Expectations:
The ring begins its origin with in the deserts of
North Africa with the Egyptians and has symbolized eternity. Having no
beginning and no ending, it is instantly recognized as the joining of a man and
woman as husband and wife. The hole of the ring its self is important as it
symbolizes a portal leading to the discovery of both the known and unknown. The
ring is worn on the third finger because it was believed that the vein of that
finger traveled directly to the heart.
With the aforementioned in mind, concept and design
roughs and eventual renders of matching wedding rings to be later produced
professionally by a jeweler. The design of the rings must centralize around
unity and must connect or intertwine in some fashion when they are not being
worn. All attempts should be made to steer away from the commonly used methods
of combining the rings, try to be as original or creative as possible. The
design of these rings should be experimental and have a perception of its
initial creation and utility. Final delivery will be color formats of the four
views of the finished designs: Front, Back, Top View, and Bottom View.
Concept:
Creating such an personal and intimate piece of jewelry can really be difficult when thinking about the purposes of wedding rings and their value to modern day society. The intertwining element of these rings is the most important function in this format. Many physical methods of intertwining the rings could be pursued, but a more emotional connection was the main goal.
Through the use of extruding letters located on the inner surface of the ring, they were meant to leave an impression on the skin. This impression when coupled with the partner's impression will form a phrase that can only be read when the two hands are physically engaged. This coupling of words can have a more powerful sense of intertwining than simply locking the two rings together, but still have the same function.
