Pavia-based designer Eleonora Federici has been honored with the Silver A' Design Award 2025 for her "Yin And Yang" ring, a striking reinterpretation of the classic bypass ring that embodies the harmony of contrasts through innovative craftsmanship, unique pearls, and a dual rhodium finish, celebrating both artistic vision and technical mastery.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Eleonora Federici's "Yin And Yang" ring has captured international attention by winning the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2025, a recognition reserved for designs that exemplify both technical excellence and creative innovation. Inspired by the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang, the ring explores the interplay of opposing forces-light and dark, strength and vulnerability-translating these universal concepts into a wearable work of art. The design challenges conventional jewelry forms, offering a fresh perspective on the classic bypass ring through its dynamic asymmetry and harmonious contrasts.
The ring is meticulously crafted from 18K white gold and features two distinct pearls: a luminous Australian white pearl and a rare gray Akoya pearl. These are complemented by high-quality colorless E VVS natural diamonds and gray diamonds, all set within a shank that is half-plated in white rhodium and half in black rhodium. This dual finish not only enhances the visual contrast but also symbolizes the balance and unity at the heart of the Yin and Yang philosophy. The white pearl is ingeniously secured with an invisible screw, a technical innovation that ensures both durability and elegance without compromising the ring's seamless appearance.
Federici's approach combined advanced 3D modeling using Rhinoceros software with traditional jewelry-making techniques, including casting, setting, and hand-finishing. The process demanded exceptional precision, particularly in protecting the pearls during rhodium plating and achieving perfect weight distribution to prevent rotation on the finger. The result is a ring that interacts with the wearer, its asymmetric curves and dynamic movement creating a continuous play of light and shadow. Presented in a luxury box with a dedicated certificate, the "Yin And Yang" ring stands as a testament to Federici's commitment to innovation, comfort, and the enduring beauty of contrast.
