About Safety Pin Ring

Safety Pin ist ein Ring in Form einer voll funktionsfähigen Sicherheitsnadel. Der Ring liegt über drei Fingern der Trägerin und kann zudem als Brosche, Anhänger oder Nadel verwendet werden. Safety Pin ist aus 18-karätigem Gelbgold gefertigt und mit mehrfarbigen Edelsteinen von 2,09 Karat besetzt; das Gesamtgewicht beträgt 14,40 Gramm. Zunächst wurde ein 3D-Modell erstellt, anschließend ein Wachsprototyp gedruckt und in Gold gegossen. Der Guss wurde von Hand ausgearbeitet und poliert. Die Edelsteine wurden gefasst und die Einzelteile danach zusammengefügt. Der Entwurf zielt darauf ab, leicht, tragbar und spielerisch zu bleiben.

Production Technology
Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the safety pin were grown by prototyping on a 3D printer from wax, the cast was made in gold. They were processed by hand and polished with jewellery threads, for the perfect shine of the gems and showing their cut, clarity and colour. After that, precious stones were fixed into the base product and only then the parts were connected into the final figurines.
Design Challenge
The number one challenge is to combine the design of the piece with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight, wearable and ergonomic.
Research
Traditionally, jewellers have created static pieces for thousands of years. By adding movement to the jewellery I allow our pieces to come alive, inspired by the beauty of magic and nature. As a jeweller, my concept is to find ways to introduce kinetic effects and hidden secrets that are a unique joy to own.
Inspiration
Invoking the magical wonderment of childhood, the Games collection fuses the fun with the fine. With their emphasis on actual play and irreverent references each piece has the dual purpose of encouraging daydreaming and lighthearted games
Project Duration
The project started in January 2021 in London and finished in January 2022 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These ring have never been exhibited before.
Operation Flow
A Multifunctional Safety Pin ring can be transformed in to brooch, pendant or pin. Also, it could be stylised and worn on many occasions with additional charms.
