Gold-plated luxury sculpture of a large lotus flower
How we create a luxurious lotus flower ring sculpture
The luxurious lotus flower ring sculpture is plated with 23-karat Italian gold. This piece was created entirely from an original design to the final work in the Kostylo atelier.
The inspiration behind this beautiful, luxurious lotus flower ring sculpture lies in its rich symbolism, carrying significant meaning in many cultures.
The lotus flower ring sculpture was entirely handmade, utilizing expert knowledge of goldsmithing and craftsmanship. Elements and details in our pieces are often soldered with the highest-quality silver.
The silver-soldering process requires exceptional skill and knowledge from our goldsmiths, ensuring each piece we create is solid and durable. We avoid using tin solder, as pieces soldered with tin do not have the same strength as those soldered with silver.
Each of our creations is made with love for people who appreciate beautiful objects of the highest quality craftsmanship.
Here you can see in all its glory the figural lotus flower ring sculpture authored Kostylo atelier.
We began by sketching and then cutting the lotus flower’s base radius from a brass sheet.
The lotus flower’s petals were also cut from brass sheets in appropriate dimensions and proportions.
The cut lotus petals were shaped by hand under high temperatures, taking on forms very similar to natural lotus petals.
Once shaped, the brass lotus petals were meticulously grinded by hand.
We used a similar process to craft the luxurious lotus flower base, heating the brass sheet to very high temperatures and then manually forming eight lotus petals. We soldered the primary part and center of the lotus flower, where a beautiful, rare semi-precious striped flint stone would be set. As seen in the photo, this base was intricately hand-grinded.
The next step involved silver-soldering the first row of petals, which were hand-shaped under high temperatures.
The following photos show the silver-soldering of the lotus flower’s second and third rows of petals.
Once all the petals were silver-soldered, we began precise hand-grinding to remove excess solder and achieve a beautiful appearance.
The next process involved silver-soldering the previously prepared back elements of the ring.
After thorough hand-grinding and smoothing with sandpaper, our luxurious lotus flower ring sculpture began to take shape. The next stage was copper-plating the ring to fill any microscopic holes and create an even surface for gilding.
Meanwhile, we also hand-crafted the stone setting from a very rare striped flint with a beautiful pattern and polished it to a high gloss.
In the end, our luxurious lotus flower sculpture, made with a deep passion for goldsmithing and appreciation for art lovers, shines in its full splendor.
