Bargaining

Bargaining ring is a ring that has referenced the form of the playground facility, see-saw. It was inspired by the bouncing movement, it reminds me of going back and forth between options and decisions. This inspired me to provide more options for the wearer with this piece. The changeable gemstones can be switched by removing the original one from its catch, and change according to wearer's preference of the day.

“If someone grew up in an environment that is full of criticism, the person will consistently be living in the mode of asking “what if” and moving back and forth between decisions and regret, where no progress is made and no confidence to be built. With the shifting movement between one decision and another, the see-saw is a great visual reference, since it requires the two riders to shift their weights to lift one another. ”
