Forget Rings With Metal! Apple’s Lead Designer Rolled Out A 100% Diamond Ring

This year, the Apple design chief has decided to show his talents via a new and impressive design: a diamond ring without metal.

During recent 20 years, the talent designer Jony Ive has created the excellent designs for Apple’s products including iPhone, iMac, iPod, and iPad. It is not too much to say that most of the users in the world have fallen in love with the elegance in each Apple’s design.

After he has worked for Apple for a few short years, since 1997 to now, Ive has become the lead designer of this top brand worldwide. His first design at Apple was for the iMac. The success in this design helped Ive to build up his reputation and bring him to a series of Apple’s next products.

Ive hasn’t only impressed Apple’s believers with many unique designs, but he also managed to publish a photobook on product design. Of course, his masterpieces at Apple must be indispensable in the book.

At the moment, Ive has had the massive knowledge of materials as well as how to combine a material with others. In recent time, in cooperation with Marc Newson – a famous industrial designer, he is planning to create a diamond ring.

What makes it special is that this ring is not the same as any ring available in the world. Instead of designing a ring with a metal base and diamond into it, these two talented designers created a pure diamond ring. That means there is no metal or any material on the ring.

They named this masterpiece The Red Diamond Ring. It is both a ring and a diamond. And it will be put up to the offline auction held by Sotheby’s.

The pure diamond ring is a clear evidence for the simplicity in their design style. Both of them focus on minimizing the processing of products. As for the red diamond ring, they used a micrometer-thick water jet attached with a laser to cut the inside of the ring. The purpose is that the wearer’s finger won’t be cut by the diamond’s facets.

Applying the professional technologies, Diamond Foundry will be responsible for producing this diamond model with 2000-3000 facets. As expected, the 100% diamond ring will be sold from Rs 1.09 crore to Rs 1.81 crore (about $150,000 to $250,000) at the auction on the early December.
