The Design

About Safety Pin Ring

Safety Pin is a ring shaped as a fully functional safety pin. The ring sits over three of the wearer's fingers and can also be used as a brooch, pendant or pin. Safety Pin is made of 18ct yellow gold and set with multicoloured gemstones of 2.09 carats, with a total weight of 14.40 grams. A 3D model was prepared, then a wax prototype was printed and cast in gold. The cast was finished by hand and polished. The gemstones were fixed in place, and the parts were then joined. The design aims to remain lightweight, wearable and playful.

Production Technology
Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the safety pin were grown by prototyping on a 3D printer from wax, the cast was made in gold. They were processed by hand and polished with jewellery threads, for the perfect shine of the gems and showing their cut, clarity and colour. After that, precious stones were fixed into the base product and only then the parts were connected into the final figurines.
Design Challenge
The number one challenge is to combine the design of the piece with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight, wearable and ergonomic.
Research
Traditionally, jewellers have created static pieces for thousands of years. By adding movement to the jewellery I allow our pieces to come alive, inspired by the beauty of magic and nature. As a jeweller, my concept is to find ways to introduce kinetic effects and hidden secrets that are a unique joy to own.
Inspiration
Invoking the magical wonderment of childhood, the Games collection fuses the fun with the fine. With their emphasis on actual play and irreverent references each piece has the dual purpose of encouraging daydreaming and lighthearted games
Project Duration
The project started in January 2021 in London and finished in January 2022 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These ring have never been exhibited before.
Operation Flow
A Multifunctional Safety Pin ring can be transformed in to brooch, pendant or pin. Also, it could be stylised and worn on many occasions with additional charms.
