The Design

About Ruby Pixels Arracades

El disseny dels Ruby Pixels prové dels videojocs dels anys 80 i de les llums de neó vermelles de la publicitat urbana, així com de la inspiració en la disposició de mosaic dels patrons islàmics visible en aquest disseny. El principal repte era satisfer la demanda del mercat de joieria en diverses formes de símbols protectors, transformant les formes naturals en un anell orgànic amb la mateixa emoció, unint funcionalitat i estètica juntament amb la connexió emocional entre l'arracada i l'usuari.

Tags: Ruby, Earing, Modern, Classic, Puzzle, Pixels
Production Technology: The upper part includes princess cut diamonds and rubies. The lower part includes tear-shaped ruby. The base material is 18K gold.
Design Challenge: The contrast of combining an unconventional and modern design of the earrings at the top with the classic design (teardrop-like hanging at the bottom) and creating a work with high visual dynamics has been the main challenge in this design.
Research: How the asymmetrical color arrangement of red and white jewelry on the upper part and also the difference in height of these stones and the use of common claws to mount them, ergonomic placement of the upper part of the ear and hanging tears-shaped stone at the bottom, all with many Prototypes and multiple trials were obtained.
Inspiration: The design of this earring is inspired by the turning on and off of light pixels on screens such as 80s video games (like Atari) on a black background or even neon red lights in urban advertising, as well as inspiration from the mosaic arrangement of Islamic patterns in this design that is visible.
Project Duration: The project has been designed and produced in Tehran, Iran in 2020.
Operation Flow: It visually remembers the start of the spring with an asymmetrically combination of white and pink blossoms. The asymmetrical and random variety of colors create excitement in a modern atmosphere that calms by leading to a big tear at the end of the earring.
