Connor Mannina: Week 6 Ring Model







I designed this to be a ring with the classic three stone face with the largest stone in the middle offset by two smaller stones on the side. I wanted to make the ring slightly more masculine and also give it a very modern look. After much deliberation I decided that I also wanted to challenge myself and somehow give the ring some kind of kinetic element. The ring is comprised of three major parts; the center band, the side bands with teeth, and the gears. The center band is connected to the side bands like a bearing. this allows all these pieces to move independently and rotate. There is a little knob on the bottom you can use to spin the gears. This causes the gears and stones to rotate in a fancy showcase kind of way. I purposely made the stone settings curved to have a barber pole effect while spinning. The main stone is Aquamarine, the two accompanying stones are Fire Opal, and the tiny stones going all the way around are diamonds.
