How to mount a spinning carousel on a ring? Very deliberately, says Sinork Agdere, who created this majestic merry-go-round ring for his Los Angeles–based firm, Lord Jewelry. “There were so many challenges in creating this piece,” reports the Turkish-born designer, “from scaling down such a large idea to a wearable size—without losing the details of a real carousel—to the complex enamel work and the intricate placement of the beautiful stones.” Also tough, says Agdere, was engineering the teeny-tiny mechanics that allow the carousel to spin on its bezel. But the dazzling and whimsical final product was worth the effort. “In a carnival, I see the carousel as the centerpiece, mesmerizing everyone with each spin,” he says. “My vision was to create a high-fashion, modern piece that opens a bejeweled magical world for everyone.”Animal InstinctsDon’t be fooled by the pi
