The Design

About The Door of One’s Heart Collaret

La Porta del Cor és un collaret fet d'or de 18 quirats, diamants i esmalt. El penjoll està format per dues capes amb forma de portes. Quan la peça posterior es desplaça cap a la dreta, les dues portes giren i, juntes, formen un cor. Una nova estructura de rodament a l'interior del penjoll permet el moviment, i una fina sivella fixa les portes en un angle de 90 graus. El collaret es pot portar de dues formes, cadascuna amb el seu propi aspecte i significat. El disseny utilitza línies simplificades per expressar la idea d'obrir la porta del cor.
