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 highlighted as an innovative illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Award. Unity Ring was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2023. The A' Jewelry Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design award which celebrates excellent design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
