About The Ray Broche

Book Text: The Ray er en broche inspireret af en solstråle, der bryder igennem skyerne på en overskyet dag. Brochens grundfarve er mørk, da smykket er fremstillet af sortrhodineret metal og en sort diamant. Klare ædelstene er kombineret med den mørke base for at give hele stykket liv. Perlerne giver et blødt skær, mens diamanterne tilføjer glans op mod det mørke metal. Brochen blev udviklet som en tredimensionel digital model. The Ray måler 50 x 30 x 17 millimeter.

Design Challenge
The most challenging part of this piece was transforming the dark image into bright object, still containing the dark element.
Research
My research began first by observing the cloudy day and capture the moment of the ray that comes out from the cloud. After I understood the shape and movement of the light, I then researched how to incorporate and design a piece that is fine, and balanced. I researched everything using online resources.

The inspiration of the brooch comes from the ray of sunlight appearing through the clouds on a cloudy day. The luster of the pearls gives and extra soft glow and the sparkle of the diamonds stands out like a ray of sunlight next to dark metal and black diamonds.
