The Design

About Van Gogh Pendientes

Pendientes inspirados en el Almendro en Flor pintado por Van Gogh. La delicadeza de las ramas se reproduce mediante delicadas cadenas tipo Cartier que, como las ramas, se mecen con el viento. Los distintos tonos de las diferentes piedras preciosas, desde casi blanco hasta un rosa más intenso, representan los matices de las flores. El racimo de flores en flor está representado con diferentes piedras de corte. Realizado con oro de 18k, diamantes rosas, morganitas, zafiros rosas y turmalinas rosas. Acabado pulido y texturizado. Extremadamente ligero y con un ajuste perfecto. Esta es la llegada de la primavera en forma de joya.

Production Technology: Earrings in gold 18K with pink turmalines 11,08CT, pink sapphires 4,22CT, morganites 1,00CT and pink diamonds 0,76CT. Matte and polished finish. Textured finish. Cartier-type chains.
Design Challenge: During the search for the idealized materials, some types of gemstones were not located and some cut formats were unavailable. The acquisition of gemstones in other formats and types was carried out and a new design was performed adapting to the materials found. Another challenge was to find stones with the right weight in order to make an earring with 25 gemstons extremely light.
Research: After extensive research on van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
Inspiration: The jewels in this collection were inspired by the works of artist Vincent Van Gogh. The earrings presented were inspired by the "Almond tree in blossom" canvas. The branches are represented by the currents and the different shapes and the gradient in the shades of pink represent the flowers in different phases. Just as a tree has its branches moving with the wind, the earring has balance and delicacy.
