Lunar Rain: Designing the Cowrie Seashell Ring
Lunar Rain: Designing the Cowrie Seashell Ring by George Collins
Here is a video of our design painting process for the Cowrie Seashell Ring design for Lunar Rain. When our designer Melissa Chen thinks of a new design idea, she first paints the idea in watercolour on paper. This painting is then used as reference to create the final piece of jewellery.
The little cowrie sea shell is securely held in place by a band made of a strand of kelp. The kelp strand elegantly curves around the shell, representing the fluid movement of water. Designer Melissa Chen drew inspiration from the sea shells she finds on the beach for her unique sea shell rings. She noticed that the tide often leaves strands of kelp and seaweed gracefully encircling the shells in various patterns.
