About Van Gogh Arracades

Arracades inspirades en l’ametller en flor pintat per Van Gogh. La delicadesa de les branques es reprodueix per delicades cadenes del tipus Cartier que, com les branques, es balancegen amb el vent. Les diferents tonalitats de les diferents pedres precioses, des de gairebé el blanc fins a un rosat més intens, representen les tonalitats de les flors. El cúmul de flors en flor es representa amb diferents làpides. Fet amb or 18k, diamants rosats, morganites, safirs rosats i turmalines rosades. Acabat polit i texturat. Extremadament lleuger i amb un ajust perfecte. Es tracta de l’arribada de la primavera en forma de joia.

Design Challenge: During the search for the idealized materials, some types of gemstones were not located and some cut formats were unavailable. The acquisition of gemstones in other formats and types was carried out and a new design was performed adapting to the materials found. Another challenge was to find stones with the right weight in order to make an earring with 25 gemstons extremely light.
Research: After extensive research on van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
Inspiration: The jewels in this collection were inspired by the works of artist Vincent Van Gogh. The earrings presented were inspired by the "Almond tree in blossom" canvas. The branches are represented by the currents and the different shapes and the gradient in the shades of pink represent the flowers in different phases. Just as a tree has its branches moving with the wind, the earring has balance and delicacy.
Project Duration: The project started in september 2019 in Brasilia, Brazil, and finished in January 2020 in Brasilia, Brazil.
