Eve's weapon is made of 750 carat rose and white gold. It contains 110 diamonds (20.2ct) and consists of 62 segments. All of them have two completely different appearances: In side view the segments are apple shaped, in top view V-shaped lines can be seen.

Infinite Series Ring

Infinite Series

Infinite Series is a collection of rings formed by continuous stream lines. The lines flow over each ring from front to back and from inside to outside, folded and overlaid. The design offers a visual experience that follows a continuous loop in three dimensions. Such a loop cannot be shown in two dimensions and is understood only by observing the ring as a three-dimensional object. The patterns and shapes were generated with a computational dynamic design system. Each ring is made by wax printing and cast in matte black steel.
