Design Details
- Unique Properties
- A unique arrangement of floral drop earrings presented in a 3D style. The floral designs stood out at all angles with the embedded stones lit up the earrings like lanterns. Also, 2 bars were added at the centre for balance.
- Inspiration
- I personally love dangling earrings to begin with. I am hoping to set up my own online jewelry business with a range consisting only of my own signature pieces. Designs should be different from what the rest of the market has to offer and with a point of difference. As for Technical Inspiration, it had come from a lantern that i made with my dad during childhood.
- Research
- My main goal was to create a delicate piece that uplifts a woman's elegance, no matter if she's attending a function or at work, Simple yet elegant. Therefore, this design with flower petals was chosen. Due to limitation of funds, I could only realise this with Cubic Zirconias. However, I do believe I still maintained the same shining effects.
- Challenge
- I naturally do not have the gifts in drawings, I normally make my prototypes with papers, and try to illustrate as close as possible to the final envisioned product. The rest of the items details will have to be communicated with the manufacturer bit by bit.
- Realization and Technology
- 2 bars added at the centre for balance, item can be a floral swirl or any other shapes like leafs etc. Image Stone used : Cubic Zirconia
- Operation and Interaction
- Main purpose here is to show this earring is able to give off a 3D feel, earrings can be threading on the earhole (as in the photo) or on hook earrings. This design could also be manufactured with coloured stones. Pink, blue, green etc.
