Twenty years ago, a single a gold drop in movement found its shape in the meeting between uncompromising craftsmanship and intuition. This organic silhouette, reminiscent of a mushroom, resonated deeply and became a personal signature for many.
An Icon Returns:
The Mushroom Ring
Following a journey to Japan in 2025, Marianne Dulong began experimenting with charcoal and ink on handmade paper. Inspired by the quiet power and contrast found in ancient Japanese paintings, she created a series of works that offered a new perspective on the iconic form of the ring.
Now, the Mushroom Ring reemerges from the archives as the definitive final chapter of the Dulong anniversary year. Reimagined in three new versions with a renewed clarity, the design honors a legacy that remains as relevant today as it was at its inception.
The Story of the Mushroom Ring
In the early days of the atelier, Marianne Dulong experimented with liquid heated gold on a worn charcoal block. As the gold heated, it formed small spheres that moved gently across the surface before settling into the little holes of the charcoal block, adapting to its shape and size.
One droplet remained on her desk for a long time, suggesting what it could become.
In dialogue with Anja Camilla Alajdi, the idea emerged to place the droplet on a short tube to let its roundness stand clearly. The resulting form recalled a mushroom, and the Mushroom Ring took shape from there.
Mushroom Quilt Ring
Mushroom Quilt Ring is adorned with a sparkling checkered pattern of 32 diamonds that intersect across the top of the ring. The reflection of light in the ring creates the illusion of a quilted top.
Mushroom Ripple Ring
Like ripples in water, the 39 brilliant-cut diamonds of the Mushroom Ripple ring are arranged in three circles on Dulong’s signature brushed gold surface. A playful optical display of sparkling diamonds cascading down the top of the ring.
Mushroom Beam Ring
Mushroom Beam Ring is crafted with diamond pavé, but with a smaller top size compared to the other two new rings. The careful placement of the brilliant-cut diamonds reflects the precision and uncompromising craftsmanship of Dulong's goldsmiths. The top of the ring radiates in all directions, creating an enchanting and eye-catching glamorous expression.
