In both Eastern and Western cultures, the bowknot holds historical significance, often linked with elegance and significant social events. The designer approaches the theme of entwined ribbons with a fresh perspective, crafting a dual-purpose piece that balances opulence and simplicity for daily wear. The diamond ribbon ring spans elegantly across two fingers, with discreet clasps enabling its transformation into two distinct components: a bowknot pendant reminiscent of a four-leaf clover, and a single-knot ring symbolizing confidence and minimalist style.
