IBEX explores the dialogue between ancient cultural heritage and contemporary design. The ring combines one of Iran's oldest visual symbols, the ibex motif, found in prehistoric cave paintings and artifacts dating back over 17,000 years, with the iconic silhouette of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. By bringing these two distant references together, the design reflects my interest in connecting cultures across time and place. Crafted in rose gold and accented with emeralds and diamonds, the ring transforms historical symbolism into a contemporary wearable object, creating a conversation between memory, identity, and modern life.
