Production Technology: The magpie cloisonne process used by this work is very complicated, need after cutting, carving, tinsel, silver inlay, coated with glaze, high temperature, grinding, etc more than ten working procedure, to do work in 800 - degree firing 20-30 times, can obtain the beautiful color, and these should be done purely manual. Due to the uncertainty of handwork, the success rate of a perfect cloisonne is not high, which is all the more precious in today's speed seeking industrial age.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge of this design is to break through the tradition and combine the cloisonne craftsmanship originally applied to the utensils with gold and gemstones to make the design a unique piece of jewelry.
Research: Because the craftsmanship of Cloisonne uses copper as the inner bottom tire, in order to make the blue and green more vivid, it can experiment with silver tires. So the artist tried to adjust during the production process and successfully got more beautiful colors.
Inspiration: As a bird that symbolizes auspiciousness, it is said that seeing a magpie means something good will happen. Bamboo is a very important plant in oriental culture, symbolizing noble and great character. The overall design is very oriental. The artist used cloisonne to create the magpie, showing the rich colors and textures that make the bird look more vivid. The bamboo behind it is gold and silver colour, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, making the whole design more gorgeous.
Project Duration: The project will be designed and produced in Beijing in 2021, and it will take 2 months in total.
Operation Flow: This piece can be used as a brooch and necklace in different occasions
