The Design

About Daphne Brosche und Anhänger

Diese Brosche vermittelt das Thema von Schönheit und Glaube durch die Geschichte der Daphne, der Lorbeernymphe aus der griechischen Mythologie. Da diese in China nicht sehr bekannt ist, ist es notwendig, die Geschichte auf geeignete Weise zu präsentieren, um das Design für ein chinesisches Publikum verständlich zu machen. Für die Gestaltung dieses Schmuckstücks wurden zwei Elemente verwendet: das Lorbeerblatt aus der Geschichte und der Mond, der in China als Symbol der Liebe betrachtet wird. Es kann als Brosche oder als Anhänger getragen werden. Der zentrale Edelstein ist ein 10,745ct rubinroter Turmalin, gefasst in 18K Weißgold mit Diamanten und Perlmutt.

Production Technology
Made of 18K white gold, set with 10.745ct natural rupee red tourmaline, diamond, and mother of pearl.
Design Challenge
The challenge of this process is the expression of the theme. The love story of Daphne is not widely known in China. It is difficult to find a suitable way to express the story and theme for Chinese audiences.

So I chose laurel leaves, which come from the story. I also decided on a moon element, considered a symbol of love in China, to integrate both elements to create this piece of jewelry.
Research
This piece of jewelry expresses the theme of beauty and faith through the love story of Daphne, the Laurel Nymph of Greek mythology. Because it is not well known in China, it is necessary to present the story in a suitable way to make this design understandable to Chinese audiences. So I chose laurel leaves, which come from the story. I also decided on a moon element, considered a symbol of love in China, to integrate both elements to create this piece of jewelry. It can be a brooch or a pendant. The center stone is a 10.745ct rupee red tourmaline, set in 18K white gold with diamonds and mother-of-pearl.
Inspiration
Design inspiration came from the love story, Daphne turned into a laurel tree, expressing beauty and faith in herself. One of the design elements is a laurel leaf, set with diamonds, which whirl around the center stone, just like the moment when Daphne turns into a laurel tree.

When it comes to love, it is naturally associated with the moon in China. Moon has been a symbol of love since ancient times, so another design element is the moon. They were integrated to create this piece of jewelry.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Yunnan, China.
Operation Flow
This multifunctional piece of jewelry can be a brooch or a pendant. The center stone is a 10.745ct natural rupee red tourmaline from Brazil, set in 18K white gold with diamonds and mother-of-pearl. This brooch inspiration came from Daphne, the Laurel Nymph of Greek mythology.
