Unity
Unity is a long-finger fashion ring made of 18 karat yellow gold. The design is inspired by the De Stijl movement, founded in 1917, and uses basic visual elements such as rectangles and cylinders to form a simple abstract composition. Rectangles of different sizes are repeated and aligned, some hollow and some filled, creating a rhythmic pattern and a sense of movement that guides the eye. The ring measures 20.80 by 18.76 millimeters and weighs 7.95 grams. A wax prototype was printed in three dimensions before casting.
Unity Ring by Alireza Merati was selected as an outstanding illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Awards. Unity Ring earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2023. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design competition that honors outstanding design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
