The Design

About Dhvaja Огърлица

Дхваджа е огърлица, която може да се отвори за съхранение на малки спомени. Формата е вдъхновена от дхваджа, един от Осемте благоприятни символа на будизма, който символизира победата и силата за преодоляване на злото. Огърлицата е изработена от 18-каратово злато и е завършена с огледално полиране и обработка с перлен ръб. Изделието се състои от две основни части: декоративна дхваджа и запечатан контейнер. Дхваджата се завърта внимателно, за да се отдели от верижката, така че вътре могат да се поставят предмети като кичур коса, писания или писма. Водоустойчивият дизайн позволява дълготрайно носене.

Design Challenge

In the iterative process, constant decision-making and evaluation were necessary, making it a challenging balance to maintain.
Research
This piece represents a profound exploration of Buddhist culture, auspicious symbols, and personal memorabilia preservation methods. The designer employed modern design approaches, combined with innovative craftsmanship techniques, for prototyping and testing.
Inspiration
The design inspiration for this necklace comes from the dhvaja among the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism. The designer used modern and simple techniques to create this necklace that can be opened and used to store items. It is typically used to hold items of significance, such as a baby's first hair, umbilical cord, or to store scriptures and letters. The necklace features a waterproof design for long-term wear.
Project Duration
Design Start Time: March 2018
Design Completion Time: July 2018
Operation Flow
This necklace is exquisitely simple. It consists mainly of two parts: a decorative dhvaja and an openable container. Users simply need to gently rotate the dhvaja to detach it from the necklace chain to access or store items. Additionally, the container seals tightly to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the stored items.
The designer hopes to bring a vision of a bright future to everyone by incorporating this auspicious element, where all good wishes lead to victory.
