The Design

About Blue Daisy Multifunksionele Oorbelle

Daisy's is saamgestelde blomme met twee blomme gekombineer tot een, 'n binnesnit en 'n buitenste blomblare. Dit simboliseer die ineenskakeling van twee wat ware liefde of die uiteindelike band verteenwoordig. Die ontwerp pas in die uniekheid van die madeliefieblom, waardeur die draer die Blue Daisy op verskillende maniere kan dra. Die keuse van blou saffiere vir die kroonblare is om inspirasie vir hoop, begeerte en liefde te beklemtoon. Geel saffiere wat gekies is vir die sentrale blomblaadjie verswelg die draer om 'n gevoel van vreugde en trots te hê, wat die draer volkome kalmte en selfvertroue gee om sy elegansie te vertoon.

Production Technology: Number of sketches were made for design elements such as size, shape, arrangement and practicality. I also used clay and paper cut to assist me better. Discussions between manufacturer, checking result or progress at every stage was utmost important for accuracy, good workmanship and common understanding.
Design Challenge: The most challenging was the technical part of the connector and hook whereby it must be practical, and yet unnoticeable. And consider the weight and the dangle effect on ears. Traditional butterflies stud didn’t apply, instead round stud with add on circle was created to avoid droopy earrings. Couple of trial and errors made and communication to manufacturer also has taken up some time.
Research: Firstly, to check the characteristic of the flower such as the petals, colors and composites. Actual flowers and pictures were gathered. Then, ratio and size of the flower was taken. Multiple sketches were made in order to translate it into jewelry. Other than basic tools, clay was used for initial concept and changes. It then translated into wax carving as a model before fabricated it to the shapes and form. Technical part such as size, weight, hook, tail and flexibility were also tested to ensure meeting the versatility yet modelling blue daisy without compromising the practicality.
Inspiration: The inspiration was from blue daisy flower which the color is rare, unique and mystic in compare to pink or peach daisies. Imagined the daisy is dangling. Flower on ear lope can be seen as old-fashioned but not it can be trendy too. First, just only wear the earrings stud for casual and simplicity. Second, hook on the daisies to each side of the earrings stud. Lastly, hook on both daisies to one side of the earrings stud only. The earrings was created for flexibility and different outcomes.
Project Duration: This piece started in June 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and ended August 2018.
Operation Flow: Blue Daisy is meant for multifunctional or interchangeable. From casual to more luxury feel at different occasions. It is very simple to operate. Just hook onto one another from a tiny tail hidden behind. No pressure is needed. It is safe to wear as the tail was designed with the flow of the outer shape with certain length requirement. To remove simply follow the flow to unhook.
