The Design

About Acacia Завушніцы

Дызайнер быў зачараваны геаметрычнай формай насення, якое яму дала дачка, і ён пачаў распрацоўваць дызайн. У прыродзе няма нічога завершанага, і ўсё завершана, - гэта першая думка, якая прыходзіць у галаву, калі вы бачыце гэтую пару завушніц. Пярсцёнак мае гладкую і прыгожую форму, а каштоўныя камяні падобныя на насенне, якое выходзіць з зямлі, калыхаючыся, прыцягваючы вашу ўвагу. Гэта вельмі ўнікальна, прырода і, вядома, ювелірныя вырабы.
