Jewelry Design Mutualistic Symbiosis Jewelery by Taylor Chyn Mutualistic Symbiosis is a ring inspired by symbiotic crystals. The design combines 18k gold and 925 silver bands set with natural gemstones. The 18k gold keeps its raw texture without surface treatment, which contrasts with the polished protruding elements and the smooth inner ring. The 925 silver section is burnished through repeated acid washing, calcination and special treatment to reveal the natural brilliance of the metal. The ring measures 14.5 mm by 14.5 mm by 5 mm. The form expresses the idea that imperfections can become unique qualities.
