Design a piece inspired by an architectural paradigm.
Design within an architectural paradigm, historical or contemporary, e.g. Classical, Art Deco, Gothic, Modernist, or any well-known movements or vernacular forms from across the globe. Focus on translating essential principles such as proportion, spatial balance, structural tension, ornament, or material dialogue into wearable pieces. More literal "architecture" interpretations are welcome as well, such as skyline motifs or building silhouettes. The strongest entries will have a fresh, personal perspective.
• Structurally realistic, producible, and suitable for daily wear.
• Fresh, personal interpretations encouraged (no literal copies).
• Any jewelry category, materials, or budget category are acceptable.
• 1–3 final design images, created or refined using the Ruby Kinglet platform
• Brief written rationale (max 120 words), outlining your architectural inspiration, concept and material choices
