Download - The C6 Universe
C6TM

is shaped by the uniqueness and
duplicity of the element it is named
after and with the concept carrying
the chemical name for carbon in
the periodic table. The C6 is based
on usage of pure carbon atoms
materialized in multiple forms, with
the jewelry composed of carbon in
two completely different appearances
- namely graphite and diamond.
Combining science and aesthetics,
the C6 design concept brings the
diamond back into a beautiful cradle
of its natural element. With its stringent
and minimalistic design it is authentic,
contemporary and timeless.
C6 being both modern and classic is
an innovative renewal of the traditional
diamond ring.
The Design Concept
C6 ElementalRing in carbon with diamond (0,11 ct)
The C6 design concept is based on the
philosophy of C6 as a symbol of life.
Black as coal and clear as light itself.
This duplicity and the elements’ duality
embody the magic of the elemental
cornerstone, C6 of the living world.
The design also plays with time,
space and being. An evolution from
supernova explosions to modern
technology. An existential state of
mind by the simplicity of C6 and yet
complex.
The Philosophy
Duplicity of life. Black as coal and clear as light itself.

Diamond structure
Carbon structure
The element C6 is the basis for our
living world. It is found deep inside
our planet, in living creatures, in the air
that we breathe, and throughout the
universe. Without C6 there would be
no life.
Created by Supernovas stardust C6
was spread into the universe and
formed the planets and life on earth.
Graphite and diamonds - the two
materials constituting the C6 concept
- are allotropes of carbon, pure forms
of the same element that differ in
structure.
The Element and the Material
It all started with a passion for the
ocean. Seeking simplicity in life Danish
Anne Cohen went out sailing and
crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice - the
Southern route in 1993, and later the
Northern route in 1997 on a 60-feet
Vendé Globe racing boat.
The actual construction of the 60-feet
Vendé Globe racing boat was where
Anne Cohen became familiar with
carbon fiber. During the work with the
creation of the racing boat she learned
about composite materials both in
mind and doing.
With a passion for design and mate-
rial Anne Cohen fell in love with the
carbon element being the most simple
and yet complex atom, and with its
large spectrum of materializations ma-
king carbon appear in multiple forms.
The dream of making a carbon ring
based on pure carbon atoms was born.
With graphite fiber and diamonds she
could tell her story of life.
C6 Jewelry – Conceived with a Passion for the Ocean
C6 Stardust Ring in carbon with 9 diamonds 0,39 ct. TW/VVS .
Every piece is carefully crafted by hand
and is a long process from raw fiber to
the final ring. All settings are placed
directly in to the carbon fiber without
any additional materials, which gives a
unique ring that consists only of pure
carbon atoms.
To bring out the design concept the
handcraft is the key role to fulfill the
materialization of the C6 uniqueness.
At the Copenhagen Jewellery Fair
2010 Anne Cohen was awarded with
the 1st prize for innovative design and
use of materials.
