About Tao Juvelaro-Kolekto

Tao estas juvelaro-kolekto inspirita de la tradicia ĉina Taiĝi-motivo. La kolekto inkluzivas braceletojn, orelringojn, kolĉenon kaj ringon. Per spaca pensado, la Taiĝi-motivo estas malkonstruita en plurajn strukturojn, kiuj povas esti portataj laŭ malsamaj manieroj. Akso ebligas al duono de la orelringo turniĝi je 180 gradoj, tiel ke la ronda formo fariĝas longa orelringo. Silikonaj haltigiloj interne de la kolĉeno faras la ĉenon alĝustigebla, kaj buko transformas la kolĉenon en mallongan duoblan ĉenon. La pecoj estas faritaj el latuno kun arĝenta aŭ 24-karata ora plakado.

Production Technology
Production includes sketching, 3d modeling, 3d printing, handicraft, and finishing. The jewelry collection is made by brass with silver/24k gold plated.
Design Challenge
Decision making runs through every stage of the design and prototyping. Whether to remain the pattern of 3D printing and how; where to build the inlet and the support structures; how to turn the movable structure of the jewelry into reality and function well...As a designer and the 3D modeler of the project, I needed to adjust the 3D models and helped the factory to solve the problems, thinking through practicing.
Research
Taichi pattern has a history of 3000 years in China. It represent a philosophy of perfection, harmony, the infinite potential and the energy. I dug into the pattern, using sketches, paper models, 3D digital modeling to help me to understand the movement and energy that generated by the dance of Yin and Yang, and translated the energy inside the Taichi pattern into vibrant and graceful jewelry.
Inspiration
Taichi is a Chinese philosophical and cosmological concept for the "Supreme Ultimate" state of undifferentiated absolute and infinite potential, the oneness before duality. The pattern of Taichi is a symbol of perfection, harmony, the infinite potential and the energy.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2017 in Beijing and finished in February 2018 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
There is an axle on the earring and it allows half part of the earring to rotate 180 degrees, and the ear stud on one half of the earring could pass through the hole on the other half, so the earring could transform from a stable round shape to a dynamic long earring.
Tiny silicone stoppers are used inside the back of the necklace so the necklace chain is adjustable.
The buckle at the end of the necklace could be linked at the back of the neck so the necklace could transform into a double-chain short necklace.
