Sunflower Ring | (Helianthus annuus)
Sunflowers are bright, large beauties, and this ring recreates its big flaming petals and spiraled, mathematical center. The ring curves around the front of the finger so that it has a low profile and is comfortable and easy to wear. The petals are connected at the tips by a foundational circle that keeps them from snagging.
The big petals of a sunflower exist simply to attract attention, if you look closely you can see that hundreds of tiny flowers are in the center of the circle. These miniature flowers are packed in tight spirals that bloom from the outer circle inwards. To read more about the mathematical patterns in flowers check out this post: Math in Flowers

Sunflower Ring FAQs

No doubt, this is a large ring. But it has a lightness to it that makes it feel more comfortable than many of our wide band rings. Unlike, for example, our sage rings, the back of the flower is actually a bit raised, so it doesn’t sit directly on the finger. You can see that detail in one of the photos, the sun shaped circle along the edge is what touches the finger, leaving the center slightly elevated.
This keeps your finger from sweating in the summer heat, and hopefully from feeling choked. The thin, simple band makes it slide on and off easily. But the flower can slide to the left and right on your finger if it’s not a tight enough fit.

This ring wants to be the star, so if it’s next to a ring on another finger they may get upset with each other.
I like to wear it on my middle finger, and customers tend to put it instinctively on their middle or ring finger. We haven’t seen anyone wear it as a first finger or thumb ring.

Maybe, but probably not much. Cesar and I both have big curly hair and we haven’t had any issue there. It has gotten caught on a sweater though.
