This contest is really horrible. It´s getting worse year by year. Maybe the jury have to sellect something from a crowd of bad proposes, but the jury (formed sometimes by ex-winners) isn´t as professinal as should be.

My favorite by far is “On The Rocks” by Mia Ferrera Wiesenthal. The faceted glass speaks to the sapphire connection and also looks like it would feel good in the hand. The rest all look outdated and quirky/craftsy.

We should pick the worse? That’s a hard task.

The least weird ones are Knodells’s and Vajdas’ ones. I think I prefer “Sapphire Drop”. It’s a shame it’s a drawing, but I think it would look good in real life.

I agree, the renders are on the weak side and I am somewhat very surprised that Bombay Sapphire would post such weak images on their site.

I voted for “Vapour” by Michael Roller.

one more time… it’s ugly. Perhaps two or three are not bad and pretty but this is not real product design.
