FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMO, Italy, April 25, 2020 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has announced that Space Couple Pendant by Larisa Zolotova has been granted the A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category.

What the A' Design Award Means

The Iron A' Design Award is awarded to good designs that meet the rigorous professional and industrial standards set by the A' Design Awards. This recognition is reserved for works that demonstrate a solid understanding of design principles and show creativity within their execution. Recipients of the Iron A' Design Award are acknowledged for their practical innovations and contributions to their respective fields, providing solutions that improve quality of life and foster positive change.

Regarding Space Couple Pendant

Space Couple is a pendant inspired by a solar eclipse. The design joins a sun element and a moon element in an asymmetrical composition that suggests orbital motion. Removable parts allow the pendant to be worn in two ways. The chain can pass through the hole of the solar disc, so the moon hangs above it. The moon part can also be threaded through the sun element and secured as a toggle clasp. The organic free form shape was modelled in 3D and cast in pink and white gold with the lost-wax process.
