness and structural strength.

Production Technology
Materials: 18K gold, chrysoberyl, and pink sapphire Craftsmanship: This ring reinterprets botanical jewelry through structural abstraction rather than literal representation. Controlled asymmetry is introduced while maintaining visual balance, with visual weight distributed across an open form to create a sense of suspension. Sculptural metalwork is integrated with precise gemstone setting, while color contrast functions as a structural element rather than decoration.
Design Challenge
The core challenge lies in achieving both structural stability and visual lightness within an open, asymmetrical form. Through multiple rounds of structural testing, the support relationships between gold branches and the positioning of the gemstones were refined to ensure stability and durability during wear. The gemstones are integrated into the overall structural system, aligning visual expression with functional integrity and moving beyond the constraints of traditional jewelry construction.
Project Duration
The project finished in February 2026 in New York.
Operation Flow
The open structure accommodates a range of finger sizes, allowing flexibility in wear. The asymmetrical composition is carefully calibrated to maintain both visual harmony and structural stability. As the wearer moves, subtle shifts in angle reveal changing spatial relationships, creating a dynamic visual experience. Layered metal elements reduce visual density while maintaining structural clarity, balancing everyday wearability with artistic expression.
Research
This design explores how the logic of organic growth can be translated into a controlled asymmetrical structure. Through structural balance and a reconstructed spatial hierarchy, it captures the rhythm and fluidity of nature without directly replicating botanical forms. The open structure maintains stability while introducing a sense of lightness and freedom, resulting in a dynamic yet restrained composition. It reflects the resilience and strength associated with contemporary femininity.
Inspiration
Inspired by the symbiotic relationship between lily of the valley and wild strawberry, this ring does not replicate botanical forms directly, but instead translates their underlying growth logic into a dynamic structure. The contrast between green and pink gemstones reflects the harmony and variation found in nature. An open construction combined with layered elements enhances fluidity and spatial balance, translating natural rhythms into a contemporary jewelry language.
