This research is the result of the designers’ amazement and excitement by nature and how it reveals new possibilities. When the word design is mentioned what comes to mind is the word description. Here in this design, the main goal was to demonstrate growth in nature despite it being called positive or negative. In order to reach growth, one has to go through hardship which is shown with gem’s culet and once this cycle is complete the earrings finish with round gems as it shows how at the end of any hardship comes the silver lining.

Throughout history, nature came up with many improving solutions for the challenges it has faced. Every living organism has to go through hardship in order to pass through the growth process. These earrings have been inspired by how going through all the positive and negative aspects of life can lead to growth. Positive features are shown with round gems and negative ones are shown with sharp gems. It can simply be seen how in the end things evolve in a way which positive takes over negative.
