Die Ontwerp

Oor Whispers Under Wings Halssnoerhanger

Whispers Under Wings is 'n halssnoerhanger in die vorm van 'n kewer. Die hol vlerke vorm 'n delikate deurbreekte dop wat 'n klein hangende feetjie binne-in vashou. Wanneer die draer beweeg, skuif die feetjie binne-in en bring 'n sagte, klokagtige klank voort. Die hanger is deur digitale modellering ontwikkel en in silwer vervaardig deur middel van verlore-was-gietwerk, gevolg deur handafwerking, politoer en noukeurige montering. Die stuk meet 20 by 40 by 15 millimeter. Die kewer word gebruik as 'n simbool van beskerming, transformasie en veerkragtigheid, terwyl die bewegende feetjie broosheid en verbeelding suggereer.

Unieke Eienskappe: This pendant reimagines the beetle as a kinetic vessel of enchantment. The hollowed wings form a delicate architectural shell, encasing a suspended sprite that moves freely within. As the wearer moves, the inner fairy gently shifts, producing a clear, bell-like resonance. The design merges sculptural precision with interactive sound, transforming jewelry into a living, sensory experience defined by motion, lightness, and subtle acoustic presence.
Afmetings & Verpakking: 20mm x 40mm x 15mm, silver weight 18.1g
Etikette: Fairy, Beetle, Necklace, Niutopia
Produksietegnologie: The design was developed through digital modeling to precisely define the hollow structure and internal suspension system. Using lost-wax casting, the beetle form was translated into metal while preserving fine openwork details. The inner sprite element was fabricated and integrated through a concealed kinetic mounting. Final processes included hand finishing, polishing, and careful assembly to ensure balanced movement and acoustic clarity.
Ontwerpuitdaging: The main challenge was developing a hollow structure that could securely contain the inner sprite while allowing it to move freely and produce sound. The internal spacing had to be carefully adjusted to prevent obstruction while maintaining stability. Achieving the right balance between structural strength and visual lightness required multiple prototypes. Special attention was given to suspension, weight distribution, and assembly to ensure both durability and consistent kinetic response.
Navorsing: The design was influenced by the forests of Vancouver, where close observation of insects, organic structures, and natural movement sparked imaginative exploration. Sketching and prototyping were used to study how a protective outer form could contain a delicate inner presence. Special attention was given to creating a hollow structure that allows internal movement while maintaining stability. Through iterative testing, the relationship between protection, motion, and sound was refined, resulting in a piece that reflects the quiet vitality and mystery of nature.
Inspirasie: The design is inspired by the beetle, a symbol of protection, transformation, and resilience. By envisioning the beetle as a living vessel, the piece explores the idea of an inner spirit sheltered within a structured exterior. The suspended sprite represents fragility and imagination, while the hollow wings suggest permeability rather than enclosure. Movement and sound become metaphors for presence, reminding the wearer that life, even when protected, remains dynamic and responsive.
Projekduur: The project stated in December 2025 in Vancouver and finished in January 2026.
Bedryfsvloei: The pendant comes to life through the wearer’s movement. As the body shifts, the small inner sprite gently moves within the hollow beetle form, creating a soft, bell-like sound. This subtle motion transforms the piece from a static object into a responsive presence. The interaction is intuitive and continuous, allowing the wearer to experience the jewelry not only visually, but through sound and movement.
