Published in Crazy Design by Béatrix Foisil-Penther & Claire Chamot (Gründ Editions)

Bloomming’s Rings That Join Together were selected for inclusion in Crazy Design, an international publication showcasing unconventional and innovative design concepts from around the world.

The book presents products that challenge traditional thinking through creativity, symbolism and unexpected functionality. Among these projects, Bloomming’s ring concept was featured as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional wedding ring.

One Ring for Two

The article describes Bloomming’s rings as a symbolic design that transforms two separate rings into a single object.

Unlike conventional wedding bands, the male and female versions are designed to physically connect. When joined together, the two rings form one complete shape, visually expressing partnership, unity and connection.

The design was developed around the idea that a relationship consists of two individuals who remain themselves while also becoming part of something larger together.

Original Article Translation

“One Ring for Two”

We remain together, in harmony, and our rings become one.
The wedding rings created by design studio Bloomming reject traditional distinctions and are available in both male and female versions. Designed to join together and connect physically, the shape of the jewellery allows the two rings to fit together precisely, symbolising fusion and union.

A pair of silver wedding rings starts at approximately £290 and was also available on request in yellow gold or white gold.

The individual version was available separately for approximately £160.

Historical Reference

The publication also included a short note about the history of wedding rings:

The tradition of wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger dates back to Ancient Greece. Physicians believed that this finger was directly connected to the heart through a vein known as the “vein of love”.

Design Concept

The Rings That Join Together project reflects Bloomming’s early interest in creating products that communicate an idea rather than simply perform a function.

Rather than treating a wedding ring as a standalone object, the design turns the relationship itself into part of the product. The two rings only reveal their full form when brought together, creating a tangible representation of partnership.
