Collection: BUNGA PACIFIK
The LAI ring is part of the Bunga Pacifik collection, which explores a classic jewelry inspiration: flowers with a Pacific twist. For centuries, fashion and jewelry have relied heavily on classic Western florals like roses, daisies, and tulips. Orchids eventually broke that mold, sparking a massive tropical trend. The Bunga Pacifik collection is rooted in the vibrant botanical heritage of my home island, Kanaky (New Caledonia): The Flamboyant (or fire tree) and the Frangipani flower.
The LAI ring i inspired by the Flamboyant flowers (or fire tree). In late spring, it sheds its leaves to reveal dense clusters of claw-shaped, vivid red blossoms. It heralds the arrival of summer vacation and carries a deep nostalgia: as hundreds of petals fall, they form a striking layer of "Pacific red snow." In a cherished childhood memory, we would detach parts of the flower base and stick them onto our nails, pretending we had long, elegant manicures.
The LAI ring is 8mm high on a minimal 4 mm. The band pairs high-polish silver with sharp, sleek, sculptural spikes at its center. LAI means “light” in Nengone, Maré.
