Birmingham-based designer Tanin Dehkhoda has been honored with the Bronze A' Design Award 2025 for her "Life Under the Microscope" statement ring, a striking piece inspired by the intricate beauty of microscopic life and crafted with innovative techniques to celebrate nature's hidden architecture.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tanin Dehkhoda's "Life Under the Microscope" ring has captured international attention by winning Bronze at the prestigious A' Jewelry Design Award 2025. Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing structures found under a microscope-such as plant cells, minerals, and human tissues-the ring transforms these often-overlooked patterns into a wearable work of art. Crafted from 925 sterling silver and adorned with 128 round melee stones and seven round-cut cubic zirconia, the statement ring is a testament to the designer's commitment to merging science, art, and technology.
The ring's unique openwork lattice structure is meticulously designed using Rhino 3D and MatrixGold software, ensuring precision and harmony in every detail. Produced through lost-wax casting and refined by hand, the piece consists of three distinct parts that are expertly assembled to create a cohesive and dynamic form. The open design not only enhances the ring's visual depth but also allows light to interact with the stones, creating a dazzling effect reminiscent of light passing through a microscope slide. This interplay of light and form echoes the organic elegance and resilience found in the microscopic world.
Dehkhoda's research-driven approach involved studying cellular structures and translating their complexity into dynamic, fluid shapes through CAD modeling and 3D prototyping. The result is a ring that balances bold visual impact with comfort and wearability, inviting curiosity and conversation. The "Life Under the Microscope" ring stands as a symbol of growth, interconnectedness, and the beauty hidden in life's smallest details. Its recognition at the A' Design Award highlights not only Dehkhoda's technical and creative mastery but also her vision to redefine contemporary jewelry by celebrating the unseen wonders of nature.
