One Love – Ring Holder (Padlock Design)

One Love - Ring Holder (Padlock Design)

This project is a minimalist ring holder designed to resemble a padlock once the ring is placed.

The idea is inspired by love locks on bridges, the famous symbols of commitment and permanence.
In a marriage, however, the lock is no longer needed.
The ring itself becomes the symbol.

With the ring inserted, the object visually completes itself.
On the back, the subtle message “one love” reinforces the idea of a single, conscious choice.

The model is designed as a modular size system.
You only need to print one plate that matches your ring size and ring thickness.

No scaling required.
No trial and error.

How the Size System Works

Each plate is named according to:

• Ring outer diameter range (D)

• Ring band thickness (T)

   

You simply measure:

1. Outer diameter of your ring (in mm)
2. Ring band thickness (in mm)

Then select the matching plate from the table below.

Size Table

Plate Name	Ring Outer Diameter	Ring Thickness	Thickness Category
S1	17–20 mm	4.5 mm	standard
M1	19–22 mm	4.5 mm	standard
L1	22–25 mm	4.5 mm	standard
XL1	25–27 mm	4.5 mm	standard
S2	17–20 mm	3.2 mm	slim
M2	19–22 mm	3.2 mm	slim
M3	19–22 mm	6.5 mm	thick
L2	22–25 mm	6.5 mm	thick
XL2	25–27 mm	6.5 mm	thick

Tip: If your ring is between two sizes, choose the larger diameter range for easier insertion.

 

Printing Notes

• small support for the keyhole (tree)
• Works well with PLA or matte filaments
• Layer height: 0.16 mm 

A small object about commitment.
Not about locking something away – but choosing it.
