Mantis Collection

The brief for the second Award was a creative challenge, tailor-made for our Design heroes.

It invited us to design a piece of jewellery or body adornment for a fictional character of our choosing, or our own invention.

The goal was to defy the limits of what is creatively and physically possible and to design as if for a game, movie, illustration or virtual reality (VR).

The team created a ring for a mythical demigod called Mantis, who is the divine offspring of the Moon and Ocean.

The design is a symbiotic Biological two-finger adornment that Mantis uses to slide between the deep parallel ocean worlds.

The intention would be to use ethically sourced Saltwater cultured Pearls in the design.
