About Marilyn Breichled

Mae Marilyn yn freichled a gynlluniwyd ar gyfer achlysuron ffurfiol a lled-ffurfiol. Mae'r ffurf lifeiriol yn mynegi cyrls a gwynt ar lan y môr. Gwneir Marilyn o aur 14 carat wedi'i ailgylchu heb blatio, a elwir hefyd yn aur 585, yn Sonkajarvi, y Ffindir. Defnyddir techneg fwrw cwyr coll a thechnegau gofaint aur traddodiadol, a chaboledir yr wyneb. Mae'r freichled yn dilyn siâp yr arddwrn a strwythur yr asgwrn, felly mae'r ffit yn teimlo'n sefydlog a chyfforddus. Gellir siapio'r darn i ffitio'r llaw. Y nod yw ffurf fawr a thrawiadol sy'n dal i deimlo'n ysgafn i'w gwisgo.
