Sarah Ring
Sarah Ring is an artistically crafted jewelry piece that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of nature-inspired design and historical tribute, created by Finnish designer Anna-Reetta Vaananen. This sophisticated ring, crafted from recycled 585 yellow gold, draws its inspiration from both the Sarah Bernhardt peony cultivar and the legendary actress herself, embodying the delicate yet robust characteristics of both muses. The design features an organic, multilayered structure measuring 21mm x 14mm, with a ring width of 4mm, weighing approximately 19g in size 17. The creation process employs traditional lost wax casting and goldsmith plate techniques, where individual flower pieces were meticulously formed by dropping melted wax onto an iron sphere, resulting in naturally diverse textures and forms. The ring's distinctive aesthetic is achieved through the careful elevation of gold layers using slugs, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional effect that changes appearance from different viewing angles. This innovative approach to jewelry design, which began development in July 2020 and was completed in June 2021, represents a significant achievement in contemporary jewelry craftsmanship, earning recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category. The piece exemplifies sustainable luxury through its use of recycled materials and demonstrates exceptional technical prowess in its construction, utilizing minimal soldering points to maintain structural integrity while preserving its artistic essence. The design successfully bridges the gap between wearable jewelry and artistic expression, paying homage to both the Art Nouveau period and natural forms while maintaining practical functionality.
